Best Loved Baby

Best Loved Baby was started by 3 friends who were searching for safer, healthier, and better choices for their children. Sarah Simmons was the brain child of the idea and she talked to Ida her sister and Bronwyn her friend about starting a business with a real live retail space where you could actually touch and feel cloth diapers and find out about all the different options available right in one place. Sarah was expecting her fifth child and was tired of looking for cloth diapers just online. Bronwyn also was expecting her fifth and still had two little ones in diapers. She was tired of the messy blowouts and wanted a healthier option for her and her children that actually kept messes contained in the diaper. Ida was soon to be expecting her first baby and was researching all kinds of things about being a parent. Wanting to do the best for her baby as most any Mom would, she was taking advantage of the experience and knowledge of Bronwyn and Sarah and looking into better options herself. When the three of us started talking it wasn’t long before Best Loved Baby was born. We opened up shop in October of 2007 and were excited by the overwhelmingly positive response we received from the community. Thanks to many of our loyal and wonderful customers we grew out of our little shop in Bronwyn’s house. Recently we were able to move into a larger retail location while keeping the warmth and charm of our original store. Also Gerene Simmons, Sarah and Ida’s mother-in-law, has also joined our band as a co-owner and we are excited about her expertise and the experience she brings to Best Loved Baby. In response to customers and to find ways to be a better community resource, we are now opening up our website. This has been a bit of a learning curve for us, but we are happy to be able to be an asset for Mom’s and families everywhere! From the beginning we wanted to have cloth diapers for people to see and touch, but then it grew into having all kinds of safe and healthy product choices for our babies, our families, and our earth. We want to share that with our local community and beyond.
