Little Lemon Tree one-size pocket diapers are designed to fit babies from 8-30 pounds.

The snap closures have 5 waist/hip settings, and there are 3 rise settings to offer a custom fit for your baby.

The diapers have a PUL outer and stay-dry suedecloth inner. You can stuff the pocket with microfiber or bamboo inserts, both available from Little Lemon Tree.

I received both a microfiber insert and a hemp doubler.

The stitching is amazingly neat & even. Little Lemon Tree uses only 100% polyester thread, so you don’t have to worry about wicking.

Here is the small rise setting measured folded and stretched:

Medium:

Large:

Here’s my son in the large setting at 2 1/2 years old and about 28 pounds:

Here’s my little guy at 3 weeks old and about 7.5 pounds (a wee bit smaller than the recommended size!)

Diapers start at $11 for solid colors and $14 for prints. Add $2 for a microfiber insert or $4 for a bamboo insert.

Little Lemon Tree also has cloth wipes, doublers, lounge pants and bibs!

Giveaway: One reader will receive their choice of in-stock diaper (with microfiber insert) from Little Lemon Tree (ARV $13-16.)

Baby K’tan Carrier Review & Discount/Coupon Code

Jan 3,2012 / By Maria / 5 Comments

A Baby K’tan Carrier is a wrap, only without all the wrapping! Stick with me and you’ll see what I mean.

The carrier consists of two loops attached to each other, and a sash for added security and support. The sash is also the carrying bag!

I love baby wraps because they are easy to use, comfy for baby and distribute weight evenly. The downside is that they are quite long and if you have to wrap it while you’re out and about, it can end up dragging on the ground (super gross if it’s raining.) The Baby K’tan works the same way as a wrap, but it goes on differently.

Put the loops together and put them over your head with the support band (the small loop that attaches the two big loops together) behind your neck.

Put your arms through the loops, then move the one furthest from your body off of your shoulder and down around your waist.

Make a pocket for the baby, slide baby in and spread the fabric wide.

Bring the other loop up and spread wide over baby.

Make sure the support band is at the center of your back and that the fabric is spread wide over your shoulders. This ensures the weight is evenly distributed for maximum support.

Now you’re all set to wear a baby from 8-35 pounds! All the comfort of a baby wrap without all the wrapping. The Baby K’tan is 100% cotton knit with one way stretch. Even if it seems tight at first, the fabric enables the Baby K’tan Baby Carrier to stretch slightly to conform to you and your child.

One thing I personally see as a downside is that the Baby K’tan is a sized carrier. You choose your size based on the wearer’s fitted t-shirt size. Your size doesn’t change based on baby’s age or weight. This is a negative to me because my husband and I would each need our own carrier, and those of us that are great at gaining weight during pregnancy (but not as great at losing it) might need more than one size. The sizing info says if you fall between sizes, or if you are under 5’2″ (I am), choose the smaller size. So, I went with an XS based on my pre-pregnancy size, even though I’m more of a small right now (at 3 weeks postpartum as of the date I’m writing this.) The other negative is for wraps in general; you can’t put it on/take it off while holding the baby. Not a big deal but still makes a sling more convenient for me to use sometimes.

Cotton carriers retail for $62.99, organic cotton carriers retail for $73.99, and half mesh/half cotton carriers retail for $67.99. You can add embroidery and personalize your carrier for $14.99! You can shop the Baby K’tan webstore or find a store near you. Be sure to “like” Baby K’tan on Facebook, follow Baby K’tan on Twitter and check out the Baby K’tan YouTube channel.

Londonware Fleece Longies Review & Giveaway U.S./Canada (CLOSED 1/5)

Dec 29,2011 / By Maria / 4 Comments

Londonware is owned by work-at-home-mom Wendy, and sells trendy fleece diaper covers including soakers and longies!

When I looked at her shop, I fell in love with the pattern of the soaker in her profile picture, and she made a pair of longies for me in the same chocolate dot print!

I received a size small, with a 0-3 month length. Small-Large retail for $10 (XL is $1 extra) with free shipping! Skirties sell for $15 and soakers are $7-$8.50.

The longies are a bit higher in the back for a great fit, and can be used over disposable or cloth diapers.

Wendy can add an additional layer inside for use with cloth diapers if you like!

You can request any inseam for your longies! Below I’ve laid the small longies under a pair of newborn (5-9 lbs) pants so you can see how they compare.

They are a little bit big on my tiny 7ish lb 2-week old, but they have a bit of “give” to them. I’ll be able to use them rolled up now, and rolled down later!

Giveaway: One reader will receive their choice of in-stock or custom item from Londonware, ARV up to $15.

BABY by danish – Fashionable Wet Bags – Review

Dec 28,2011 / By Maria / 6 Comments

BABY by danish is a line of gorgeous, high quality and fashion forward wet bags and clutches.

When I looked at the website, I thought the bags were beautiful, which immediately struck me as a little weird to say about a dirty diaper holder, LOL. It wasn’t just the fantastic photography; the bags really are beautiful!

The classic wet bags are available in 5 beautiful prints, for $28 each.

I received the earthy owls print.

The wet bags have a thick & durable cotton duck exterior and a durable, waterproof interior (does not contain DEHP, Phlalates, or BPA Plasticizers and is FDA approved food safe.)

The 100% waterproof seams are heat bonded, with no chemicals or solvents used.

The wet bags are slightly wider at the bottom than the top and have high quality, water resistant zippers.

They hold plenty of diapers with no trouble.

I love that they have a handle, which you don’t always see on this size wet bag!

The small wet clutches are available in the same prints, and retail for $22 each.

BABY by danish products are manufactured in the U.S.A.! You can buy the wet bags & clutches directly from BABY by danish.

Flip Trainers Review – Updated 11/11/13

Dec 26,2011 / By Maria / 30 Comments

Post contains affiliate links, I purchased this product myself. I finally received the Flip Trainer I ordered the day the new products/colors/prints were announced! My son is 2 1/2 and isn’t terribly interested in the potty. He was doing pretty well before the baby arrived, but backpedaled a little bit. I know that’s normal and I’m not concerned! I was, however, excited that Cottonbabies had created a trainer, because I knew it would be good!
