Changing Mats

At our Great Cloth Diaper Change event-- our changing area will be on the floor in one designated area in one large group following Guinness Record guidelines.

For the comfort of your baby and hygienic reasons-- please bring a blanket, changing mat, or something to put between your baby and the floor during the change.

Thank you!

Logos

I was informed that all participants should not wear clothing that include logos. This may include but is not limited to: clothing brand logos, business logos, and local school logos.

This is from the Guinness Book of World Records. If you happen to be in a photo, and you're wearing a logo that isn't pertaining to The Great Cloth Diaper Change or cloth diapers in general-- that photo cannot be used.

Thank you!

Someone asked me this: Logos such as, "World's Best Grandpa," etc. should be fine. =] We like logos like that!

Giveaway at GCDC

Among some other giveaways-- I would love to announce that a Bamboo Baby AIO cloth diaper with snaps will be raffled at Marquette's Great Cloth Diaper Change on April 23rd!

The Bamboo Baby All-In-One cloth diaper is very soft, trim, super absorbent, and super cute! The Bamboo Baby AIO fits 7-35 pounds and these super soft diapers are made in Canada with a waterproof PUL outer later and a super soft luxurious bamboo Rayon fleece inner (80% bamboo Rayon / 20% Polyester).

The $1 entry for the Bamboo Baby AIO will be donated to The Real Diaper Association and for an additional entry, also $1-- will be donated to The Upper Peninsula Children's Museum. Both are non-profit organizations. =]

A special thank you to Everything Birth, Inc. for donating this fabulous cloth diaper to The Great Cloth Diaper Change. =]

Join the Upper Peninsula Children's Museum at 9:00AM for a FREE Easter egg hunt hosted by the Marquette Jaycees on April 23rd pre-GCDC. Bring a basket for gathering.

Why Cloth Diapers?

Why Cloth Diapers?

Reusable cloth diapers have many benefits, including:

• Environmental: Cloth diapers reduce waste for families with children in diapers by more than 50%.
• Financial: Cloth diapers allow families to save more than $2000 per child.
• Health: Cloth diapers help parents reduce exposure of their babies’ skin and lungs to the chemicals in disposable diapers.
• Cute and comfortable: Parents love putting soft cloth diapers, available in a variety of styles and patterns, on their babies.
• Convenient: Once you’ve purchased your stash, no more weekly trips to the store to purchase more – simply put a load in the laundry!

For more information and facts on cloth diapers visit The Real Diaper Association.

There are also many different types of cloth diapers. Learn more about the different cloth diapering systems on Everything Birth, Inc's Cloth Diapering Info page.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the different types? Learn more about Diaper Parties by Everything Birth and find your local Diaper Parties representative to learn more about hosting a cloth diaper party. This way you can see and touch the different types and learn more in detail about the different systems of cloth. Different systems work for different families; after attending or hosting a diaper party, you will feel confident in your choice and you will avoid the frustration of purchasing the wrong type of system.

What's really nice about these parties is if a Diaper Parties representative cannot get to you, Everything Birth will ship the kit to you and the closest Diaper Parties representative can guide you via phone and internet. How perfect is that?

Diaper Party details will probably answer all of your questions but if you happen to have a question that isn't answered just leave a comment below. =]
