Choosing the Best Cloth Diaper Inserts for Newborns

Bamboo Viscose Reusable Baby Wipes: A Multi-Purpose Solution

New parents often ask what the best cloth diaper insert for newborns is, and while the answer will vary from one family to the next, my top recommendation is always the Bamboo Viscose Baby Wipe. Reusable baby wipes are not only an affordable option, but they're multi-purpose and can be used well beyond the 3-4 month newborn phase of cloth diapering. 

You may have noticed that many brands will offer a newborn sized diaper that comes with a smaller, newborn sized diaper insert. And while these inserts can be great, in my personal experience, the brands I tried on my own newborn did not offer enough absorbency for my little one's urine output. While the fit was good, I became frustrated by the lack of absorbency options available for small newborn babies. 

Thus, enters the Bamboo Viscose Reusable Baby Wipe as a cloth diaper insert for newborns option. 

Our reusable, bamboo viscose baby wipes are designed for more than just for wiping during diaper changes—they're a secret weapon for newborn cloth diapering! These soft, absorbent wipes can be folded into narrow strips, making them ideal inserts for smaller babies and our top choice for cloth diaper inserts for newborns. Here's how to use them:

1. Pad fold the wipe into a narrow strip to fit inside a newborn diaper. You can do this by folding them once to give you four layers of absorbency, or tri-folding them for six layers of absorbency. 
2. Place the folded wipe inside the diaper cover or pocket opening of the diaper, depending on the style of diaper you are using. Our Bamboo Viscose material is safe to place against baby's skin, unlike Microfiber inserts that can wick too much moisture from baby leading to rashes and irritation. 
3. As your baby grows, you may transition to using these wipes as traditional baby wipes or place them as boosters inside the diaper paired with another insert style. The narrow and trim size of a bamboo baby wipe makes them ideal for adding to the soak zone for older, flooding toddlers. This versatility means you'll get long-term use out of these eco-friendly reusable baby wipes, from the newborn stage through potty training and beyond.

How to use Bamboo Viscose inserts as Newborns Cloth Diaper Inserts:

1. Place the insert inside your chosen diaper cover or pocket. If needed, fold the insert at one end to achieve the desired size and absorbency for your newborn.
2. As your baby grows, you can use the insert at full length or combine it with other inserts for customized absorbency.
