My Diapering Journey's Beginning . . .

The very beginning of my diapering journey began, as many people's do,  at the hospital with disposable diapers. This wasn't a bad beginning, since I had other people helping me with changing the baby's diaper. The hospital also had a secret about diapering, which was to only put the baby in a shirt and a disposable diaper that I didn't realize the wisdom of until later. That dress code of only a shirt and a diaper works much better when cleaning up after a diaper explosion. I learned the hard way that getting a onesie off after a diaper explosion or leak, isn't very fun or sanitary.

Now for a Innovative thought today:
Whoever thought it was a good idea to make a one piece outfit for a baby, where it can only be taken off going over his or her head, never used the exploding and leaking disposable diapers I received at my baby showers.

Therefore, if you are using those kinds of diapers (some of the name brands were the worst in my case), you may want to think more deeply about what you choose to dress your child in, because it would be less mess and work for you to change just the bottom of an outfit then the whole thing, especially if it has to be taken off going over your child's head.

Also, many disposable diapers leak and do not hold up during a diaper explosion, so be aware of which diapers you choose to purchase or use. Some diapers worked at first but eventually didn't hold up as the  baby grew. I found that the Western Family Cozy Care diapers seemed to work best for us, because it has elastic at the top in the back and not just around the legs. 

 *I acknowledge each person and child is different and each kind of diaper works differently for different people. These are just my suggestions based on my experiences. If you have experienced otherwise, please tell us what your suggestions would be? Thank You!
