Any Parent

Cloth diaper or not, every parent could use another children’s book. Amanda Jessup’s book, Counting Cloth, offers an adorable story of a eco-conscious family’s day. This book showcases babies in cloth diapers, babies recycling, baby’s taking a nap, and the entire journey to represent her family, and maybe yours. Counting Cloth is self-published and available on Amazon around the world. Hard copies are available.

Aspiring Cloth Diaper Parent

A Book on Cloth Diapering – yes, there are thousands of free resources to learn how to cloth diaper, but nothing is as easy as the Cloth Diaper Book when you want to look up an acronym in the middle of the night, reference a fold, or get the 411 on a cloth diaper question. This book, written by Bailey the host of the Cloth Diaper Podcast, is the must-have cloth diaper handbook to support any family on their cloth diaper journey.

Any Cloth Diaper Parent

I will always struggle with giving gift advice because giving gifts is something I’m not great at myself, but if I was a mom who cloth diapered and I wanted a Christmas gift it would likely be one of the following:

1. A Cloth Diaper I Can’t Afford

Because if I could afford it, I would own it. Casually ask your cloth diaper friend which diaper they would love to own, but they just can’t justify dropping the cash on such a product.

Here’s a few ideas for you.

- Americans visit My Sweet Pickles
Lilly & Frank Fitted Diaper
Twinkie Tush Fitted Diaper
Noble Bebe Preflat
The Blythe Life Creations Fixed Flat

A new and trendy cloth diaper that maybe they can afford, but they just won’t buy for themselves. Here’s a few brands making waves that you should definitely check out for your cloth diaper parent.

2. Cloth Diaper Service

A cloth diaper service is the option to have someone else wash and launder cloth diapers. This is a fantastic gift idea for a new parent who might cautious about the extra work or protecting her time as they adjust to new motherhood. This is a fantastic gift idea for a parent returning to work who wants to continue to cloth diaper. This is a fantastic conversation to have with any cloth diaper parent.

Cloth diaper services vary drastically. Some services wash and launder your own diapers, while others provide the diapers. Services vary depending on where you live – google cloth diaper services near me to find a diaper service that serves your area.

3. Cloth Diaper Accessories

Just like the above, cloth diaper parents often swoon about different accessories that would make their life easier, but they just don’t ever buy them.

Diaper Dawg Spray Shield, Collar or Mits – these are a perfect gift for any cloth diaper parent transitioning to solids 0r struggling with poop removal and any feelings of disgust. The Diaper Dawg system is a great way to clean diapers without the mess – you can read the full review of products here.
Wool – whether it’s wool pants for the baby or a diaper cover, wool is an expensive luxury of cloth diapering. Wool helps bridge the gap into overnight cloth diapering by offering a bullet proof solution. A few popular wool brands to consider:
- HumBird Wool
- Sloomb Wool (also available at select cloth diaper retailers)
- Disana Wool (also available at select retailers)
A New, bigger, and better Diaper Bag
A Wet Bag – this is a great low cost option to consider for a cloth diaper parent. Many of us can never have enough wet bags and with the plethora of adorable prints and options it’s easy to choose something that will help us fall in love.
- I loved the Planet Wise Hanging Wet Bag available from Canadian retailer, Lagoon Baby or American retailer, My Sweet Pickles.

4. Cloth Diaper Pride

Let the cloth diaper parent in your life show off their love of cloth diapering with these cloth diaper shirts, cloth diaper bags, and other cloth diaper merchandise. Many cloth diaper brands offer a limited selection of products including shirts, mugs and stickers. Here’s a few of my favourite items.

5. A Gift Certificate with their Favourite Small Business

When in doubt, the gift of a gift card to their favourite cloth diaper small business can be incredible choice this holiday season for a cloth diaper parent. They’ll love getting to pick out a diaper they’ve had their eye, or some small trinkets that make their cloth diaper life easy – because maybe they really need new Boingo’s and their favourite detergent, along with some wipe solution. These things aren’t sexy, but they are incredibly handy items for the cloth diaper parent.
