Are you eco-conscious and considering an Edmonton diaper service? Hi! I am a maternity and newborn photographer based in Edmonton, Alberta and I have put both my kids in cloth diapers when they were younger. I love gathering resources to help parents and their supporting village decide on how to navigate putting their babies in cloth diapers.
There are many benefits to hiring a diaper service for your cloth diapers — no need to deal with extra laundry, no need to worry about upfront diaper costs, and trying to recoup the diaper costs by selling afterwards. Newborn diapers are a lot smaller and are outgrown very fast.
Currently, there is only one Edmonton diaper service. There are many places to purchase cloth diapers — Facebook marketplace (for used), Dri-line, and various baby stores in Edmonton & surrounding areas.
In Andrea Olson’s Go Diaper Free for Elimination Communication book, she recommends putting babies in cloth diapers to help them recognize the feeling of being wet. Anecdotally, children in cloth diapers do go through potty training earlier. Both my kids were fully trained by 2.5 years old.
Edmonton Diaper Service
Happy Nappy
Happy Nappy has been around in Edmonton, Alberta since 1993. It is the Edmonton diaper service name that would get mentioned in Edmonton cloth diapering groups on Facebook as well as in person mom-groups. They offer premium cloth diapers to fit your baby at every stage. Happy Nappy is one of the best Edmonton diaper service options if you want to cloth diapers during the newborn stage! Newborns go through at least 10 to 20 diapers per day. Happy Nappy provides weekly delivery service to your door. They also help with commercial laundering of rented cloth diapers, bibs and cloth wipes. They offer a trial period by offering a free cancellation period within the first 4 weeks.
Happy Nappy’s diapers are moisture-wicking. The insides are lined with organic cotton and hemp for extra absorbency. For anything related to cloth diapering, they’ve got a solution.
An economical alternative to disposable diapers
Free up time from doing laundry! Your extra time gained by not washing cloth diapers can be used to spend quality time with your baby or some well-deserved time to yourself. A baby averages about 3,000 diapers in a year. This means that a Canadian baby would need $730 to $1400 in disposable diapers a year. If you chose the pay upfront with Happy Nappy, you get to save yourself 5%.
Busy Edmonton Moms love Happy Nappy as an Edmonton Cloth Diaper Service
To sum up, many busy moms love how helpful and reliable the cloth diapers are. It ends up being more economical than using disposable diapers. Many choose not to buy newborn cloth diapers and hire Happy Nappy instead before deciding if they want to continue the service with the bigger sized cloth diapers.
