The Parenting By Nature Story...

Parenting By Nature is an online baby store located north of the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. We are a Canadian family run business that was established in 2004 just before the birth of our first child. Having a baby changes us all, and while pregnant, the search for cloth diapers and other natural, chemical-free and healthy products to pamper our new little one with began. We found this quest to be quite daunting, and thought to ourselves that finding products that ensured the preservation of a beautiful world for our children and a positive future for their health should not be this difficult. After all, isn't this every parent's wish for their child?

Introducing Modern Cloth Diapers...

Cloth diapers are not what they used to be! Cloth diapers are making a comeback as many parents are tired of seeing their hard earned dollars thrown away with their disposable diapers. As well, parents today are becoming more aware of both the ecological and chemical overload disposable diapers present to our environment and our children. In response to the growing demand for cloth diapers and cloth diaper products, we have one of the widest selection of styles and fabrics to choose from in Canada, to suit your individual family's needs.

Wrapping your new baby in cloth diapers can be an enjoyable experience. Try not to let the misconceptions about plastic or rubber pants, diaper pins and leaky cloth diapers prevent you from at least giving cloth diapers a try. Just think...there has to be a reason why using cloth diapers is quickly becoming the "in" thing to do. Even celebrities are using cloth diapers! We have cloth diapers for parents on a tight budget, as well as everything the modern parent requires to make cloth diapering easy, leak-free and fun. Not every parent is choosing cloth diapers for monetary reasons. Modern parents are choosing cloth diapers because they are just as easy to use as disposables and way more FUN! That's right! Choosing cloth diapers for your baby's layette can be just as much fun as decorating the nursery!

Just take a look at modern cloth diapers and tell us that you wouldn't want to swaddle your newborn in soft-as-a-cloud cotton or sherpa rather than crunchy bleached plastic? With cloth diapers such as Fuzzi Bunz, BerryPlush and Happy Heiny's, cloth diapering today couldn't be easier. We promise you that with the right cloth diapers you will have no more leaks or messy clean-ups than you would with disposables. Modern cloth diapers have all the convenience of disposables and so much more. Babies truly are healthier in cloth diapers. Your choice to use a product without polymer gels, artificial fragrances or dioxins is one your baby will thank you for.

While many parents will spend hours researching their options in cloth diapers, you can rest assured that all of our cloth diapers are of the highest quality available and are made to last. All of our cloth diapers and cloth diaper covers are vinyl and PVC-free and will withstand the many hot washings required for home care. We carry both high-quality, economical cloth diapers, such as our diaper service prefolds - used and loved by diaper services and moms across Canada - as well as cloth diapers that have all the convenience of disposables for parents that still aren't too sure. With modern devices such as the Snappi Fastener for cloth diapers and the Mini Shower Hand Held Bidet for spraying your diapers clean, diaper pins, wet diaper pails and toilet dunking are things of the past. Learn more about modern cloth diapers today and how far we've come with our KISS Guide to Cloth Diapering - using cloth diapers CAN be easy!
