The Crunchy Mum

Hi and welcome to The Crunchy Mum blog. Since becoming a parent, my life has changed completely. I found myself doing things I never thought I could and taking on new interests I never imagine I would. In this blog I’ll be sharing my learnings and experiences with using cloth nappies, “wearing” your baby and breastfeeding. I hope to generate interest in this and get your feedback and thoughts to learn from each other.

If you'd like to get to know or find out more about me, drop by my personal blog livingserenely.blogspot.com

    So we're enjoying a few more longer stretches of sunny days in Perth. I'm just aching for warmer weather to let my son's bum stand out in all its fluffy glory.
    .
    Any chance some of you might care to share some photos of your favourite flunky fluff just to get us looking forward to summer?     I would just love to see what is out there.

    Here's one of mine...

    If you’re dabbled in using cloth nappies on your babies, chances are you might have heard of or even considered using menstrual cloth pads (also known as ‘mama cloth’) for yourself.I first came across it when I first started reading up on cloth nappies. The gorgeous fabrics and designs were the biggest thing that drew me to the idea...

    5 ways to build up a cloth nappy stash on a low budget

    As a big cloth nappy advocate, I frequently get asked questions by people considering using cloth on their babies. One big FAQ I get asked about cloth nappies is about getting around the cost.

    Off the rack, modern cloth nappies cost around $20-$40 a piece. For a full time user, a dozen pieces to start with can cost around $300-$400.

    A thumbs up to the cloth diapering dads

    Recently while I was at a children’s party while I was chatting to some fellow cloth-diapering mums, the subject of their hubbies’ perspective of the whole cloth diapering business came up. I was curious to compare notes and funny anecdotes about the dads’ involvement in using cloth nappies and probe the subject further.

    The main question was: were the hubbies as involved or enthusiastic in using cloth nappies as much as they (the mums) were?

    The short answer: a resounding ...

    A word on wool

    If you've dabbled into cloth nappying, chances are you would have taken on, considered or at least come across wool soakers/covers.

    I myself jumped onboard the wool train some time ago and love them for these top three reasons:
    .
    1. Wool fibre is naturally absorbent but is also able to ‘wick’ or pull away moisture and release it into the air
      .
    2. The natural lanolin in wool creates a natural waterproof barrier that also neutralises the
