Cloth Diapering a Newborn
How do you start with cloth diapering a newborn? I have no idea. After Bubs was born, I was recovering from a c-section and chose to not use cloth right away. This time I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to use cloth right from the beginning. Maybe even in the hospital. I’m feeling hesitant about […]
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. […]

Read MoreCloth Diapering on an Overnight Trip
A few weeks ago I admitted to you that I had never used cloth diapers on an overnight trip. I’m not sure why using cloth on an overnight trip intimidated me. Maybe because it involves more packing. Which also means there’s more to forget. I decided that I should try using cloth on an overnight trip […]
Read MoreDiscovering the AI2 System
Before I started potty training I discovered a diapering system that I had no intention of loving. But I did. I always knew there must be a purpose to all-in-twos (AI2), but I just couldn’t figure out why I would want to use an AI2 when I could use a pocket, or an all-in-one (AIO). […]
