“I’m always educating my clients on the importance of non toxic products especially for our little ones, and Coterie aligns with my values. Babies spend the majority of their first years in diapers and many contain chemicals that can cause irritation. When I had my daughter, I tried Coterie for myself, and I was blown away by the quality, softness, and absorbency. My daughter has been able to sleep through the night comfortably and never had a diaper rash.”

She encourages parents to stress less and to trust their instincts when it comes to sleep and parenting.

“It took until my third baby to finally try Coterie diapers, and I'm so sad I didn't have them with my other kids. They’re the softest diapers I’ve ever tried! They feel so buttery against my baby's skin, and I can't imagine putting her in anything else. I'm thrilled to work together to bring parents great products and great education.”
