I have an article about cloth diapering in this month’s Mothering magazine. It’s 5,000 words long. It’s sort of impossible to imagine how anyone could have 5,000 words to say about cloth diapering. But I did. And I actually could have written 5,000 more. I don’t even know that much about cloth diapers. I must be a cloth diaper freak or fanatic or obsessive or something. But I’m not. Well, not really. Well, okay, maybe I am. Well, okay, maybe I wasn’t before I started researching the article (which Peggy asked me to write.... read more

If you have friends who are using cloth diapers, invite yourself over for a crash course and a chat. If you’re a cloth diaper pioneer (and chances are you will be, since plastic diaper companies have been advertising and brainwashing the American public so effectively that only something like five percent of American moms and dads are using cloth these days), Internet groups, like the cloth diaper forums on Mothering.com, are a great place to go to ask questions and learn. More conventional sites (like BabyZone.com) also have good cloth diaper... read more

Author Ray Bradbury pointed out, chillingly, "You don't need to burn books to destroy a culture -- just get people to stop reading them." Similarly, you don't need to actually ban nursing to decrease the incidence of breastfeeding -- just make it more and more difficult to do.   The ways our culture makes breastfeeding ever more difficult range from the insidiously subtle (hospitals' goody-bag full of formula) to the outrageously overt (Bill Maher's infamous rant equating breastfeeding -- "a private thing" -- with "farting or masturbating or... read more

Hello, lovely mamas. Welcome to A la Mama’s latest giveaway. This diaper, from the Maine Diaper Company, is a Hugga Buns One-Size AIO diaper which comes with a one-size snap-in microfiber insert. Color: Sprout. I’m also giving away the most divine prefold: a Hugga Buns bamboo prefold with rainbow serging. It’s so unbelievably soft, with a fleecy texture…if it were a little bigger I’d decide to use it as my very own security blanket–which would make me look quite eccentric in public, but I think it would be worth it. The Maine Diaper Company... read more

From Valerie: “Hi Candace! I just recieved the Huggabunz bamboo prefold! It is BEAUTIFUL and so soft! My son is 5 months old, and he is a pretty large boy (18 pounds and VERY long) so he is almost too big for it, but it will make a fantastic doubler and I have a baby on the way that will get a lot of use out of it. I got some pics of him in it, snappi’d on him the best I could. Here are some of the photos I got. Thanks again for everything. I plan on buying some of these prefolds because they feel sooo good!” I just want to hug him and squeeze him!... read more
