It’s blast from the past day … remember Nifty Nappy Diapers? I featured them in my wool event last year! Then Vilate had to close up shop because of regulatory laws that make creating children’s products costly and difficult (I’m not really clear on all that legal stuff!).

I know so many of us were sad to see those adorable diapers go… but, good news! The have returned! In the form of Red Barn Cloth Diapers a cottage licensee of Nifty Nappy™ diapers! At the Red Barn, Jen, a “Nifty Nappy Needlewoman” learned to sew cloth diapers from Vilate herself. I can vouch from owning a Nifty Nappy diaper before and after this transition, I do not see any differences in quality! 

I received the Red Barn Nifty Nappy Fitted in a cute earthy Ooga Booga print! This diaper is a one-size listed to fit 7-35 lb babies. My son is 27 lbs in this photo, so you can see how well they still are fitting him on the upper end of the weight scale. I do wish the back came up about another half inch – I don’t know if my son just has a long hip section, but he seems to get that “plumber’s crack” look a lot! Regardless, the diaper is trim, fits well, and contains well, so it’s minor!

The body has a cotton knit outer, then an organic hemp fleece sandwich layer, finally, a soft micro fleece inner layer. It comes with a fold-in-half lay-in insert made from organic hemp fleece on one side, and organic bamboo velour on the other. Because it’s two kinds of fabric, when you wash it, the hemp does shrink but the velour doesn’t, but this does not affect how the insert works – I love the combo of two very absorbant fabrics in one insert!

The best feature on this diaper, for me with a wee one coming along, is the overlapping snap front – this is what makes it able to fit those small babies, because you can really customize a small fit. And the snaps are through all the layers so they don’t pull through. Here, my son is too big to need the overlap but you can see the snaps:

This fitted is made to be worn with a cover, as it is not waterproof. A wool soaker or longie would go great with these fitteds! Just too bad the SUPER cute fabrics have to be covered then! Oh and I should mention the variety of fabric choices is great for you mamas who like to have an uber-cute stash!
