I’m working with a local mama who loves fluff to try and help other local mamas in need get cloth diapers. We have our first class today so I won’t be around much. Unfortunately, the mamas who registered is down to about three but they are pregnant and in need of help when baby arrives. We had about 10 initially interested but once they found out that we wanted to meet with them to talk about basic care of their fluff, how to use the different styles, and that they could not sell the donated diapers…. well, several were no longer interested.
Sort of a bummer on that.
BUT! I’m excited to get this started. I’m a little nervous too. I don’t know why… probably because I haven’t led a meeting or taught a group anything since before Rissa was born.
If there were local mamas offering cloth diapering classes and donations, would you participate? Have you participated in anything like this before?

It can be so hard to organize a cloth diaper 101 session. Keep at it and it will pay off! Spreading the fluffy love is so important.

Thanks! We sorta let it be pretty informal - answering questions as we went along. It seemed to go well though!

That sucks that so many dropped out. If there was something like that I would have started cloth diapering my son sooner! Having someone to answer questions and give advice would have been great! Thankfully I have a good friend who CDs and have found some great FB groups :)

I wish there were a class like this in my area! I can't believe they turned down the opportunity and donations to help them get started!
