Diaper change comes to Pretoria
The Great Cloth Diaper Change event saw mothers bringing in their babies for a diaper change.
Zita Park in Garsfontein hosted to the 6th annual Great Cloth Diaper Change on Saturday morning.
It was an opportunity for mothers and fathers to bring their young ones for a diaper change.
Event organiser Amor Herbst said Pretorians participated in the event for the first time as it was usually held in Durban and Johannesburg.
“The diaper change is for people who want affordable alternatives to disposable diapers. “
“Next year, we are planning on growing this event here in Pretoria by making mothers aware of it. We also want to beat the world record of 8,459 babies changed at one time around the world which was set a few years ago,” she said.
The 6th Annual The Great Cloth Diaper Change is an international initiative organised with the help of the nonprofit Real Diaper Association, designed to show the world that cloth diapers are a real option for today’s families.
This was the brainchild of Judy Aagard, of Tiny Tots in California.
Aagard said she came up with the idea in an effort to host a family event celebrating Earth Day. The Great Cloth Diaper Change had evolved into an exciting World Record breaking event.
In 2014, participants set the current Guinness World Record of 8,459 babies changed at one time,” Asgard said.
“Successfully organising thousands of participants each year, with 19 countries on 5 continents hosting events, our reach was truly global in 2015 as we yet again increased the number of countries that joined together to raise cloth diaper awareness in local communities.”
