I have previously only cloth diapered a girl, which I founds pretty easy with dresses, leggings and yoga pants (and Children's Place adjustable waist jeans!). But now I have a boy, and I find myself looking at summer outfits since they are all on sale right now and thus far I can't bring myself to buy anything because I just don't know what size he'll be with the cloth booty.

Jeans rarely work unless they've got elastic waistbands and they're a couple sizes too big. Sweatpants are my go-to item this winter; they're warm and stretchy and fit nicely over those big bums. I also started making pj pants for them out of flannel and I add extra room in the bum area for those bulky nighttime diapers.katpavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367603250783032223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-81960586008527084992010-01-27T19:06:04.682-05:002010-01-27T19:06:04.682-05:00what do you do about jeans?? i really wish I coul...what do you do about jeans?? i really wish I could throw jeans on my 1 year old some days, but it's a shimmy & a shake kind of adventure to get them over the fluff!! i wish I knew a brand of jeans that works... maybe I should just size-up and hem the cuffs myself... if they had an adjustable waistband do you think that would work?<br /><br />i love little leggins and dresses on my little girl too- it's all she wears!RockinLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10399918021509420541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-67645868856384191422010-01-27T17:33:19.582-05:002010-01-27T17:33:19.582-05:00Have you tried BabyLegs?

When people ask about her cute "diaper cover", I am always very proud to announce that those ARE her diapers. If we're going somewhere, I always try to coordinate her diaper and have her wear something that shows it off. Since my daughter is learning to walk, I have found that a fluffy butt is a pretty good thing, and also that babylegs are a super great invention. I don't think you're weird for thinking of how to dress your baby, boy or girl. We all love to draw attention to our little darlings and let them shine. On a side note, I love the bubble butt look with cloth, and was able to spot a fellow CDing mom in the park because of it. Needless to say, we got along great!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066841345414853365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-91957329195045579642010-01-27T15:25:31.298-05:002010-01-27T15:25:31.298-05:00I have a cloth diapered boy (well, now I have two!...I have a cloth diapered boy (well, now I have two!) and we've found the same thing with 2 piece jammies. Only "union-suit" or other one piece jams make it here now. As for clothing, we do a lot of sweat pants and stretchy knit styles with any kind of shirt. In the summer, around home we stick to dipes and t-shirts only and have a couple pair of knit shorts for out and about. For my newborn I also really love one-piece romper style outfits for daytime. Lots of brands make this style in both summer (short legs and sleeves) and winter (long legs and sleeves) styles. They work great and look cute.Secret Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923758808092201762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-68164460397644191582010-01-27T14:08:01.333-05:002010-01-27T14:08:01.333-05:00Good post, but I'm hoping to hear some helpful...Good post, but I'm hoping to hear some helpful comments from veteran moms of boys. This is one of the hardest parts for me. My little one is so active, and sometimes it seems like his diapers are holding him back with all that extra material between his legs. Also, dresses aren't really an option (at least in our family) for our little boy. He's only 25% in height and 50% in weight, so the "right" size already runs long. It'd be disastrous to size up. What to do?? =)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332651689762654468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-34417444905256897212010-01-27T13:46:18.407-05:002010-01-27T13:46:18.407-05:00I didn't start cloth diapers till my daughter ...I didn't start cloth diapers till my daughter was over a year and a half. It was the beginning of summer and i quickly learned it would change things for our clothing choices! Our girl is SKINNY!!! Seriously, toothpicks for legs. I truly feel that she looks a bit funny in the bulkier cloth diapers because of the little sticks that she has coming out the bottom! I love those little legs and wouldn't change them, but have often thought, "hmmm, she would look cuter in these cloth diapers if she was a rolly, polly kind of baby!" <br /><br />We found that dresses were a good solution also. She just looked so funny in shorts and t-shirts because she was tiny on top, tiny from the legs down, but then HUGE right in the butt area!<br /><br />Once winter came I found out that the cloth diapers were a blessing. She had always been way to skinny to wear almost ANY pants that were the proper length for her. Couldn't do anything with an elastic waist. So we had to do jeans with little belts. Well, the belt is cute, but also a pain in the butt at diaper changing time! With the cloth diapers - NO NEED for the belt! Those big 'ol diapers hold up any pants!!!!<br /><br />Just wanted you to know you are not alone :)<br />Katie O.Katie Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08214577904857220833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-14911221074540892772010-01-27T13:08:45.410-05:002010-01-27T13:08:45.410-05:00just started CDing my daughter a few weeks ago and...just started CDing my daughter a few weeks ago and this post is great!

I used to be very frustrated that my daughter pretty much can't wear jeans because they don't fit over her fluff, but she looks so cute in her stretchy pants or in some babylegs, it doesn't matter. Great post, and thanks for the tip on the pajamas.

Then I found some great stretchy pants at two big box stores in my area, and not only are they inexpensive (so I can buy lots), they come in lots of colors (so I can buy lots). They work great over her diaper, and I buy them a size larger. Leggings work great one size up because she doesn't step on them.

The downside to one piece jammies was that my little one can undo her diaper (BG 3.0) through the jammies. She has great dexterity! Our solution? Put a pair of bloomers, the kind that come with little girls dresses, over her diaper, under her jammies. She can't get to the diaper tabs as easily so she can't get them open.

I don't mind if she has a bubble butt, every one knows we have her in cloth diapers, and if they don't, why are they looking at her butt, anyway? We haven't had much trouble with our 2 piece jammies, but since ours will be doing potty training sooner rather than later, can't see hindering her pottying ability for the upcoming seasons with one piece jammies she can;t operate. They have been awesome, otherwise, though you are right. Now that ours is not crawling she will have some dresses, as well. otherwise she ended up just smacking her face on the floor!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-49923368461597738882010-01-27T09:22:07.366-05:002010-01-27T09:22:07.366-05:00I've never cloth diapered a little baby before...I've never cloth diapered a little baby before because my son was 16 months before we started.
