Happy Holidays from Northern Baby

Cloth Diapering Four Years Later

I started cloth diapering around this time four years ago. I never imagined my cloth diapering adventure would be as interesting as it has been. I went from not wanting to use cloth diapers, to buying them, and then making them for my little ones and for other babies.

Mama Cloth

If you’re a cloth diapering mom, you’ve probably heard about mama cloth (aka cloth pads) more than once. To a lot of us cloth diapering moms, switching to cloth pads is nothing shocking.

If you cloth diaper for health reasons, then why only care about the health of your child and not your own as well? If you cloth diaper for environmental reasons, then I’m sure you’ve thought about the huge number of disposable pads that go into the landfills. If you cloth diaper for financial reasons, then using cloth will save you money in the long run.

Serged vs. Turned & Top-Stitched Fitted Diapers

Serged or turned and top-stitched (T & T) fitted diapers? Have you ever wondered which one is better? If you’ve been cloth diapering for a long time, and have tried many different styles of diapers, you can probably come up with a fairly long list of pros and cons for each type of diaper. Below is what I came up with. [ Read more ]

Angry Bird Pumpkin

Angry Bird Pumpkin

Our 4-year-old has a slight obsession with Angry Birds, so we decided to make an Angry Bird (yellow bird) pumpkin this past Halloween.

Recycled Wool Diaper Covers

In recent years, wool has become a very popular choice for diaper covers. Many of the wool diaper covers used today are made from recycled/upcycled wool. A lot of people prefer recycled wool covers because of the cuteness and/or the price. Others, love the fact that these covers are made out of something that already exists.
