Best Bottom Cloth Diaper System- New!


Best Bottom cloth diapers are made from some of the best quality PUL I've seen. All Made in the USA too.

The cover is one size fitting from about 7lbs to 35 lbs. The bulk is mitigated with 3 different size inserts to take you from newborn to potty training.

I'd recommend 3 inserts for every 1 cover- so that's 2-3 diaper changes!

Now available to try in our cloth diaper newborn & 15+ lbs rental kits

For Best Bottom snap-in inserts, my personal preference is the organic cotton & hemp; however, if you prefer faster drying and aren't as concerned about having natural fibers next to baby's skin the stay dry inserts might be the best for you. You can always try a few and each and then stock up on your faves.


I especially love the gussets on the legs for newborns but really they're nice to have until solid food or even potty training!

Wondering where to buy Best Bottom Diapers? Best Bottom Cloth Diapers are now available at Abby Sprouts' Store in Victoria, BC, Canada or you can order online from our website.

What to Pack in your Hospital Bag?

We've had a few moms asking lately what would be good to pack for the hospital so we got some input from moms on our facebook page to make a list of the essentials and luxuries. 

In no particular order:

  •  Hair Ties
  • Food (for you, support people etc)
  • Toothbrush/Tooth Paste
  • Diapers
  • Receiving blankets (we like aden + anais or Dress Me Up Organic)
  • Nipple Cream
  • Your own pillow
  • Nursing Pillow
  • Lip Balm
  • Bottom Balm
  • Camera
  • Extra Batteries
  • Flip flop or slippers
  • Warm socks
  • Water bottle
  • Going home outfit for baby
  • Baby Clothes
  • Clothes for yourself
  • Nursing Bra
  • Going home outfit for you (comfy, loose fitting, not pre baby clothes)
  • Brush/Comb
  • Facewash/Shampoo/Conditioner
  • Baby Wash 
  • Nursing Pads
  • Menstrual pads
  • Underwear pads fit into
  • Something to wear in the shower
  • Change of clothes for partner/support person
  • Baby Hat(s)
  • Something to wear to labour in
  • Pajamas
  • Family/Friends Phone Numbers
  • Cell Phone & Chargers
  • Music/Ipod
You can leave the bigger items like a pillow and nursing pillow in the car until you need/want them and just have the rest in a bag to come in with you.
