Learn about Cloth Diapers in Victoria, BC

Ready to get started with cloth diapering your little one? It's modern, it's easy and it's even fun (with all the adorable prints and diapers out there) & we're here to help you get started on the right foot!

We hold free cloth diapering workshops once a month at our eco-friendly baby and children storefront in Victoria, BC and our workshop is Tuesday, Feb. 19, 6:30-8pm. 

If you're interested to learn more about cloth diapers, how to wash cloth diapers(it's easy!), how to store diapers and what cloth diapers will work best for your family and your baby we encourage you to come out and see your cloth diapering options in person. 

We will cover newborn diapering all the way to overnight solutions for toddlers so you will be armed with information and quality options. We will also lay out the costs for getting started and compare different brands and styles.

If the group is interested, we can give a tutorial on the baby wearing gear options including ErgoBaby Carriers, Organic Wraps, Mei Tais and Ring Slings at the end of the night too.

If you're not able to make our workshop night or would prefer a one to one consult, we can set it up for any Saturday after 11:30am or you can easily pop into the store anytime too. Our staff is all knowledgeable about cloth diapers and use them with their own children too.
