About Us

I'm Katy and I have two little ones: Jamie, born in November 2015 and Abigail, born in March 2019. I discovered the natural parenting movement gradually with my first through discovering things which worked for us as a family. I've used slings with both children and have been very grateful for the support and advice we've been given to find a great solution for us.

We've been very interested in the eco side of life and parenting, which led to my love of cloth nappies. Abi has been a cloth bum baby since birth, and I used night nappies on the bigger one through later years too. I'm passionate about spreading the message to anyone who will listen!

We've learned a lot through trial and error and discovering the best solutions for us. I've been involved in some great discussion groups recently regarding the future of cloth nappies and look forward to helping more parents take the step to reducing their use of disposables - but I'm a big believer in small steps to success. Remember that it doesn't have to be all or nothing, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with taking your time to find what works.

I met Caroline at the end of 2019 when I came to try some slings and discovered that there were cloth nappy friends to be made too. I started helping out unofficially at the drop in library sessions soon after.

We reconnected when Seaside Parenting started back on Zoom sessions and I was asked if I would like to provide support as a ‘nappy enthusiast’ once we were able to run in person sessions again. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity (because anyone who knows me also knows that I love talking about nappies to anyone that will listen!) and once we got chatting, we realised that we both had a similar dream - and here we are!
