  1. Share your favourite funky fluff

    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?

  3. 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.

    The short answer: a resounding ...

    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
