Blog — organic diapers

I am so excited about our new, organic clothing items!  It didn't seem to make sense to have the words "Diaper Co." on a t-shirt, so we gave it some thought and decided to use the name Wee Folk Apparel for our clothing pieces.  We want to create products that are truly sustainable, incredibly cute, uncompromising in quality, and practical for growing families!  When we started cloth diapering 11 years ago it was difficult to find clothing that fit our baby right.  We created Wee Folk Apparel with cloth diapered babies in mind: separates instead of onesies, pants with roomy bum panels, all made from...

We're 5 days into the Dirty Diaper Laundry Flats & Handwashing Challenge!  We're no strangers to handwashing around here.  In fact, I try to post a picture or tip on our Facebook page every week on "Wash Day Wednesday" when we hand wash and lanolize our wool diaper covers.  We have a photo essay of our wool washing process in THIS POST.  This week has been the first time that I have hand washed almost an entire diaper stash on a daily basis though!   Here is how I have been handling our diaper laundry this week: Throughout the day I...

Today is Day 4 of the DDL Flats & Handwashing Challenge!  The topic today is using flats on the go, which is perfect because we had a lot of errands to run today!   Our cloth-on-the-go bag is not much different this week than it usually is.  Instead of my usual Sherpa Snap-in Diapers, this week I'm taking along flats to pair with my OS Wool Wrap Diaper Covers.  This is what we packed for our outing today: 1 x Wooly Wet Bag 2 x OS Organic Wool Wrap Diaper Covers 3 x Organic Cotton Interlock Flat Diapers 1 x Hemp...
