I have a friend that had the same problem. I think the issue was that she needed to do a few more washes to reach maximum absorbency. The cotton has natural waxes in it that cause it to repel liquids. The liners must go through the wash on hot a few times to reach their maximum absorbency. I hope this helps.

I just bought the whole gro baby diapering system, I read so many awesome reviews for this diaper and I was very confident in them. I’m having a problem though, I’ve been using them for 2 days now and they keep leaking! I know I must be doing something wrong but I’ve tried so hard to make sure that it’s on tight and the inner soaker is center and everything. My daughter is 8 weeks but well over 8 pounds, is it possible that she needs to grow into them still? Or am I doing something wrong?? Could someone please help me out? Maybe give me some pointers?

Curious: How do these compare with bumgenius 3.0 one-size?

They will work, but you can always do what I do when trying out a new cloth diaper. I only but one or two of them so I can be sure that I like them before I make the commitment. A lot of hard work obviously went into the design of these gro baby diapers and I think you will have no problem. The overnight doublers work great to keep baby dry until the morning and my baby has been crawling all around with no leaking problems. Good luck, I know you won’t want to go back to disposables again!!

This is exactly what I was looking for. A review with an older infant. I’ve seen a lot of reviews for Gro Baby on babies who are several weeks or around 6 months, but my guy is 9 months and is a hefty 9 months at that! He is also very, very active and I need a system that can handle a large amount of movement without leaking. He also sleeps through the night (10-12 hours) and I need something that can handle that amount of liquid overnight. These seem to fit my needs.

We are very green with everything else in our lives, so it kills me every time we buy another pack of disposables (though, we are purchasing Seventh Generation, but still). My husband is a little freaked at the investment (“What if they don’t work?”, he asks), but I keep reminding him that my instincts are right 99.9% of the time and right now they are telling me that I should have been cloth diapering from the start!

I am glad to see that you read my post. I did notice the instructions on the packaging and forgot to mention in my post how clear and concise they were! They are perfect for someone new to diapering. I do like the fact that the packaging is in recyclable cardboard, but I feel that if you order more than 1 they do not need all need the packaging. Great product though!

Wonderful feedback and your little guy is adorable! I did want to comment regarding your concerns with our packaging. We try to be environmentally responsible in all respects. With our packaging we chose designed a product that not only displays product usage information, but is also functional for our retailers to display our products. We chose to use only paperboard (no plastic packaging!) that is recyclable and that the customer can recycle right along with their cereal boxes!!
