Even though my son was born 9 pounds 4 ounces he was also 22.5 inches long and boy did he have some skinny legs. Finding a cloth diaper that would fit around his legs was difficult, but luckily in addition to being provided one diaper for review, I had purchased 3 more Lovely Pocket Diapers Newborn Stuff-able AIO to help round out my newborn stash.
Lovely Pocket Diapers is run by Melissa, a work at home mom who wanted to provide an affordable alternative to many of the cloth diapers on the market. LPD has many different styles of cloth diapers for you to choose from all at a great price point, but finding a diaper that will truly fit a newborn without leaking is pretty hard to come by in the world of cloth diapers. Many moms, including myself use pre-folds until their baby is big enough to fit into most pockets and AIOs. Melissa saw a need for a diaper that would help parents cloth diaper from the very beginning and created the Lovely Pocket Diaper Newborn Stuff-able AIO.
The Lovely Pocket Diaper Newborn Stuff-able AIO
The Newborn AIO features 3 rise snaps to allow it to fit a baby sized 5-15lbs, a triple layer insert sewn in, a pocket for additional stuffing, an umbilical snap down, 4 lower waist snaps, and double gusseting to help keep everything contained.
I loved that I could put it on my son as soon as I brought him home from the hospital and not worry about leaks from his tiny little legs or the top of the diaper rubbing his umbilical stump.
4 days old in his first cloth diaper!
PROS:
- I loved the trim fit and the double gussets for helping to contain that runny newborn poop.
- The extra row of snaps underneath the snap down allows you to get a really snug fit around the belly, and the three lower rise snaps allow you to customize the leg fit.
- I liked that in addition to being an AIO diaper I was given the option of stuffing it for added leak protections. (LPD sells newborn inserts for an additional $2.)
- I loved the extra snap in the middle for the umbilical stump. By snapping it together I was able to bring the diaper down low enough that it wouldn’t rub against my son’s sensitive belly button.
- I personally had no leaks in this diaper. I should mention my son has worn these countless number of times including sleeping at night in them, but for some reason has never pooped in them.
Cons:
- Since this is an AIO diaper the liners are sewn down at both ends, but not in the middle. When it would wash, the liner would get twisted and it was hard to get back to lay flat inside the diaper.
- Also, the liner being on the inside took a bit longer to dry. Often times I needed run an extra air dry cycle on my wash or leave it on the line a bit longer than any of my other diapers.
The only way I could see fixing both of these problems would be to only sew it on one end so that it could aggravate out in the wash, dry faster, and allow for ease of laying flat in the diaper.
In my opinion these cons are not nearly enough to keep me from enjoying this diaper as it has worked pretty well for my son for the past 6 weeks and I am still extremely happy to have them in my stash.
He is currently on the last snaps of being able to fit into this diaper, but I will for sure save them for the next baby!

I love the bright green color with yellow snaps. I find it weird that he’s already on the last snap though but looking at the 4 day old picture the leg area doesn’t look tight enough. Could just be the picture but to me it looks like it needs to be tighter.
I think I would have liked these but I wouldn’t have cared for the sewn in liners. I can almost say that I hate microfiber so that’s what turns me off about these. I do however, like that they are sewn inside so no one can make the mistake of placing the microfiber inside on the top of the diaper liner (touching babies skin) since that’s really bad for baby.
These are so cute.
Love it! And those little leggie are so cute too!
Thank you Jenn!
Ohh these have a great fit, very trim. Plus I love the gusset protection! I’ll have to check them out.
They really are super trim!
He looks so cute in his cloth diapers.
These looks like great cloth diapers. I tried to go this way with my son but it just didn’t work for us.
These look great. I really wish I had gotten into cloth diapering when my boys were little.
Teehee, so cute! Love his little packers outfit!
I like the name Lovely Pocket, it’s cute. But not as cute as little Monster Truck!
Too cute!
Oh my gosh, he’s adorable. And so are the diapers!
Oh I love the look with the baby legs!
Their diapers are so cute!
I never thought about the access part to them. I can see why it would take longer to dry.
These look great! I’m currently trying to figure out what I want to purchase for my newborn stash. Will have to put some of these on the list!!
Sounds great!
I have no idea about the world of cloth diapering but your little man is precious and I’m sure he’s super comfortable in cloth!
I didn’t cloth diaper with Shane, but that’s partly because I didn’t know how cute fluff was! &He is so cute, too!
I wish these were around when my kids were newborns. I always had the hardest time finding diapers that fit them from day one and I wasn’t a fan of PF’s.
He is so handsome. Glad you found some diapers that fit and avoided leaks.
He is cute and the diapers are too!
