Happy Heiny cloth pocket diapers are rapidly growing in popularity. They come in dozens of colors and also in many cute prints. The cute prints are one area Happy Heiny excels in. They have a LOT of cute prints available. Happy Heiny cloth pocket diapers also come in a wider variety of sizes than most other brands. You can get a Happy Heiny in premie sizes (called Tiny Heinys) all the way up to custom made sizes for developmentally delayed or incontinent teens.

What I love about Happy Heiny pocket diapers:

* Cute prints

* Easy to use hook and loop Aplix tabs make it super easy to change your baby. Happy Heiny recently added a snap option for their solid color diapers. You can now get them with a row of snaps on top of the hook and loop tape. This keeps little Houdinis from removing their diapers quite so easily.

* Wide range of size from 4 pounds on up. Happy Heiny was founded by Linda Byerline when she was unable to find cloth diapers to fit her own prenie daughter. Byerline was able to document her daughter's improvement when they switched to cloth diapers and the decline in her daughter's health when they switched back to disposables. Byerline says, "It was clear that the chemical offgassing of disposable diapers made her have trouble breathing. Each time we went back to cloth her breathing improved."

* The stay dry microfleece lining is so soft and comfy for babies.

* Hemp Stuffins pocket inserts are really can be made as absorbent as you need them to be just by adding the "ovals" to the pocket. Very easy to stuff and the diaper stays pretty trim even when well stuffed.

* Even cloth diapering novices can figure out how to use a pocket diaper with a minimum of help.

* They retain their resale value better than any brand except for Fuzzi Bunz.

What I don't love about Happy Heiny pocket diapers:

* Some people have trouble with the prints leaking a bit. These are cotton prints with a waterproof backing. Some people never have leaks, others have leaks with the cotton but not the solid colors.

To prevent leaks, be sure you are using an appropriate insert (Happy Heiny does not recommend using a prefold or other insert that is not designed by Happy Heiny). Keep the cute prints for day and use the solids at night to prevent any problems.

Also, make sure you move your baby up to the next size as they grow. A too small diaper can't contain enough liquid fast enough. Be sure to change your baby at least every 2 or 3 hours during the day. No diaper should be expected to keep your baby dry longer than that.

* They are an initial investment and cost more than prefolds and fitteds. However, if you are committed to cloth diapering, pocket diapers are a great way to go. You still save hundreds of dollars over the cost of disposables, they will resell for about half or more of what you paid for them and they should last through 2 or more kids with proper care. If a whoel stash of pocket diapers is out of your reach you can try starting with hald prefolds and half pocket diapers and adding more each month. You can also use a gift registry to let family and friends help with the cost of starting your cloth diaper stash.

* As with any pocket diaper or all in one, Happy Heiny pocket cloth diapers are made with synthetic materials. If you are committed to organics then you'll want to try the Ecobaby organic one size diapers with wool covers.
