The history of the Cradle washable diaper

Discover how the Berceau washable diaper came about, the result of a wonderful collaboration between passionate mothers aware of the challenges of everyday life.

From their shared struggles and their relentless search for sustainable solutions, an innovation made with love was born, designed to simplify families' lives. Much more than just a diaper, Berceau embodies a concrete response to the real needs of babies… and their parents.

The story behind the Berceau diaper

The Berceau diaper was born from a simple idea: to offer families a truly intuitive, high-performance cloth diaper that respects babies’ skin. No complex systems, no compromises. Just a gentle, logical and efficient solution designed to support parents every day.

Very quickly, other parents joined this vision. Thirteen mothers in total took part in its development, each bringing her own perspective, experience and standards. Their feedback refined every detail — from leak protection to the slim inner core, right down to how the fabrics behave during real diaper changes.

Among them:

  • a childcare assistant, with experience of hundreds of diaper changes each week;
  • a daycare director, familiar with collective needs and real-world constraints;
  • and mothers who tested, observed, adjusted and compared every prototype.

Together, they shaped Berceau. A diaper born in real life — through naps, outings, babywearing, restless nights and busy mornings. Every improvement comes from lived experience, never from theory.

Today, Berceau represents the collective intelligence of parents and early-childhood professionals. It carries a shared ambition: to support families with care, precision and simplicity. It’s not just a diaper. It’s a human story, a shared journey, a system designed for you… with you.

Manifesto — Ma Boule De Couches®

Because technique protects babies. Because transparency protects parents.

At Ma Boule De Couches®, we refuse approximations. We refuse vague advice. We refuse easy promises that don’t last through the night. Above all, we choose mastery — of our products, and the mastery parents deserve to have.

From the very beginning, we made a simple choice: to master our products as much as parents must be able to master them.

We believe a cloth diaper must be technically coherent, easy to use, precisely adjustable, and supported by real expertise — not slogans.

We develop our models with rigor, method, and deep knowledge of fabrics, elastics, fluid flows, absorption and fit.

That is why we explain everything. No shortcuts. No empty marketing. No hiding what truly matters.

We believe that informed parents make fewer compromises. Supported parents make better decisions. And parents who understand why and how their diaper works… never go back.

Our commitment is simple: to pass on what others don’t know — or don’t take the time to explain.

Leaks are not inevitable. Washing is not a mountain. Fabrics are not mysteries. Fit is not random. And absorption is not a myth.

We design our products to last. We design our content to support. We design our brand to reassure — never to disguise.

To be useful. To be reliable. To be consistent.
