At Bummis they cheerfully give demonstrations on how to easily use and care for cloth diapers. Starter kits, beginning at $185, are really popular, and include 24 organic cotton diapers, six waterproof diaper wraps, flushable liners, fleece liners, a hanging diaper pail, and samples of bum balm and cloth diaper friendly detergent.

They manufacture many products as well, including a UPF 50 + Sun Line, swim diapers, potty pants and their own line of cloth diapers and accessories. Look for “seconds” too. This is Bummis 26th year in business: They were the first in Montreal to start manufacturing diapers and are still going strong distributing all over the world.

Focusing on sustainable parenting, you can expect to find toys and other products made of recycled plastic, locally made natural skincare products, and hand-made/fair trade bonding dolls.

Bummis also promotes attachment parenting so there’s a wide array of baby carriers from the Ergo Baby to Sakura bloom as well as products for nursing like their Bummis breastfeeding pillows, Bravado bras and pads, Lilla P origami tops and many Medela breastfeeding products.

They also offer workshops on babywearing, cloth diapers, baby CPR and knitting in addition to bi-monthly sessions with a certified lactation consultant.
