Shandell over at Baby Roo on Etsy nurtures her love of sewing by creating cloth diapers, toy slings for dolls and bears and nursing accessories for attached mothers. She was kind enough to send me an assortment of products from her shop so we could sample the best of everything!
First up is a one-size pocket diaper that Shandell made from duck-print PUL. It has a soft microfleece inner, crossover snaps on the waist and three snap settings on the rise to adjust as baby grows. With one standard microfiber insert, the absorbency is average and works well for when Susanna wets just once. It’s easy to boost this diaper by adding an additional insert, as long as it’s not too bulky. Baby Roo pockets are designed to fit from about 7 pounds to 26 pounds, depending on how your child is built. This is a super cute diaper with a nice slim fit and comfortably encased leg and back elastics! Compared to some of our other pockets, it seems to run a little small so the size range to me is very accurate (many on the market are advertised to fit up to 35 or 40 pounds). So how does it fit on a newborn? Scroll down to see our Baby Roo pocket on 9-pound Erik!
I was super glad to try out the bamboo nursing pads since Erik has arrived and my milk is in! Shandell makes hers with super soft bamboo and a waterproof PUL backing to contain leaks. I think the guitar print on mine is really cute and the side that goes against my skin is blue minky! My pads have worked to hold in leaks even at night when Erik will go 3 hours or more without nursing. They aren’t too thin or too thick; perfect for wearing at home or while sleeping. I can wear them out with a sweater, but they do show through a little with a knit top or lightweight blouse. At just $3.00 a pair, Baby Roo pads are a great bargain and if you buy 3 or more pairs Shandell offers 10% off with the coupon code “breastisbest.”
Now look at this neat wet bag which has two separate zippered pockets and an attached handle. Don’t you love the damask fabric? So chic! I like that you can store items separately because there are two compartments. Baby Roo wet bags start at just $12.00 and go up from there. Again, I think these are really great prices for the quality workmanship and boutique fabrics.
And I saved one of the cutest things for last! Catherine was thrilled to use this little pink doll sling for her baby Mary. She said “Look, mama, I can carry my child just like you!” The sling is completely adjustable, so Catherine can loosen it to fit her big plush teddy bear inside. I love toys like this that aren’t just cute and fun, but teach useful lessons and help children to feel a little bit “grown up.”
What we received is just a small taste of what’s available at Baby Roo. Everything Shandell makes is gorgeous! I absolutely love the fabrics she digs up for her creations!

I love the tie dye pocket diaper and the guitar nursing pads. Such great prints!
I loved the photo of the tie dye diaper from the review – beautiful!
Have one little one and another one the way. These items would be great!
I love WAHM products because we, as moms, know the ins and outs of our children and better know their needs than large corporations and while we are doing that we allow for another mom to be able to stay at home with her kids while she helps support her family!
WHAM products are the best because they are made by people who truly love what they make
I am new to cloth diapering and Love that their are so many WHAM’s out their and love supporting local (by local I mean US) businesses and people putting their skills to work to make amazing products!! The best think about all your reviews is you give a honest opinion and provide all the information necessary to make a decision as to rather this diaper is going to work or not.
I loved everything about the review! I’m haven’t started cloth diapering yet, and won’t be for another month or so when little guy arrives, but I love reading all of your reviews and learning about all the different companies and products! Thank you!
I am loving the nursing pads.

I know they put the same attention into a product for my child as they would for their own child.
WAHM products are great bc its their way of being able to help support their family and being able to stay with their children. I love being able to help them with that and I think its great that they are blessed with the talent to be able to do it

One thing I love about WAHM’s is the fact that they are small businesses. They are supporting their families and generally have wonderful customer service. Also I love that you can personalize a lot more with WAHMS
I love, love, love seeing your little cuties in your reviews and I like supporting WAHMs and most of the time they know just what moms need that some companies may not know.
Thank you so much Ashley!

WAHM products are so great because they are amazing quality products made with love! AND it supports a real family, not some corporate person who already makes a lot of money.

Those nursing pads sounds like a dream come true! Love the idea of the minky on one side! WAHM products are awesome!
I like that she offers more than just diapers! I love WAHM because most of the time they are such high quality that they just can’t compare to mass produced diapers!

I love the way the diaper fits
I like the wet bag. The price is pretty stinkin’ awesome… and it’s got 2 compartments!
I like the nursing pads in your review. I’ve tried several and haven’t found any that are perfect. I still wonder if they wash well. I’d love to win to see!
I really like WAHM products because they are made by someone doing what I do everyday. I love knowing my money is supporting a family. I guess it supports many families when we buy from big companies(?), but buying from a WAHM is on a personal level. All the money goes to them….
I love how trim these diapers are!
The review was helpful because I got to find another person who makes nursing pads. I am switching over to reusable nursing pads and I am stocking up before my little one gets here.
I would love to try the bamboo nursing pads. They look so soft and comfy!
So cute!
Cute Cute Cute diapers!!!
I love buying from WAHMs because I know I am supporting something I love: Children being raised and nurtured by their parents in the home rather than by daycare providers. As a former daycare teacher, I know that children can receive exceptional care in daycares, but there’s nothing like staying at home with mom!
Customer service! I love that I’m talking directly to a person who is invested in their product.
I love the price of the nursing pads, and they look sooo soft, also the rainbow chevron print is adorable!
I love the creativity of WAHM diapers
I love supporting local mama’s, and WAHM products are awesome because you know where they came from, you get personalized service, and you know they’ve tested their products on their one LO’s so they MUST be great
I love all the unique fabrics!
So glad this dipe is gender neutral!
I love buying from WAHM businesses so I can support other women like me!
I’m new to cloth and WAHM. I can’t wait to learn and experience more. I love the community feel though!!
