“Babies with Hip Dysplasia in a spica cast will have to wear two diapers: one inside the cast and one around the outside. Going through 2 diapers at every change is expensive and wasteful. These reusable diapers eliminate A LOT of waste and are VERY cute...completing an outfit better than pampers ever could.”
