Poop 101

baby on the hip is hosting another FREE diapering workshop. Our super-informative staff, Shannon and Nina are ready to dish the dirt on how to handle your baby's #1s and #2s.

Be prepared to flush the following myths right down the toilet:

Myth #1
Cloth diapering is going to transform my bundle of joy into a bundle of rashes. No thank you!
The dirt: Disposable diapers are great at absorbing. But that means your baby will be sitting in its own waste for longer, which means a higher incidence of rashes. Those toxic chemicals don't help either. Cloth diapers means the moment your child gets soiled, the sooner he/she will want to get changed, meaning less rashes.

Myth #2
Cloth diapering will make my friends smell me and my poopy baby from a mile away. What about my social life?!
The dirt: Shannon and Nina can show you the numerous ways to help make cloth diapering fit into your lifestyle and for you to keep your friends. Hint: adorable wet bags in a rainbow of colours.

Myth #3
Cloth diapering is super expensive. How am I going to afford Junior's medical school?
The dirt: Shannon and Nina can show you how disposable diapering is actually pretty darned expensive in comparison. Plus, it often leads to faster toilet training. Sweet!

Myth #4
Cloth diapering is just for earth-loving hippies. No granola, please. I'm sticking to my corn flakes.
The dirt: There's a little hippie in all of us. That's why baby on the hip has turned people from all walks of life into lean, green, parenting machines. With our numerous cloth diapering systems, loving the earth has never been easier. And if you're not down on cloth, we also have a wide assortment of biodegradable disposable diapers to choose from.
