Indian Cotton or Chinese Cotton?

Well we tried both.   We found the differences in the quality was huge!  As we offer a 2 child guarantee our products have to go the distance.  Our diapers also get used in diapering services, hospitals and day care centres so you can imagine the work they have to do! 

Chinese prefolds  These are marketed in the same way as an Indian Prefold and indeed may look the same.  However do not be fooled.  Continue reading

My wife and I had our fist baby almost 10 years ago now, a beautiful baby girl we named Emily.  Back then we had never heard of re-usable cloth diapers, I’m not talking about the Terry Towelling squares that our parents put us in, obviously we’d heard about those, but nobody used those anymore.

More Potty Training Tips!!

One thing I will suggest with Potty Training is don’t rush!  To be honest at 18 months to potty train is really early and the danger of potty training too early is your little one may revert back to diapers.  Having said that little ones train at different ages so here are a few signs to look out for and then go for it.  It may take a few attempts, but never push and if your littlie starts getting frustrated leave it a couple of weeks and then try again.  Many little ones when they hit the 2 year (or around that stage), they show an instant sign of wanting to potty train – showing an interest when you go to the toilet, or wanting to sit on the toilet or taking their diapers off.  Continue reading
