Overnight Solutions
I can clearly remember the first night Bubs leaked through his diaper at night. Being new to the cloth diapering world, I was confused about why it had happened. After some contemplation I realized he just didn’t have enough absorbency in his diapers. So what are some overnight solutions to increase absorbency? Add More Inserts […]
Read MoreWhich Potty Pant Should I Choose?
The hours I spent researching which style of potty pants I should buy was ridiculous. And when I saw the cost, I was sceptical whether or not they were worth it. I wasn’t interested in disposable training pants. We hadn’t used disposable diapers, why would I start dishing out money for disposable now? I asked […]
Read MoreBreastfeeding: A tale of a new baby and a new mom
Breastfeeding: A tale of a new baby and a new mom. A few weeks ago it was World Breastfeeding Week. I mentioned a bit of our experience on social media, but thought I would expand on it here.

Read MoreA Tour of The Diaper Shop
I’ve been running The Diaper Shop out of my home now for about 6 months (give or take a few weeks). Although it has been challenging at times, it has been so rewarding. I love meeting other moms (I have yet to meet a cloth diapering dad through this business) and chatting about their journey. […]
Read MoreLearning to Use Prefolds
Prefolds can seem intimidating. How do you origami this piece of material into a diaper? But once you get the hang of it, they are actually a really practical way to diaper. It even became one of my favourite diapering systems. Although prefolds do have a learning curve, they are not as intimidating as they may […]
Read MoreMultipurpose Wet Bags
Wet bags. That’s a term that didn’t enter my vocabulary until I started cloth diapering. But I wish I could tell everyone how wonderful wet bags are! If you have one, you know how fantastic they are. Their purpose goes far beyond the cloth diapering world. If you don’t know what a wet bag is. […]
