Baby Cotton Bottoms was born out of a love of cloth diapering and babywearing dating back even before the conception of our daughter, Aurora. I helped to cloth diaper my sister over 25 years ago with flats, pins, and harsh rubber pants, and when I learned what had become of cloth diapers and baby carriers in the last decade or so I was elated! I came home from work one day over three years ago to tell my husband that our future children were going to use these amazing new things I learned about on the Internet. My first diaper purchase arrived at our house when I was only two months pregnant, and I was hooked. About four months after our daughter was born, my husband, who took sole responsibility of diaper laundry at the time, randomly said to me, “Honey, this is probably one of the best ideas you’ve had.” And he was the poop washer! These diapers were soft, cozy, clean, environmentally responsible, and cute, and it just felt good to put such a nice diaper on our cherished little one every time we changed her. And how many people actually have fun buying or changing disposable diapers? None, I tell you! Honestly, I didn’t find the love of soft, cloth baby carriers until my daughter was about six months old. We had purchased a pouch, but it didn’t fit quite right, and we had a hand-me-down ring sling and typical front-pack carrier, but none of them really made me happy at first. Aurora really needed to be held a lot, and I was becoming truly exhausted. I continued my online research and found The Babywearer. There I learned of the vast world of carriers. There were so many options and beautiful things to try! I soon found a number of carriers that I absolutely couldn’t live without. Today my daughter and I both are avid babywearers. She always carries her dolls in one of her child-size mei tais or slings. It makes my heart sing when a tired mother finds a carrier that is really comfortable and she and baby can settle in and she gets her arms back! Everyone’s happy! I am so happy to turn my love of happy and healthy baby beginnings into a business where our customers share our values and we meet so many wonderful people and adorable babies. I take genuine pride in being able help parents make happy choices for their babies. It comforts my soul to know how many babies are being cherished, and that I am responsible for the tiniest part of that.
