This week we're focussing on Loving by Nature, an independent shop in London Road, Dorchester, with a range of cloth nappies, baby and nursing supplies, and organic and sustainable children's clothing and accessories.

Loving by Nature has a wide range of cloth nappies and are always happy to offer advice and demonstrations. If customers would like a private nappy consultation it is possible to book one via the website, otherwise please pop along for a look around during regular opening hours for a demonstration.

The use of cloth nappies is proving very popular and here is just one of the comments received: "I found out about this scheme through an email sent by the council. I always wanted to try reusable nappies with my first born but thought it would be too difficult. Now as a more experienced mother I thought it would be good to give it a go.

"I now wish I had taken the plunge and done it with my first as it is easy once you get into a routine of washing. The products are lovely and so soft and comfy for babies bum.

"I haven't got the hang of overnight wear yet as one nappy does not last the night so I am still using disposable but as the council email said even if you use one reusable a day over the course of a year you are saving 365 nappies from going to landfill."

The shop also showcases the work of talented female artists and makers.
