Share the Love now shipping diapers to families in need. #sharethelove

Here at Cotton Babies we have a lot of goals. Sure, some of them are business minded, but many revolve around finding new ways to help parents and families. One of the overriding themes of Cotton Babies is that we believe in building bridges, not walls. We believe that every family, every parent, every baby is different. We believe that you (and all your lovely differences) deserve to be treated with respect. Therefore, our staff and products assume nothing about you…. and in the process of providing more families with what they need, we have made the cloth diapering world

Change 3 Things / bumGenius 4.0 Cloth Diaper Giveaway
April 12, 2011 3:16 am | by

Last weekend marked another new milestone for our Change 3 Things Facebook page. Since we began tracking cloth diaper changes on March 3, 2011, together we have changed more than 500,000 cloth diapers; that more than HALF A MILLION cloth diapers changed in a few weeks’ time! Also this weekend, we passed the number that represents the potentially prevented waste equivalent to more than 300 babies in disposable diapers for a year. To celebrate, today we are giving away prize packs that each include a bumGenius 4.0 cloth diaper, a Change 3 Things t-shirt, silicone band and 25 Change 3

NEW Green Toys For Spring!
April 8, 2011 4:56 am | by

Just in time for spring activities and Easter baskets, we have some great new items from Green Toys for your family. Green toys are a favorite at my house. I was surprised at the quality and durability of these items, knowing they were created from recycled plastic.   Green Toys use recycled milk containers as the main ingredient in creating their toys. They are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable. All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in California, a state

April 5, 2011 5:05 am | by

If you’ve been following the blog recently, you know we’ve been thinking a lot about how to spread the word about cloth diapers to families who may not know cloth diapers are a viable option. Last week, Jenn shared how to diaper your baby when you can’t afford disposable or cloth diapers. To keep with the idea of spreading the word about cloth diapers and sharing the love to families in need, today we’re giving out two Econobum trial packs – one for you to keep and one for a friend.

Almost Free Diapers

Almost Free Diapers

Need diapers for your baby? This article is full of help tips! Almost Free Diapers: how to diaper your baby when you can’t afford disposable or cloth diapers. Diapers are expensive Over the weekend, a customer shared with us this news report from Manhattan’s NY1: High Cost Of Diapers Forces Some Parents Into Risky Practices. It breaks my heart because I personally know what it feels like to have to choose food OR diapers. When my husband and I started Cotton Babies, we were living on $30 a week for groceries plus a WIC check. That certainly wasn’t enough to

Wood beads on this pacifier clip are red, black, and natural with a ladybug crawling off the natural beads. The predominate bead is red

Aden + Anais and GLAMOURMOM
March 25, 2011 5:04 am | by

We have two new products this week, one for mom and one for baby. We’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Aden + Anais issie security blankets since we were first introduced to them a few months back when our Aden + Anais representative visited for our Grand Opening festivities. Perfect for after the swaddling days when your little one still appreciates the comfort of a lovie, but doesn’t need a full-size blanket. Avoid a Mr. Mom style woobie conversation with this conveniently sized, easy to conceal, 16 inch by 16 inch muslin blanket edged with soft satin trim.

Feelin’ fine in just a few minutes time
March 23, 2011 5:00 am | by

A while back, we asked for “Real Mom Talk” topics and one mom suggested ‘how to look your best when you haven’t showered in days.’ When I read it aloud to the Cotton Babies offices, a mom immediately answered “Flat Iron!” While a little tongue-in-cheek, it’s a great topic to discuss. It’s hard to feel your best when you are sleep deprived and your body is recovering from pregnancy and delivery. Add breastfeeding into the mix and it’s easy to feel as if your body is not your own. It’s taken some time, but with boldness, I learned to ask
