My Prize Giveaway:
I received this sweet Greenchild Creations flannel fitted cloth diaper to review. This was my first experience with a flannel diaper and I am happy to report that it's no different than using cotton, hemp, bamboo or fleece. The material is really lightweight which makes for a trim fit.

The construction of this diaper is what really sets it apart. It has leg gussets, an open-ended pocket for inserts and an extra long flap that doubles over in front for added wetness protection. It doesn't have snaps or a hook/loop closure so it requires pins or a snappi like a prefold. I was nervous about using the pins but soon discovered I was worried about nothing because they are not like regular safety pins, these diaper pins have guards on them.

 
I first put little man in his froggie flannel cloth diaper an hour before bedtime at 6 pm because there is no greater measure of cloth diaper performance than the overnight test. I used a bamboo insert that I already had in my stash. He woke up around midnight for his feeding and I changed the diaper. The insert was soaked, but the flannel material was not. His bum was dry and I suspect he would have slept through the night if he didn't need to eat. I also like to use it during the day for naptime because it keeps his bum dry and warm. It is a versatile little diaper!
