In just a few months I’ll celebrate four years of cloth diapering. FOUR!
Truthfully, I thought by now I’d only be diapering one baby, however, we are still working on night time potty training. And as my older son nears thrifty-four pounds he’s rapidly outgrowing all my favorite diapers for him.
All but a few.
We’re cloth diapering toddlers (er, toddler and a larger baby) over here!
Thank goodness for diapers like Glow Bug! You can read my previous review of Glow Bug cloth diapers for more about the basic features of their one-size pocket diaper.
I will take a minute to remind you that Glow Bug diapers are sold in sets of one dozen (for $150) not singly. So Glow Bug can offer a really great deal because they sell in bulk! And I have to point out they have the 360 degree gusset to contain blowouts from every angle!
Glow Bug cloth diapers fit from teeny tiny to toddlerhood! And not just “barely fit” either.
See, I can “squeeze” my toddler into many of the diapers we own still. But they are stretched around his hips on the last snap. It doesn’t look comfortable. Often there are leaks because there’s no margin for error when he moves in his sleep.
However, our Glow Bug diaper is generously cut, especially the wings around the waist. I like how they snap FULLY around my toddler’s waist, (with wing snaps to prevent drooping!), making sure he is covered on the sides and front. So leakage is contained, and he doesn’t wake up with his diaper all bunched up.
So, besides the great features of Glow Bug I’ve covered in the past, I’m thrilled Glow Bug makes cloth diapering toddlers easier!
What do you use for cloth diapering toddlers or larger babies?
I’m pleased to announced that Glow Bug Cloth Diapers is a sponsor of my blog for A Merry Fluffy Christmas! Be looking for their diaper in my big prize package!
Thanks to Glow Bug for providing a diaper for this post. All opinions are 100% my own.
My son potty trained early so he by the time he was 2 he was wearing cloth pullups at night.

We use a mix of one size, size medium and duo size two diapers on our toddler. She’s tall and has a slim waist.

My daughter’s Glow Bug diaper fit her until she was about 40 lbs. It was wonderful, plus they’re not super expensive.

When my son started to get ammonia burn at night from Pocket diapers at around 2 years or so, I switched him to pull-ups at night. I wish I would have just invested in a few good fitteds and wool or fleece at night though for more breathability. Now he is 3 years, and mostly night time potty trained. He is wearing partially waterproof cloth training pants, or occasionally pull-ups to bed just to be safe.

Not sure about the 360 degree gusset and having to spray out toddler poo, but I’d be willing to give it a try!

I’ve never cloth diapered a toddler. My first used disposables. I’m hoping some of the one size diapers fit when the time comes though. I like the 360 gussets in the Glow Bug diapers.

What a cutie! It’s nice to have recommendations like this, so I know what kind of things would make a good gift for new parents.
