New to Cloth Diapering? May 28, 2008

Cloth diaper trial packages allow families to try out a variety of diapers before deciding on what type of cloth diapering system works best for their family.  It is a great way to get your feet wet - without a major investment.   

At Diaper Daisy, we carry a large variety of cloth diaper trial packages.

Cloth Diapers with a Zipper Pouch! April 25, 2008

Introducing the Baby Kanga One Size Pocket Cloth Diaper! 

Hip.  Modern.  One Size Fits All!

This innovative pouch cloth diaper features a waterproof PUL outer with a microfleece inner to keep baby dry, with a zippered pouch opening on the outside where you add an absorbent insert/stuffer.

Fits from approximately 8lbs to 35lbs.

The pouch is located on the outside of the diaper to make insert removal clean and easy. Just unzip and shake it over your diaper pail to get the insert out. The zipper closure makes stuffing easy and keeps the insert inside where it belongs.

Snaps allow for 3 rise settings and a wide range of waist adjustments to fit a variety of shapes and sizes.

We recommend using the JamTots one-size hemp stuffer with Baby Kangas. 

Visit our shop for more information on how to get your very own Baby Kanga!

* easy wrapping instructions enclosed

What are moms saying about Sleepy Wrap?

I came down the morning after it came to find my husband wearing it working on the computer.

I really love the SleepyWrap.

I have such a needy baby that we needed this to save my sanity and comfort my newborn.Now I can do my housework, use the computer, and do my knitting, all while Rosemary is contentedly snuggled against me.

It’s much easier to maneuver in crowded public places with a Sleepywrap rather than the stroller.

Your baby wants to be carried in a Sleepy Wrap too!

has it been that long? March 27, 2008

I am sorry my dear blog readers.

I am a terrible blogger.  Forgive me.

Enough bashing of self.  And on to store updates!

We have made it through our second goodmama stocking.  Whew.  It was a lot of fun - and you mamas are super!  We had a few bumps - but overall it went really well.  I honestly look forward to the day when I can buy some and actually keep the store stocked with them.  That was my original intent.

We do have a few new things coming.

Let’s see.  Baby Kanga’s are a one-size pocket that have a cool little zipper for keeping the insert in it’s place.  These will be coming within the next few weeks - along with a hemp one-size “stuffer”.

Have you signed up for our newsletter yet?  You should!!!  You will ALWAYS be in the loop!  Never miss a beat!  Check out the homepage for a link.

Hmm.  We have decided to put our BabyLegs on sale.  You should really get some while you can.  While we love them, we are no longer going to carry them in the shop.

What else? Oh.  We stocked some new Bum Ware and a sweet mama from New York bought them all!  Look for more in April.

I am thinking that is it.  Hope you enjoyed the read.

Until next time.

what is going on? February 22, 2008

Not a lot.

We stocked the goodmamas. They sold out in something like 5 minutes.

Never fear. We have another order in process and hopefully you mamas that missed this stocking will have a chance the next time.

I don’t know if you noticed or not. We have a new sign up box for a newsletter. If you register there - you will get all of the latest news on products and happenings at www.diaperdaisy.com. And you will be the first to know when the next batch of goodmamas are stocked in the store. How cool is that!

We promise to never, ever share your info with weirdos!

If you have been looking around the site and noticed Thirsties products running low. Take a peek again. We have more.

Baby Legs are $2 off. We are no longer going to carry them in the shop. Enjoy the savings. Get some for a friend!

Our sale section has some really great deals and drastically reduced prices. Great gift ideas.

We have discounted Just Ducky Baby AIOs and Plush Pockets. A 10% discount will apply in your cart. Give one a try.

Now is a great time to try a wool cover. We have reduced the price of our Llamajama soakers to only $19.99. Yes. You read it right. A great deal.

Oh. Saved the best for last. Monkey Foot Designs wetbags are back in-stock. Available in 3 sizes and even better fabrics. Some have handles. Handy.

Sneak Peek into the future. Monkey Foot Designs nursing covers, Baby Beehinds (fitteds, covers and AIOs), Bum Ware new colors and So Simple covers. That’s enough for now. Don’t you think?

Be a Goodmama! February 14, 2008

Finally! The one-size well-tested goodmama^TM diaper. Serged with shiny decorative thread, two rows of front snaps, fold down rise for smaller babies, hip snaps to prevent wing droop and keep that rise snapped down, and perfect fit.

Outer is a plush oatmeal-y organic cotton/bamboo velour. Core is absorbent organic cotton/hemp fleece, lining is another layer of soft and silky organic cotton/bamboo velour.

Snap-in soaker is organic cotton/bamboo velour + 2 layers organic cotton/hemp fleece sewn together to another soaker of the same construction. All together this soft and squishy diaper is nine layers thick, but constructed to wash clean and dry quickly. No doublers necessary!

Fits 10-35+ pounds. This is a fitted diaper, and requires a cover.

Treat yourself. Treat your baby! Be a good mama!

These will be here soon!

Keep Your Baby Close - In Style January 23, 2008

Just in the Shop!

SlingEZee slings.

The Design Collection features fashionable fabrics you’ll love to wrap yourself in! Who says

wearing your baby means you have to compromise on style.

SlingEZee is the perfect choice for wearing your baby. With SlingEZee, keep in contact with your baby for great bonding while being hands-free! Design differences mean you can wear your baby long-term, in comfort. Padding along the shoulder and rails provide softness where you need it, easing your load and protecting your baby from chafing. Because padded slings cannot be one-size-fits all, SlingEZee comes in 5 sizes. The right fit is essential! SlingEZee is a breastfeeding mother’s favorite tool and the fussy baby’s place of comfort.

The many benefits of baby wearing are well worth the effort! A copy of the SlingEZee Instructional DVD is included with every SlingEZee. With some pointers, you’ll be on your way to a nurturing style of parenting.

The SlingEZee Doll Sling is the perfect gift for a new big brother or sister. This sling offers the same great features that the original SlingEZee has, so your child’s dolls and stuffed animals can be worn in comfort.

No More Touching Inserts! December 29, 2007

Just Ducky Baby has created the most unique diaper. And we just got some in the shop!

It is a One-Size diaper. This makes it a great choice for families with more than one child in cloth diapers. It is also a great investment because your child will be able to wear the same diapers for many, many months without having to purchase the next size up as your child grows. Cool.

It is also a Pocket Diaper. A pocket diaper is wonderful because it can be customized with the absorbency that YOUR baby needs. A pocket diaper is also great because it dries quickly - thanks to the removable inserts.

Now, here is the coolest part. This pocket diaper is sewn at all four sides and has overlapping microfleece panels that open in the center allowing you to stuff this diaper with whatever absorbent material or insert you choose! This design allows the insert to agitate out in the washing machine so you never have to touch icky inserts again!

A size medium Thirsties Microterry Insert will fit this diaper at any size setting.

The Just Ducky Baby One Size Plush Pocket is in-stock and ready to ship. Available in Orange, Pink and Turquoise.
