All You Need To Know About Stripping
I’m thrilled to be back writing another guest blog post for Emily! If you didn’t get a chance to read the last one on wash routine basics, I suggest you check it out prior to reading this one. This post is going to focus on the concept of doing a mineral strip on your diapers […]
Read MoreCloth Diaper Wash Routine
I have been cloth diapering for a few years now, and running The Diaper Shop for about a year and a half. But there is one topic that still makes me slightly hesitant; washing cloth diapers. Why? I’m not sure. But I knew it was time to address the topic on the blog so I […]
Read MoreOvernight 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 MoreThe Second Pregnancy
There’s something extra special about the first pregnancy. You look forward to all of the milestones. When someone asks how far along you are, you can remember the week AND the day. You research all of the baby products and then get to make a registry. Taking time to spend on yourself is priority. It’s […]
Read MoreHow Do you Keep a Toddler Happy on a Car Trip?
Originally I was going to write this blog about packing up for vacation with a two year old. But there is something about travelling that has me way more curious now. How do you keep a toddler (or kids in general) happy on a car trip? Or a plane ride? Or a train? I was […]
Read MoreCloth 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. […]
