Okay. So everyone knows I am absolutely obsessed with cloth diapers. It's kind of ironic, because 2 years ago if anyone told me I would ever use cloth diapers, let alone embark on a full-blown love affair with them, I would have died laughing. Then after my daughter was born, I found myself pregnant again when she was only 3 months old. Looking at the added expense of another baby in diapers, cloth became inevitable. I was so relieved when I found out that cloth diapers today are NOT your granny's old fashioned nappies! Okay. I lied. I have and LOVE prefolds, but I use them primarily as doublers for my pocket diapers or with a cover. I have since learned to love fluff, not only because they are adorable, but because they are so much better for the environment than disposables. Not to mention, they are chemical free, so I can feel good about sticking my babies' cute little butts in them! And the BEST thing about cloth in my humble opinion is that they are reusable. And there are even One-Size options available that can fit my 3 month old AND my 16 month old, all with a few simple snaps!
I have been trying out every diaper I can possibly get my hands on. I have by no means tried them all, and there are many I would love to test. I know that finding a good overnight diaper can be a HUGE challenge for cloth-diapering families. I actually know some mamas who use disposables at night because they cannot find a cloth diaper that will hold up against their heavy wetters. I have heard that wool soakers work like a charm, but wool is EXPENSIVE and has to be lanolized and cared for properly. Now in my house, my husband does the bulk of the laundry, (that's actually his only chore now that I'm no longer preggo and on bedrest) and I do not think he would know what to do with wool!
I have tried several different brands of diapers and diaper-insert-cover combinations, and have found limited success....Until I discovered Ebber-Deeber Diapers. My friend, Mary, who turned me onto cloth LOVES Ebber-Deebers, and suggested I give them a try. So I contacted Sara, the owner of Ebber-Deeber, and asked about ordering some custom dipes from her. She was very helpful and answered all of my questions, and then she directed me to her fabric choices. HOLY COW! Ebber-Deeber has almost 300 current fabric options! Maybe more, since Sara is as addicted to cloth as I am to the diapers themselves!
My first Ebber-Deebers are the ones pictures at the top of the post: An all-fleece tie-dye OS pocket diaper and a 1/2 and 1/2 Thing 1 Thing 2 OS pocket diaper. (1/2 and 1/2 is Sara's unique design in which the top half of the diaper is print and the bottom half is a very soft, luxurious minky!) Ebber-Deebers come in either all print or in 1/2 and 1/2 and can be made with either a fleece or minky inner. I was so excited about my order than I checked my mail obsessively till they got here!
When I received my Ebber-Deebers, I was instantly in love! They are soft, fluffy, adorable, and incredibly well-made. The stitching is expertly done, since Sara IS the best, and the pocket opening is generously sized, so even big, clumsy man hands can easily stuff these diapers. Now I know that cute and fluffy does not always equal effective, so I put the diapers to the ultimate test the same day I got them: Overnight on my heavy wetting Sophie-Monster! I cannot tell you how many times she has woken up in the morning with a leaky diaper. No fun for baby, and definitely no fun for Mommy! It's pretty nasty having to strip your child of cold, wet, stinky clothing. Ughhh.... Never on the top of my favorite things to do list!
So I put Sophie in the all-fleece diaper the first night, and I tentatively waited for the morning, wondering what I would find...To my absolute amazement and delight, she was DRY! And I don't mean she didn't pee...The diaper must have weighed a good 5lbs, it was so full. But it was 100% dry to the touch. A lot of diapers will feel slightly damp, even if they don't actually leak. Not my Ebber-Deebers! I was elated! The next night, I tried my Thing 1 Thing 2 diaper. This time, Sophie wasn't feeling well and slept for a good 12 hours. AND had a massive poo explosion, on top of her normal heavy wetting. When she woke up, not only was the diaper completely dry again, it contained all of the mess perfectly with absolutely no leaks! Also, the fit is FANTASTIC. These diapers not only fit my toddler beautifully, they also fit my tiny, 11lb 3 month old!
I think it's safe to say I have found my FAVORITE diapers! (And we have hundreds!) It is my goal to build a night-time stash for both babies consisting entirely of Ebber-Deebers. It's going to take awhile, but even my husband was so impressed that he told me I could order as many as I like, as long as the budget allows. So within 6 months, I should have a very nice stash! I have 2 currently, and 2 more on order.
Here are a TON of photos to give you an idea of what Sara's work looks like, as well as a small sampling of her HUGE variety of prints:

These are VINTAGE prints that remind me of my childhood! Kind of makes me sad that I am buying for a boy AND a girl, so I have to stay away from the cute, girly prints!
Two different Bambi prints. One in full-print, and the other is 1/2 and 1/2
What a GREAT way to show your support for Autism Awareness! Such a cheerful, colorful print!
I saw this, and HAD to order one for myself!
Here's the back of this adorable 1/2 and 1/2 diaper!
I ordered one of these, too! I love the rich colors and intricate details of this print!
And the back....
This is totally on my Ebber-Deeber wish list! Now if only she had The Doors fabric, too!
A MUST for any Wizard Of Oz fans! And she has other Oz prints as well!
Super-fun fireworks, perfect for the 4th of July! Also on my Wish-List!
Just a small sample of finished Ebber-Deebers! I LOVE the Monkey print, don't you?
And there are TONS more where that came from! I am officially hooked on Ebber-Deeber diapers. They are by far the cutest, best fitting, and best performing diapers I have come across. These puppies aren't just bullet-proof, they're MISSILE-PROOF! And Sara, the head honcho at Ebber-Deeber, is an awesome, sweet person, and I love her to death, too! Did I mention that they are VERY affordable, as well? They are priced about the same as any mass-produced diapers, but these are SO much better, and have so many fun, customizable options! Oh! I have a birthday coming up, and if any of my friends-in-real-life want gift ideas, I would LOVE more Ebber-Deebers!
