About Us


In the fall of 2008, two women sat in the office of a local accounting firm and dreamed of the day when they could make simple, natural, healthy choices for two babies that were to be born the following summer.  Kristina Amiraslani and Elizabeth Pilgrim shared a common goal.  Like all moms, they wanted the best for their children.  To them, one of the easiest solutions was to cloth diaper.  Elizabeth’s oldest child experienced a reaction to the chemicals found in disposable diapers.  She knew cloth was the only option to protect her future child’s little skin and immune system.  Kristina wanted to make a smaller footprint and leave this earth a little better for her son.  Since disposable diapers are the third largest consumer item in landfills, taking up to 500 years to decompose, using reusable diapers was also an easy choice for Kristina.  As they planned together, each accumulating “diaper stashes”, they quickly realized how overwhelming the choices can be. 

As their research expanded, and their frustration with the lack of local resources grew, their passion for educating about cloth diapers also increased day by day.  The research into personal diapering choices planted a seed that quickly grew into the birth of a new cloth diaper store, The Changing Table.  In the fall of 2009, The Changing Table opened as an online and in-home store focused on helping parents make the best diapering choices for their little ones.


It was a labor of love.  Kristina and Elizabeth quickly became a local resource for one on one education and worked days, evenings, and weekends meeting with clients and answering phone calls and emails.  Through the years, the women have found that many families want to cloth diaper for economic, environment, or health reasons but are held back by the fear of the unknown.  Because of this, The Changing Table has three special programs to help parents.  The most widely-used program is the Cloth Diaper Trial.  Parents meet one on one with local cloth diaper experts and choose twelve diapers that best fit their lifestyle.  Families can try these diapers for 30 days for only $15 after deposit.  “We have had hundreds of families try cloth diapers over the past four years. Only a few decided not to continue with cloth diapers after the trial.  It is a testimony to how simple reusable diapers are once you find the perfect fit for your lifestyle,” says Elizabeth.



The Changing Table outgrew the in-home store and opened a brick and mortar in October of 2012.  The women wanted to keep the intimate feeling of the previous location, so they created a warm, fun, and kid-friendly store.  With bright, cheery colors on the walls and photos of beautiful babies smiling down on you, it’s a place you want to hang out.  Children love to come to the “diaper store” to play in the enclosed kids’ area, and new moms are often found using the store’s baby scale to watch their little ones grow.  There is a diaper “play station” that allows parents to touch and feel each type of diaper available.  “Shopping locally with us guarantees one on one troubleshooting whenever you need it.   We are not just a store.  This is a community,” says Kristina.       


As The Changing Table continues to evolve, the women have added a selection of baby carriers, breastfeeding necessities, environmentally safe teethers, toys, and more.  There is even a “Made in Oklahoma” table which showcases local, handmade items.  “We choose our products carefully by selecting items that are functional, beautiful, and sustainably made” says Kristina.  New moms enjoy browsing the selection of amber teething necklaces and the array of silicone Chewbeads.  The Changing Table’s bamboo swaddle blankets and Kleynimals non-toxic stainless steel baby keys are a hit at baby showers.  The store is truly a natural baby boutique. 


The Changing Table offers many free classes including their Cloth Diaper Crash Course every second and fourth Saturday of the month at 10 a.m. and one Thursday evening class a month at 6:30 p.m.   They also have monthly classes on folding prefolds and flats, wash routine troubleshooting and how to use wool.  Monthly babywearing classes teach moms, dads, and caregivers how to safely and comfortably carry their babies in a variety of carriers.  In honoring their first love of education, Elizabeth continues to advocate for cloth diapers and is a Real Diaper Association Board Member and Central Oklahoma real diaper circle leader.  Kristina is following her passion to help other moms with breastfeeding through becoming a Certified Breastfeeding Educator.  In September, The Changing Table will be offering free breastfeeding classes for expecting parents.  The Changing Table’s babywearing class is taught by a Babywearing International Volunteer Educator.
