This time, a pregnant mama wants to know the low-down on cloth diapers.

Q: I’m an expectant mother due in December and I am looking into cloth diapering. Do you know of any brick and mortar stores or local online retailers where I might be able to review the different products? It seems that there are so many different options to choose from online and I would like to see with my own eyes the differences between them. It would be even better if I could find a cloth diapering class in the Miami area.

A: Ohh, the cloth diapers. I will come right out and confess on this one. I researched and researched on cloth diapers before Oliver was born. I bought some supplies online and received others used. Unfortunately, it just hasn’t worked out for me. It is currently my biggest eco-sin. (Yes, there are more.) However, there are plenty of natural & eco-moms in Miami that ARE making it work. Plus, there are some resources that I didn’t know about last year.

Our friends at Baby Posh Garage in Aventura are going to start carrying NEW cloth diapers. Multiple brands will be available to touch & feel…as well as buy. They’ll also be accepting used cloth diapers for consignment. In fact, this Sunday, October 12, 2008 at noon at their Grand Opening party, they’ll have a cloth diaper expert on hand to chat with. (There will be other green experts, as well…check it out.)

Additionally, Kristin Jayd, another local expert on cloth diapering (she’s also the organizer of the upcoming Great Green Family Festival), holds workshops about once a month on the topic in Kendall. There will be one at the end of the month – check her website to register or email her for more information.

We’d love to hear from other cloth diapering parents locally on their thoughts! Comment below!
