My son and daughter in law used them for their first child who is now 17 months. They used them for most of the first year and now are using throw aways. There is a trend to go back to cloth diapers with the snaps and they are very expensive in the stores to buy so making them would be a great idea. There is also a trend to use soakers over the diapers so I made several of them for my young grandson while they were using cloth.
