This morning I woke up excited to finally say buh-bye to disposable diapers and get Natalie into the coveted cloth diapers. I carefully folded and pinned her into the huge diaper and then donned the wonderful rubber pants. (We are going old school cloth, not the fancy new ones.) The rubber pants are still big on her around the legs and of course around the butt, but I figured that the cloth should still absorb most of the wet or dirty diaper mess.
WRONG!
I'm sure it didn't help that she probably peed 4 times before I changed her, or at least that was my estimate based on the degree of saturation. The diaper held in the poo just fine, but poor lamb had soaked through a onesie and her sleeper because of the ill-fitting rubber pants. So, she was immediately put back into the newborn disposables until said time that her little legs are better able to fill the legs holes of the rubber pants. In the meantime, I may hit babies r us to search for "newborn" size rubber pants instead of 0-3 months, which is the smallest size we have on hand.
To be continued....
Poor little lamb. Hope you find some newborn rubber pants! I tried to look online for you, but no dice. I didn't look very hard though...
ReplyDeleteI had some newborn size and I just sold them! Sorry! But if you want some tips and tricks for the dipes, call, or I'll try and find some time to email. Sometimes it's not a fit issue, it's a laundry or technique issue.
ReplyDeleteJenny, I just bought some newborn-20 lb size all in ones and hoping that solves the problem. I should have gone new school instead of old school to begin with! The diaper itself wasn't the problem, it was the rubber pants that were so huge on her that leaking was inevitable! They did help her fill out some of those giant newborn clothes that she's still too small for (one brand too small for, another brand outgrown...).
