Haute Mommy: May 2011

I'm so excited because cloth diapers are a hot (haute) topic right now... everyone seems to be talking about them. Last year CBS correspondent, Natali Morris, was challenged to try cloth diapers for 30 days after an Eye on Parenting segment about cloth diapers vs. disposable diapers. Now six months later she's a convert and has even canceled her diaper service to wash them herself. Many celebrities are choosing to cloth diaper their children too and there are also some exciting things happening in the cloth diaper community as well!

On April 23rd, the Great Cloth Diaper Change was a simultaneous cloth diaper changing event that took place at over 400 locations worldwide to put cloth diapers in the record books. So far the unofficial record is 6363 participants and the official Guinness Book of World Records(tm) total is expected to be announced any day now. I co-hosted and organized the San Diego location with Heather McNamara, the executive director of the Real Diaper Association. Our location had 35 babies changed and the three San Diego County locations combined had 128 babies changed. My son just barely made it to the Great Cloth Diaper Change, he turns 2 this week and we are in full-swing potty training now!

Win your choice of a reversible Sprout Change cloth diaper or training pants from The Willow Store plus a goody bag from our local GCDC event! Two more winners will also win a goody bag from our local GCDC event! (All three goody bags include a set of cloth wipes from Sprout Change/The Willow Store too)
