Nursing Pads


This was such a simple project. With baby soon to make his arrival, I knew I would be needing some nursing pads and I didn't want to have to pay over & over for disposables.

I tried cloth ones the last go round but was left unsatisfied as they just didn't do their job for me. I did a quick search for a tutorial and found what looked like a great alternative!

These have 3 layers of flannel & one more layer of fleece, which seems much more substantial than what I had used previously. I'll let you know how they work out!

It probably took a couple of hours from beginning to end with 2 toddlers running around so, SUPER SIMPLE. I used an old receiving blanket and an old fleece blanket so I didn't even have to buy supplies. What a GREAT way to save some money!

I found the tutorial here.

UPDATE: They are very absorbent & incredibly comfortable! I am a pleased Momma!
