More information will follow as this event becomes organized. Our location will be in the lower level of Peterborough Square.
Like last year’s diaper change, we will join together in one place to advocate the use of cloth diapers. Each diaper changing couple (a mom or dad & baby, for example) will use a recognized name brand diaper to change baby into at the same time. For the Peterborough area, our time is 12pm EDST!
In order to participate, parents and caregivers will need to sign up with their contact information, brand of diapers, and confirm their baby is less than 34″ long. A registration form can be completed at the event.
Are you using disposable diapers? You can still participate! Andria will supply a number of cloth diaper packages for $10 which will include one diaper cover and 3 prefold inserts to use and take home from the event.

Currently, there are two casual playgroups hosted biweekly by Andria. Diapering Darlings and Toddlers in Training.
On alternating Tuesdays there is Diapering Darlings for the infants. This group has been running since May 2010 and the members who have attended are not always cloth diaper users. Three moms came along to chat with current cloth diapering parents – they had the gear, but had not used the cloth diapers yet! Each of those moms felt more confidence after attending and started using their cloth diapers on baby. Success!
On alternating Fridays, Toddlers in Training brings together the children from about 16 months old and up for a playdate. These children, may or may not be showing signs of potty training. There was unusal interest created by three little girls when only one potty was presented to the group – the novelty of trying out someone else’s potty and taking turns resulted in some surprised looks from toddlers and moms alike. Success!
Contact Andria to find out about the next Diapering Darlings or Toddlers in Training playgroup. These events are often posted on the Facebook site and on the Peterborough Moms Group calendar (membership is required and free!).
Do you want to have a Real Diaper Circle in your area? Andria will visit your playgroup to facilitate a meeting on cloth diapers within Peterborough and Kawartha Lakes counties.
Our Diapering Darlings need us…
The Real Diaper Association was created by the leading manufacturers and retailers of cloth diapers in 2007. This non-profit association has started advocating for cloth diapers. The idea is local groups and individuals are supported by the RDA and educated, advised, and organized about cloth diaper trends in their local community.
Peterborough is lucky to have so many parents using cloth diapers. Everywhere I go, I hear of another family who is washing cloth diapers at home. Some families are doing cloth part time and others commit full time. It is impressive to get aquainted with these families, moms and dads alike! The frequent reasons local parents start with cloth or switch to cloth is long term cost, waste management, and health.
Parents who have chosen to use cloth diapers and have become successful in their diapering and laundry methods can be valuable assets to others in our cloth diaper neighbourhood. Promoting those successes can be key in pushing forward a cloth diaper movement in Peterborough.
If you have started cloth diapers and have become frustrated with their fit, style, or laundry routine, let others know so the wealth of tips and support can come back to you.
Here is a Cloth Diaper’s User Guide to help you get started on more research beyond what Changing Ways Diaper Service is already offering.
