Ö my - super cloth for baby!

Remember Omaïki, the company with the fabulous nursing pads? Today I want to tell you about Annalies' experiences with their cloth diapers and cloths.

Actually, Omaïki started out with cloth diapers and branched out from there. They make an All-in-one, a pocket diaper, a line of signature diapers (time limited designs), a fitted diaper, swim diapers, training pants and a newborn version; really, there's something for every stage and preference!

"The innovative Omaïki product line is designed, developed and produced in Canada.  The products offer a wide range of advantages which will meet the expectations of the most demanding young fathers and mothers:  Omaïki products are environmentally friendly in terms of the manufacturing process and in the way they are used; they are economical, sustainable and comfortable because they are made from a soft material that has both aesthetic and contemporary appeal."

Annalies has been using an All-in-one diaper (AIÖ). I love the colour - purple is my favourite! Aside from that, however, this is one of the first diapers I pick when the diapers are clean. It's easy to put on and get off - there's a little tag in the front centre that makes grabbing the diaper (and not the baby) super easy (I imagine this would be very handy on a baby boy!).  The diaper has one insert, attached at one end, and another insert you can snap in. In this way you can customize the absorbency you need. Also, because the one insert is completely removable and the other one is loose at one end, the diaper washes and dries like a dream. We've had great success using this diaper - no leaking. The AIÖ diaper fits Annalies well; she's a bit on the round side (over 17 pounds at 5 months) and there's still lots of room for adjustment in the waist using the velcro tabs - which can overlap if needed.. The diaper is adjustable in rise via snaps at the front, and they stay snapped up when I'm putting the diaper on (unlike some of the diapers we have whose snaps come loose as I'm trying to fasten the diaper). The legs are elastisized, but still comfortably fit around Annalies' chubby thighs. This diaper is trimmer than some other AIO's we've tried, and this means that she can wear some of her (my) favourite outfits a little easier and more often!

Ariane, the president of Omaïki, also sent along some of their Bamboo washcloths. These are regular sized washcloths - not the silly, never big enough, baby washcloths! Super soft and fluffy, they are great to use on baby, or anyone else really! The texture is great for cleaning sticky baby bums. And, they've stayed soft and fluffy, even though they've been through the wash many times. The cloths are made from 70% bamboo rayon and 30% organic cotton.
