So you’ve gotten over the learning curve of cloth diapering, and you’re loving the fuzzy bum on your new bundle of joy.

When I started working at Cotton Babies, I knew absolutely nothing about cloth diapers, babywearing… really, anything about babies. But it sure didn’t take me long to learn!

But maybe you can’t imagine giving up the career you’ve worked so hard for or you can’t afford to stay at home with your child. Whatever your situation, you are now facing the work-world once again. This isn’t an easy task, emotions aside. Whether you’re returning to work after a few weeks, months, or
