Ruthie O'Connel
I was keen to start with cloth on my new born in 2011, but could find nothing at all online or in person to guide me. I finally booked a trial kit from earth mother when my son was 8 weeks, and off we went from there! My reasons were environmental mainly- I remember wondering why people were eager to get different prints, I couldn't see why people would care about how nappies looked! That attitude lasted about a month... I fell in love with different prints and types, not to mention how effective they were. Even though my boy is well out of nappies now, I feel it's important to try and make cloth mainstream and dispel the myths surrounding cloth. The benefits for the baby and the environment are enormous, and I am happy to volunteer for CNLI.
