Sweet Pea Newborn Diaper Cover Review

The newborn Sweet Pea diaper cover has been one of my favorites!

It fits babies from 6-12 pounds. There’s one set of rise snaps for a more customized fit. This cover was an excellent fit fully snapped on my newborn son.   At birth he was 8 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches.

Now, at five weeks, he is eleven pounds and a couple of inches longer, the cover fits best unsnapped.

Sweet Pea covers are very affordable at just $9.99 each. They are a wonderful option for families looking to diaper on a budget. Many parents prefer to spend as little as possible on newborn diapering. Some babies are born larger, and outgrow the small diapers quickly. Most babies will fit newborn sizes until only two, maybe three, months of age.

The covers can be worn over prefolds, flats, fitteds, or with your favorite natural fiber insert laid inside. My personal favorite for newborns is to use a preemie prefold, angel folded, unpinned and laid inside the cover. Prefolds and covers are an terrific option for this phase. They are easy to wash, not difficult to use and, best of all, affordable.

I love that this cover has legs gussets. Leakage around the legs can be a problem when diapering a newborn. Some little ones have skinny thighs, and it’s difficult for a diaper to accommodate each newborn’s body type. Leg gussets go a long way to contain messes!

The PUL material of the SweatPea cover feels slightly stretchy. Almost like the nylon of a swimsuit. Some covers can be stiff, thick and not as adjustable. With the give of this cover, combined with the aplix closure, it’s easy to get a trim fit.

I grabbed this cover on a whim. Confession: I was drawn in by the cute pattern and colors! I’m so glad I did. It ended up being the first cover I reach for.

My son has had zero leaks or blowouts in his SweatPea. Yes, a cute diaper is wonderful to have. But, when a diaper can be cute AND dependable, you have a cloth diapering win. I consider the Sweat Pea newborn cover a victory!

    Drea! Would a small Rag insert or a doubler fit in the cover?
    And did you happen to try it over a WAHM newbie fitted? I have a bunch of LFP newborns for next baby. I don’t think my size 0 rags will fit over them!

      Sherri,
      Yes! I have used Raga inserts in the SweetPea cover with success. I usually use a doubler with a liner. In the above photo, Thrie is wearing a MonkeySnuggles fitted under the cover. It worked great with everything I tried underneath. The cover has some good stretch to it. Hope that helps! Sorry for the delayed response!

I used All About Cloth Diapers when my oldest (now 5) developed an allergy around 6mo to disposable diapers. If it weren’t for this site, I would have switched back to disposables because I was having so many issues with fit and cleaning. This site really helped me to understand how to cloth diaper. I have used the big book every year even after my kids potty trained because there are so many amazing deals for everyday household and personal needs! So glad I found this site and the big book!

This is a great place to learn all there is to know about cloth diapers and the care of them. There is no right or wrong way to cloth diaper. All in one's may work best for one child but flats may work best for another child. You will understand how to care for your cloth diapers so they last you. There is a wealth of information on various brands and wool as well. Highly recommend!

All About Cloth Diapers website has a ton of information on cloth diapering. Any issue you may run into they have a post about it on their site. The all about cloth diaper chat group is also full veteran and new to cloth moms. You cant get any better resources when it comes to starting your cloth diaper journey. The owner is Jennifer is so helpful and spent a lot time making sure new parents have the information they need about starting cloth diapering their little one. I absolutely love this site and I'm a member of the group on facebook. You should definitely check out the site!!!
