"Changing Diapers: The Hip Mom's Guide To Modern Cloth Diapering" Review, Coupon Code & Giveaway!!!

I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to read the new book, Changing Diapers: The Hip Mom’s Guide to Modern Cloth Diapering by Kelly Wels! This new book is a guide to all things cloth diapering! Kelly Wels is not only a cloth diapering mom herself, but she is also a cloth diapering advocate and the founder and former CEO of DiaperShops.com and KellysCloset.com. Changing Diapers is an amazing resource for any parents – whether you already cloth diaper your little on or you are still considering cloth diapering as an option. 

Changing Diapers was such a fun and informative book to read and I am so excited that I get to share a bit about it with my readers! The book really draws you in with the fun and friendly tone that Kelly writes with. The flow of the book is so natural and clearly written that you almost don’t realize that you are learning SO much about the world of cloth diapers! I desperately wish that this book had been available when I was first doing my research on cloth diapers! As hubby and I made the switch to cloth diapers when little man was 4 months old, I often felt lost in a sea of internet sites and mystery terms like PUL, AIO and OS! I wasn’t sure where to start, what I needed to start with and how much I needed! So, I compiled all my research into an Excel sheet (yes, I’m a nerd like that), compared differences and from there, we made our best guess at what would work for us. Luckily, we picked a good match for little man, but I really wish I would have had Kelly’s book as a resource for learning all the ins and outs of the cloth diapering world!

There is so much information out there that many pregnant or new moms might become overwhelmed before they even start. Some simply don’t have that much time to devote to doing so much research.  Changing Diapers would be the perfect gift for them! I love that you can buy an actual, physical book. Sometimes it is nice to have something to hold and go back to for a reference. Kelly does a great job of taking her readers step by step through each area of cloth diapering in a way that is easy to understand.  

In Changing Diapers: The Hip Mom’s Guide to Modern Cloth Diapering, Kelly has created an excellent and definitive guide to answer your cloth diapering questions. She tackles all the topics and addresses issues like why you should choose cloth diapers over disposables, she explains the cost saving benefits to cloth diapers, the reasons why cloth diapering is an eco-friendly choice and she even sheds some light on many of the misconceptions about cloth diapers. Each chapter is a full of easy to read, helpful tidbits that cover all the basics – the different types of cloth diapers and accessories, how to choose the right brand for your little one (no matter what their age), diapering more than one baby at a time, the common cloth diapering dilemmas or issues you may come up against, how to get a wash routine that is right for you and more!  Kelly even has a special chapter just for dads! There is also a very helpful "Extras" section at the back of the book that has a chart to help you stay organized and recommends quantities of some of the necessities. It also includes some great tips for "packing the fluffy cloth diaper bag”! 

Changing Diapers is full of cute and colorful pictures of babies in cloth diapers and it is jam-packed with helpful, practical information for parents with little ones. I think that this is definitely a must-have book for parents who are considering cloth diapers. Do you know someone who is pregnant and open to the idea of cloth diapers? (This would make a wonderful addition to any baby shower gift!) Maybe you have a friend who would like to make the switch from disposables, but doesn't know where to start. Even if you already have little ones in fluffy cloth diapers, I think that this would be an excellent resource for any parent to have!
