The Happy Heinys Micro Mini Stages were developed for several reasons. The most important is because when a baby is born prematurely 99% of the time one of the treatments needed will have an adverse affect that can harm the baby. Owner Linda Byerline shares her experience as the parent of a preemie, “My daughter Sarah was saved by the ventilator and I am grateful that was available for her, but she also has CLD-Chronic Lung Disease due to it. When we started using cloth diapers,she had a 50% decrease in her need for medicine and hospitalizations.The disposable diapers off-gassed and she was breathing the chemicals into her lungs.”
Most preemies are born with sensitive skin, so with the Happy Heinys super soft fleece it helps to prevent skin tears. Giving the mom an option to pick up her baby’s cloth diapers and take them home to wash can help decrease some of the postpartum depression that some mom’s of preemies experience.
Each size of the Happy Heinys Micro Mini Stages weigh the same.Therefore, it does not impact the nurse’s job of calculating baby’s output. Many nurses are loving the Happy Heinys Mini Stages since they are so simple for them to use.
Retailers are doing their customers a service when they make available specialty products that help the preemie and their parents.
Linda Byerline would love to hear from others who have had bad experiences with disposable diapers. Email your story to
