We made it into the record books!

Following up on all the buzz from last month, we now have a more updated list of participants from the Great Cloth Diaper Change that happened on April 23rd this year. This event brought a great deal of media attention and raised much-needed fund for the Real Diaper Association the 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to helping families find and use reusable cloth diapers. Many of our Everything Birth representatives hosted or co-hosted their own local diaper change parties.

We want to thank everyone who participated in The Great Cloth Diaper Change 2011. We met some great ladies and some adorable babies. New friendships were made. Networking ties were created that will bring even further unity and strength to the cloth diapering community. It was a huge success.

We are very proud of all of our reps, they put a lot of work into this event and it paid off. I wanted to add some extra praise to Katherine Loichinger of Lowcountry Diaper Parties because she made it on the news as an Everything Birth representative.  Congratulations to Kristen Eggers, Kristine M Fountaine and  Brandalyn Byler for getting cloth diapering some great local press. Even the owner of Everything Birth took to her community to participate in The Great Cloth Diaper Change and got some good press for cloth diapering in doing so.
