Last day to enter!

This is the last day... Have you entered?  Did you tak the time to call a few Hospitals and ask if they use cloth?  Did you try to make the world a little greener?


Leaving this open until Midnight Pacific Time!  

A HUGE thanks to our amazing sponsors for their support and donations.  


So, where will we go from here?  I would like to think that this blog and the FB page would continue to grow.  I know that there are lots of hospitals that have been contacted.  There will be follow ups and information to be shared.  I really hope you are all excited about this and the movement will continue on.  
Happy diapering,
Vilate

What else can you do?

We are so very excited about all the calls and visits that are being made!  You guys are amazing.  Think of all those hospitals that now know that this is something that people are interested in.  Maybe we are planting a seed of thought at least! 
You guys ROCK!

The small writing!
*note: Cloth Diapers should be world wide, and so I (Vilate) am opening this world wide!  If the others won't ship out of the US and Canada... I will!  So let's cover the world with cloth!  :)   
*note 2: No one else has access to the administration of this blog right now... I am letting anyone even if they have been affiliated with the facebook page enter. 

Why?

I would love to see some comments!  
Why do you choose to CD (cloth diaper)
Why do you want to see CD's in the hospitals?

Getting started!

It was brought to our attention that Facebook doesn't allow giveaways anymore.  Thus a blog!  :) 

We are excited to start this anyway... more exposure right?

Please bear with us as we work out the kinks ok?  

Thank you so much!

Amanda said...

I just got off the phone with Methodist Hospital (the hospital that I am choosing for my baby due in Oct) and asked if they offer cloth diapers as an option to babies. THEY DO! However, they only offer prefolds and I would need to bring in my own covers. They said that they used to offer cloth diapers and covers but they had so much trouble with leakage that they stopped. I think if they could find a system that worked for them they may be persuaded to switch back ;) Contact Info: 6500 Excelsior Blvd St. Louis Park, MN 55426 (952)993-5202 - 25 points
