Hello world!

Well,  I’ve jumped in and got our blog up and running!
So…. welcome to Little Comfort’s Blog.
I hope we start up some nice discussions about the use of reusable nappies, cloth nappies or diapers, as called in the U.S.
We are based in Ireland, and we currently are the only Irish brand of reusable nappies.

Just to give you a bit of a background as to how Little Comfort came about. I will try and make it as short as possible.
While pregnant the thought of reusable nappies crossed my mind. All I got was “are you mad”, so I put it in the back of my mind, but at the same time I did a bit of research. Baby arrived, nappy overflow, cash being thrown into the bin (when there wasn’t much around in the first place!), literally.  I thought, “no way jose”. I said to my Husband, we are using reusable nappies, this is ridiculous. So I started researching again, different brands, buying one of this, one of that. Before I knew it, I was critical of every nappy I purchased, however I got hooked and simply loved using reusable nappies. I thought “I can sew, and they are not difficult to make”.

Before I knew it, my daughter had a stash of nappies, designed by me and I loved them!

Next thought came along…. hmmmmm, no Irish brand? hmmmmmmm…. I see opportunity here to fill in the gap. So I did. I must say it was the most difficult project I have ever set out to do,  escpecially with a small child.  It was a very long and windy road (over a year) before I launched Little Comfort. With the great help of my Husband of course, which I could not have done any of this without his support.

Within the first year, we were finalists for nappy of the year in 2009, we were on TV 3 times with RTE 1 (Ireland’s main TV channel). You can actually see our appearances if you visit our website, www.littlecomfort.com

We have been so busy that we are struggling to keep up with demand. Thanks to the TV appearances we raised the awareness about reusable nappies in general. Most of the Irish population was not aware that they existed, how cool, funky and easy to use they are. 

So here I am, in our second year and delighted to see how things are going, and finally getting round to setting up this blog!
