ABC Kids 2016 {Social Media} Cloth Diaper Round Up

This post may contain affiliate links. 

It was only last year, that my cloth diaper guru showed us the excitement and hype that is ABC Kids Expo. And in 2016, with the role of Facebook Live, Instagram, and other social media platforms, industry leading conventions such as these become accessible to the every day people, like me, and you. So bring on the social media stalking of ABC Kids 2016.

For the past week, I followed closely in anticipation of new products, prints, and colours at ABC Kids 2016; especially those products that pertained to my favourite cloth diaper manufacturers and retailers. As a long time baby gear junkie, I’m always excited, and rarely know what to expect. This week was tons of fun. Between the never ending give aways, and the constant surprises, you never knew what to expect. So, when it comes to this weeks slew of cloth diaper announcements, I think it’s time for another cloth diaper roundup.

Here’s what you might have missed at ABC Kids 2016  in the world of Cloth Diapers (this is  a summary of what major brands shared on their social media channels in the past week)

  2. Thirsties Newborn AIO Review - Simply Mom Bailey says:
    October 15, 2020 at 11:36 am

    […] I don’t own much in the way of Thirsties. The OS NAIO (Natural All in One) is by far one of my favourite diapers. However, because my favourite local retailer doesn’t carry Thirsties, I don’t tend to accumulate them as quickly as I might. I was pretty excited to order matching bums for my kids, but quickly disappointed when I realized the newborn wasn’t natural fibre… Luckily, this meant I was able to order it AGAIN in the new releases from ABC Kids.
