My washer and dryer are due to be picked up first thing tomorrow am. My last load of diapers is washing as I type and the flats are ready for action. I am a little leery of them after an accident with a snappi tonight. I put a flat diaper on my son for bed and used the snappi to close it. Somehow I sliced the side of my finger. Its not horrible but it hurt and left a pretty good cut. It worries me because I am not sure how I did it and I would hate to see that happen to my baby. I will use more caution with the snappi's for sure. Other than that, I am very confident our flats challenge will be a success. The flat seems sung enough and the snappi seems to keep it tight enough even with wiggling.
Our diaper stash ready for the move
Night 1- David went to bed with a flat diaper in a kite fold with a snappi. I am using a wool cover. The wool I picked for overnights is a sugarpeas brand. I wanted to stick to handmade wool covers but for overnight I am going to use the sugarpea cover. I do not want to change wet sheets in the middle of the night. I think trying flats at night is a big enough step!
The flats challenge stash
Good luck! My parents used terry squares to diaper me, they didn't need to as they were well off but they didn't think that disposable diapers were healthy, mum was a bit before her time! My father offered to buy me terry nappies when I have a baby, I told him cloth diapers have changed a bit since the 80s :)
ReplyDeleteThats for the luck wishes! After 2 days with flats we might need them. They are a little more challenging than I expected but we are managing!
ReplyDeletethat should say Thanks!! Diapers have changed since the 80's for sure. My mom used cloth because disposables were a luxury item and not within my parents finanical means. She is super jealous of my diapers!!
