Malachi Jude
12 months and beyond

Malachi is now 1 year old!  I pulled out a medium side-snapping diaper Malachi had "grown out of" some months ago.  I was surprised to find it fit very well again.

Malachi weighs 23 lbs 15 oz, and is 30-something inches tall.  He is well-proportioned for his age.  Still, he's got a lot of chub.

I made a new diaper for him.  One of the drawbacks to using cotton wovens or flannels is that the fabric does not stretch.  Stretchy diapers fit better and longer.  But cotton wovens and flannels come in a wide variety of adorable prints and are relatively easy to find.  I've come up with a solution--stretchy wing tabs.

All diapers should fit this good!!

With stretchy wings, and without.  

These two diapers have been washed and used several times.  We love them both, but obviously one fits better than the other.  Both are size large, front snapping, have bamboo fleece hidden layer and bamboo velour inner lining.  The diaper on the left has a cotton woven outer with velour on the wings.  The diaper on the right has flannel outer.

Malachi has been very happy to model our new All-in-Two diaper.  These pictures were all taken with all three inserts inside:

Excellent leg coverage with the modified gussets, nice trim fitting in the front (especially for a one-size), and not too bulky at the back

I removed the small insert (going to give it a good test), then we got ready for an outing (read: going to the Doctor's office with only the large snap-in and a doubler).  Specifically, MJ's inserts are bamboo fleece topped with bamboo velour.  This trip lasted 2.5 hours and at that point I HAD to change him.

A great fit, considering these are denim shorts not generously made for cloth diaper "bubble butts!"
