Best Bottom is back!!! 😍

Hi! I’m Erin, I’d like to introduce myself as the new owner of Best Bottom Diapers with my husband Stuart! You might already know me as the owner of Sterling & Me children’s boutique where I have been a cloth diaper retailer for the last 7 years!

Best Bottom was the first cloth diaper brand I started stocking at Sterling & Me. I have loved this brand for so long, used them for my own babies, and am so excited to start production to bring back this amazing diaper!

Best Bottom’s new home will be in Illinois and will continue being made in the USA! We promise to keep Best Bottom the same diaper you have loved with high quality materials for your baby. We are so excited to get to know you all better and help you along your cloth diaper journey!

A little bit about us:
We have 4 kids from age 9 to 8 months, two boys and two girls
I started cloth diapering in 2015 and opened Sterling & Me in 2017
We have backyard chickens and 4 cats 🐓
I love everything farm themed 🚜
Stuart and I are super nerdy 🤓
(So you can expect many farm and nerdy prints! 😆)

Our first priority is to get inserts back in stock and the website up! All remaining inventory is on its way to us this week so we will have covers up on the site soon. I will be sure to post lots of updates 💕 thank you for being here!

******EDIT*********

IU Health Bloomington will continue their outpatient lactation services. We urge them to make their lactation program more visible and assessable in order to fully support new families. In light of this information, know that your voices bring clarity to hospital administrators about the needs of our community. Postpartum services, like lactation support are essential to maternal and infant health.

*********************************************************************

We are extremely disappointed to hear that in the midst of Indiana's maternal and infant mortality crisis that IU Health Bloomington has decided to discontinue outpatient lactation services.

If you would like to let IU Health Bloomington know how much you have benefited from their outpatient lactation services, please email your story to Ted Jackson @ tjackson4@iuhealth.org. We want Mr. Jackson to know how much your outpatient IBCLC helped you.

If you would like to educate IU Health about the importance of outpatient lactation services and how they support maternal and infant health, we encourage you to contact:
Denzil Ross
President, IU Health South Central Region
dross10@iuhealth.org

IU Health Bloomington, we have some questions for you. We'll be in touch, as will other local and regional maternal and infant health advocates.
