I was about to buy a few sets of nursing pads online - until I found your website! I finished making two pairs in less than an hour, and will make more if they work well. Thank you so much - you just saved me $17! Thanks for the idea! I was about to buy a few sets of nursing pads online – until I found your website!

One is for dusting only and will not absorb, so be sure if you use it you get the cloths that are for getting wet. Also, there are 2 kinds of microfiber cloths.

It can be used as an inside layer in both the diapers and the nursing pads, but not right against your skin or your babies skin. It should not be used as a burp cloth, baby's skin will be terribly chapped and may crack. I made mine with 2 layers of bamboo fleece and 1 layer of leftover PUL baby print that I had used to make my all-in-two diapers. Microfiber is very drying so do not use it directly against the skin.

I'm really terrified about getting thrush, so I'm changing up your recipe just a little bit. Instead of flannel (I have none on hand anyway) I'll be using thick microfiber. It's only five dollars for 8 big cloths in the automotive department at Walmart, so I still think it's a pretty inexpensive option. Someone recommended it to me for burp cloths, but now I'm thinking they'd make great diaper stuffers and nursing pads, too! Also, I've only just started experimenting with cloth diapers. I'm currently using SunBaby diapers, and I've been so surprised by how dry my son's bottom stays with that thin anti-pill fleece pocket. I think I'll like my nursing pads with that stuff on the skin side, too. Just to make sure I stay dry! Think it will work?

Great idea, though!
