Re: cloth diapers

Dana-

You're at a very easy point to switch to cloth if you're baby is a

toddler. Just get some of those nice stretchy cotton pull-ups and then

the thick " diaper doubler pads " (there are internet sources for them if

you can't find them locally). Sticking one pad inside the pull-up was

usually enough protection for my kids for regular day-time at-home use.

At night with a heavy wetter I'd use 2 pads & a cover-all over the whole

works. When we would go out I would usually use 1 pad and a cover-all.

This system worked great for me with the last 3 babies. You can often

just slip the wet pad out and stick a new one in.

The kids really do train faster this way.. I had 4 in regular diapers

before the 3 in cloth and there was easily a year average difference in

the time to train. You will both become much more aware of the times

that they need to go and pretty soon you will have a habit of putting

the child on the pot at certain times.. i.e., immediately after eating,

waking, getting out of the car, etc. You'll especially learn to catch

those bm's quick and the baby will play the game with you and let you

know when it's coming.

Good luck!

I love cloth diapers! !! My favorites, expensive but worth it are bamboo bums

all in ones.

but also possibly for Cole until we are potty trained. Has anyone used them in

general for any of their kids, and has anyone used them with their child in a

cast? I am curious, how they fit with a cast, what brands did you find worked

best?
