When I asked Clothe In Love for recommendations on nursing pads, I was pointed to the Bumby Booby Backups that were originally hidden on the site. I've used them for nearly 3 weeks now and am happy to post my honest review 😄

Disclaimer: Before using them, I was using disposable nursing pads, so I have no basis of comparison between reusables. But am happy with my experience anyway!

At $27.50 for a set of 4/2 pairs, this isn't the cheapest option for nursing pads. But, you'll be getting bang for your buck since they are so luxe and comfortable! The inner layer (that goes against your skin) is cotton, while the outer layer is merino wool. This makes it super absorbent and breathable at the same time, with the cotton working to soak up all the excess letdown, while the wool allows your skin to breathe, even when the pads are worn for an entire day. What a world of difference from the disposable nursing pads I'd been using - I tried at least 3 brands of disposables and all made me itch non-stop!

I described nursing to a non-mummy friend as "incontinence from your boobs" 😭 But with these Booby Backups, I don't feel the leaks at allI! In fact, wearing them is even more comfortable than going bra-less as I don't have to deal with soppy shirts anymore. The only danger is not knowing when I have letdown, so my milk is somewhat "wasted", so you are warned! 😂

Bumby Abrazo Wool Cover - great for newbies to night diapering!

Disclaimer: Received a good discount on this as part of a draw-to-purchase for an honest review.

tl;dr: Easy to use and care for, great as a gift or for someone new to wool

As a first-time mum and also someone who's new to cloth, I was pretty nervous about trying out night diapering. For the longest time, we used disposables at night. It wasn't until we had a few disastrous leaks (read: having to change a screaming bub's clothes, mattress cover and various swaddles in double-time in the dead of night to avoid waking neighbours) that we decided to try night diapering with cloth.

The things I look out for in a night diaper solution are:
- 🌬 breathability (because it's going to be on bub all night)
- ☔ leakproof-ness (for obvious reasons)
- 👌 ease of putting on (because who wants to fiddle around with diapers at the end of a long day of spit-ups, chasing after babies, etc etc)
- 💖 chio-ness (as an added bonus so you wake up happy to see how great your baby looks)

Bumby's Abrazo Wool Cover is all of the above.

I was also worried about caring for wool, as I've had wool sweaters and socks before that got mangled when I machine washed them and hung them to dry above my heater in my cold UK college accommodation. No worries at all on this front:
- 💪 Bumby's wool is sturdy and can withstand machine washing
- 🤩 It feels silky and lovely on the skin even when only washed weekly
- 🐑 Lanolisation was fuss-free with Bumby's detailed video tutorial and their emulsified lanolin solution
- 👏 The velcro is super high quality and doesn't damage the wool or other items in the wash

The only downside of the wool cover I can think of is that the leg cuffs are a bit awkward to fit on my extremely chubby baby with a big belly. She looks a little better in bloomers 😝 Still, doesn't affect function so it's all good.

Used 1.0 in the last. Lasted a long time. After 1.5 years, my child pees heavily and tried other cloth diapers. Kept away for 1.5 years and I could still use it again!

These are good to use while traveling.

cleans poo and milk stains very well!

Absolutely love these blankets. They are incredibly soft, generously sized and just the right thickness for Singapore weather. I initially bought 1 to try and immediately came back to buy more. The prints are of course lovely and artistically very well done.

I am in love with pods(: super convenient to use. The two loops handle is helpful.

This pod is great for days out and to hang over the pram. Spacious and very versatile too. Besides storing nappies I also use it to store my carrier too! Hands down a great accessory to have!

6 balls cut drying cloth diaper laundry (mainwash of about 3-4 days' worth) from 3-4hrs to 3hrs. Also allows large items like bedsheets and towels to dry more evenly. Not noisy while tumbling with laundry. Love it so far!

Always loved mama koala.
Always loved their prints.
Always loved dinosaurs.
This diaper has the most beautiful colours. Its perfect. Really.
