Play & Learn about Cloth Diapering with The Nappy Nook Cloth Diaper Library

Hi parents, I am a mom of a 2 year old toddler and I have been hosting play sessions, playgroups, swim clubs, talks, parties and other private events for a growing community of parents with young children aged 0-6 years old who meet regularly to play, socialise and have fun together.

Check out @tinyplayclub on Instagram, where I share reels and snippets of our community events and play ideas that the kids loved.

Based on interest from the Tiny Play Club community, I am very excited to introduce the Play & Learn about series of talks, masterclasses and workshops for the whole family on different topics that families are interested to learn about, while our children enjoy unstructured free play at my home that has been child-proofed and set up for play. I will be collaborating with professionals, experts and experienced parents to educate us on many topics.

I am so excited to share that Tiny Play Club is collaborating with The Nappy Nook Cloth Diaper Library and May, one of the mums in our community to host a cloth diapering workshop in December. The workshop will be taught by Eunice, one of the co-founders of Nappy Nook Cloth Diaper Library who has cloth diapered her first child from 5 months and her second child from birth. Both of her children are now potty trained. May will be sharing about her experience cloth diapering her daughter from 5 months to 2 years old.

This inclusive workshop is open to TPC families (see below on how to join us) no matter your current experience or knowledge in cloth diapering. Everyone is welcome to join if you are already cloth diapering your children, intending to cloth diaper or even if you know very little beyond disposable diapers (like me!) and are curious to learn more about a different diapering system. Parents attending without children and expectant mums are also welcome to join.

In this highly interactive and hands-on cloth diapering workshop, Eunice and May will be sharing about these topics:

• Different cloth diaper systems (flats, pockets, pull-ups, AIO, AI2, fitteds, night, newborn)
• Parts of a cloth diaper
• Cloth diapers vs disposable diapers
• Pros and cons of cloth diapering
• Full-time vs part-time cloth diapering
• Myths about cloth diapers
• Going out and travelling with cloth diapers
• Cloth diaper wash routine
• Pre-loved cloth diapers
• Cloth diapers in infant care and preschool
• How Eunice transitioned both her children (now 3 and 6 years old) from cloth diapers to the potty

and parents will learn practical tips such as these and more:

• How to get started with cloth diapers at different ages
• How to transition from disposable diapers to cloth diapers (for the same or subsequent child)
• How to fit cloth diapers
• How and where to buy and rent cloth diapers
• How many cloth diapers to buy
• How often to change cloth diapers
• How to prevent diaper leaks
• How to wash cloth diapers at newborn, pre-solids, post-solids stages
• What settings on your washing machine to use
• Cloth diaper and accessories (e.g. wet bags, laundry detergent etc) recommendations
• How to be successful with cloth diapers when others are not supportive
• Troubleshooting present cloth diapering solutions that are no longer working out

Adult-accompanied event

This is a adult-accompanied community event for both children and caregivers to socialise - strictly no drop-offs!

Cancellation policy

Eunice and May earn a fixed amount per workshop that they host because they have spent time and effort to come all the way down to share their knowledge, expertise and experience to the community.

As this cost is split among families who have booked to attend, tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to another family. Alternatively, families are welcome to attend a future Play & Learn about event without extra cost as a one-off make-up (subject to space capacity limits, please reach out to me privately to discuss).

About the hosts

Eunice and Beth started The Nappy Nook Cloth Diaper Library (Singapore) Facebook group in 2020 as a cloth diaper rental platform for parents who are keen to try out cloth diapering, but are wary of making an investment that might not work out. They carry a wide selection of diaper systems for newborns, toddlers and young children and a range of brands available to rent for a low cost.

Through this initiative, they hope to make cloth diapering more accessible to families through very affordable rental fees that also includes sanitising, packing and courier fees (see price list below for 3 weeks' rental), educating families and supporting them in their cloth diapering journey.

May is a mum of a 23 month old girl who has been cloth diapering her daughter from 5 months because she was super chunky baby and needed XL diapers to accommodate her thighs.

An advocate of cloth diapering, May believes that she has saved quite a lot of money last year cloth diapering her daughter and credits part of her cloth diapering success to her husband being a champion diaper changer.

May is also a designer of hand knitting patterns. She is currently also homeschooling her toddler. In her spare time, she bakes a lot of sourdough in a Rofco oven.

⁣Notes:

This is a private event only for the Tiny Play Club community. To join the community, please WhatsApp me at 87266246 to introduce yourself and your child(ren). There are no membership fees to join the community. As this is an in-person community, I want to make sure that I personally know every attending family to keep the community safe.

• Please WhatsApp me at 87266246 before booking tickets if you have not attended the play sessions before, or tickets will be automatically cancelled.
• These play sessions are adult accompanied. Parents, grandparents and/or helpers are welcome.
• A maximum of 2 adult caregivers per family so as not to crowd the play space
• *If attending with your child, please bring healthy food items such as fresh or cooked food for the kids to share during snack time. The food will be placed on a low table for the kids to serve themselves. I kindly request parents not to bring puffs or packaged snacks as my child has a weakness towards these addictive snacks and those snacks will affect his appetite for meals and worsen his picky eating :-D
• Feel free to WhatsApp me at 87266246 if you’d like to join us or if you have any questions!
