It’s day two of Free Cloth Diaper Week. Yesterday’s winner of the Flip Stay Dry diaper was Sarah Ann Tielke. She said her most indispensable baby product was: “My husband! And my camera. My daughter is due this Saturday but so far these two have been lifesavers! My husband has been so supportive and helpful and my camera helps me document everything!” We’re continuing the fun today. Same rules as yesterday, we’ll post a question here on the blog, on Facebook and Twitter. We’ll give you an hour to respond. One random winner will be selected from the responses to
The last couple of years has been a wild ride for Cotton Babies and the brands we created. We started out on our product venture with a tiny shipment of diapers that sold out within hours on December 21st, 2005. Since that date, the production lines haven’t stopped and our most popular brand, bumGenius, has gone on to be sold all over the world, winning awards and accolades from media nearly everywhere it goes. In keeping with our long standing tradition of excellence, we have been working on something new for quite some time. I’m not very good at keeping
Wow! What a year it has been for me. Now that I have older kids my life works in school years instead of calendar years, so in another couple weeks I get to count this year as O-V-E-R. This year has included: Children in four different schools, none of which have their own transportation. We had a preschool, a grade school, and two different high schools. This meant not only a lot of driving but also a lot of getting in and out of the car since start/end times don’t always line up. A new baby, and all the loveliness
Are you considering cloth diapers? Good! It makes financial sense. It makes environmental sense. Let’s talk about why. Cloth diapers are cheaper to use than disposables. Disposable diapers cost around $0.19 – $0.45 per diaper change. That varies based on the type of disposable diaper you buy. If you buy cheap store brand diapers, you may spend less. If you buy higher end name brand diapers, you could spend more. Every single disposable diaper you buy and use is thrown in a landfill. How much money are you wasting? Replace that image of a disposable diaper fluttering in the breeze
Econobum was created to give you the option of a high quality, less expensive diapering system. The one-size diaper cover is simple, easily adjustable and will fit most babies from birth through potty training. The one-size prefold is six layers of high quality, super absorbent Indian cotton – unlike any other prefold available. Fold lines are sewn into the prefold so you know exactly where to fold it to get the best fit for your baby. We’ve kept it easy so you don’t have to worry about the details. Best of all, Econobum starts at only $11.95. What a great way
Early Wednesday morning we welcomed Molly to our family. Baby number 8 for us, she is rewriting the rules of the household already. She is our smallest baby at 6lbs, 12oz. My labor with her was one of my longer and harder labors, but we are recovering nicely and she is a champion sucker and has taken easily to breastfeeding. Now all of my children have sensitive skin, so hers was really no surprise, except for how fast it showed itself. Her second night was spent in the NICU as we tried to discern the nature of a heart arrhythmia.
Ok…so I know I’m a little late posting this…that whole “launching Flip & Econobum” thing has been taking up quite a bit of time around here. But better late than never…right? This video is just so awesome. Amber Smirnow took a picture of her little guy, Alexander, every single day the first year of his life. If that isn’t dedication, I don’t know what is!!! Then she set it to a really great song (that totally gets stuck in your head and has me bopping along at my desk) and here it is...so if you haven’t seen it yet, you
I read an awesome blog post last night from a Cotton Babies customer. Autumn Beck runs “All About Cloth Diapers“. Here is a quote from what she wrote here: Okay, I’ve always been honest with y’all so I won’t hold back. When I first started cloth diapering I strongly disliked all things made by Cotton Babies. I know, terrible, isn’t it?! You want to know what’s worse? I had never even tried one of their products. I completely made some crazy assumption that it was “big business” with no family behind it. Um…I couldn’t have been more wrong. Cotton
