The Great Cloth Diaper Change


I crossed something off of my Bucket List already! 


I have never cloth diapered- we considered it when I was pregnant, but we received so many disposable diapers and then my husband dropped the bomb that he would never want to change a cloth diaper. So we didn’t move forward with it. BUT, that didn’t stop me from participating in the Great Cloth Diaper Change at Babymoon Inn this past weekend! A friend let me borrow a cloth diaper and we found our place!
Where's Waldo... Can you find me?

Basically, it is an attempt to break the world record of cloth diapers changed at the same time AROUND THE WORLD. It is also an event to raise awareness about cloth diapering and of course, give families a time to relax, visit, and play some games. Along with bubbles for the toddlers! We can’t forget the bubbles. They had Paleta’s Betty at the event too- YUM!!! Here is Pip enjoying her ice cream. 
We got chocolate...duh.
 They also had little gift boxes for each of us that contained a diaper cover, a bib, some HappyBaby treats and had samples of their new bath salts. Heck yeah!


We took our places at about 10:30 am in the parking lot behind the birth center. They had laid down soft “grass” and had us each bring a towel to change baby on. First we sang some rhymes and played with babies (while we finished our ice cream). Then we took a picture with the babies all in their diapers, and waited for the horns to tell us to GO, at exactly 11am. We changed our babies into their cloth diapers, and took another picture of all the babies in cloth diapers!




Looks like she loves them!

All of the freshly changed babies!
Afterwards, there was more visiting, temporary tattoos (cool), and a raffle that gave away diaper rash cream, homemade blankets, baby food starter kits, a cooler bag, etc. No, I didn’t win. It's ok, I never win.

It was so much fun, and we plan on doing it next year too! Join me if you would like to! 

And of course, I will be waiting on my certificate that says I broke a world record!
