Cloth Diapering 101 Workshop

* Are you curious about cloth diapering but don't know where to start? 
* Confused by all the different terms - Prefolds, all-in-ones, pocket diapers, doublers, and covers?
* Been trying to decide whether you want to cloth diaper or not?

Then this is the workshop for you!  :-)

Did you know that cloth diapering can save you about $1,000 per year of diapering (plus an extra $1500 - $3000 or so because cloth diapered babies tend to potty train earlier.) That could be as much as $5000 per child.  Not to mention keeping about 2.5 tons of trash out of the landfill! This 45-minute class plus Q&A, taught by Alegre of Green and Greener, will arm you with all you need to know to create your baby's diaper wardrobe.

Topics to be covered include:
-explanation of all the different types of diapers
-discussion of the uses, benefits, and drawbacks of all the types
-explanation about how to prepare, wash, and care for cloth diapering items
-discussion about the logistics of cloth diapering
-demonstration about how to use all the types of diapers

This class will be held...
Sunday July 15, 2012 from 1-2pm 
at A Mother's Haven in Encino. 

Space is limited, so register below now!
