Little Beetle Little-To-Big Cloth Diaper Review & Giveaway


 I asked Lauren, the VP of Better For Babies, for a blurb about the company and, since I couldn't say it better myself, here's what she wrote:

 Better for Babies is entirely woman-owned and -operated, making natural and uncompromising lush products for babies -- and for grownups! -- using 100% organic, sustainably grown domestic and fair-trade fabrics. In the same spirit, Better for Babies, Inc. engages in additional practices for waste reduction, reuse, and recycling whenever and wherever possible. 

I have to admit, I have always wanted to try a Little Beetle so, I was more than excited to hear from Better for Babies about hosting a review! We were sent a Little-to-Big Organic Velour cloth diaper. Designed to grow with your baby, this one-size fitted diaper (approx. 6-36lbs) will fit your baby until they are potty trained! Josiah thought the diaper was for him, running around exclaiming, "It's a blankie for me". Poor boy! It took a bit of convincing, but I finally wrangled the Little Beetle from him. It is, in fact, the softest cloth diaper we've tried since our JamTots BerryPlush diaper.


The Little-to-Big diaper comes in White, Elemental Blue, Earthy Orange, and Willow Green. Always a fan of blue and velcro, I chose an Elemental Blue aplix Little-to-Big diaper to review, though snaps are also a available for all you snapsters! The blue is so amazingly bright and the velour softness makes this diaper irresistible

There are several features which make this diaper stand out from others, from the use of natural, sustainable materials to the fact that the diaper seems almost magical with it's form-fitting ability. It's hard to describe, but the diaper seems almost impossibly flexible. It fits Liam (21 lbs) perfectly so, I tried it on my 3 year old (32 lbs). It fit perfectly to his body, too. I only wish I'd tried this when Liam was a preemie at 6 pounds. No other cloth diaper fit, but I'm certain the Little-to-Big would have!

Another extra I love about the Little-to-Big diaper is the semi-attached booster that can be folded to the front or back or just laid flat depending on where you need the most absorbency. We've actually had to go with disposables (eck!) most nights since Liam is a very heavy wetter, but when I use the Little-to-Big diaper with a doubler,  there are no leaks and Liam is comfy all night without waking!
 Liam says to try a Little-to-Big Little Beetle Cloth Diaper today! :)
