When our baby was first born, my husband was really great to help change diapers. Before the baby was born we both had agreed we didn't want to do cloth diapering. With disposables there are less steps involved with changing a diaper, so it can be easier to have others help.
I didn't notice my husband's lack of helping with changing diapers until after doing cloth diapers for awhile. I am not sure if it was that he felt overwhelmed by having such a variety of diapers to choose from since I had begun accumulating quite a variety of diapers, or if he was worried about putting the diapers on wrong because I had begun experimenting with liners which made it a little more complicated to help. He also hasn't helped with washing them possibly because he thinks it is gross, and/or complicated or too much work.
Anyhow, I am trying to simplify diapering at this time, since my husband is still showing hesitation to help. My advice would be to keep things as simple as you can when cloth diapering, at least for the sake of those helping with diaper changes. This is where hybrid diapers can be nice, especially with the disposable inserts.
Innovative Idea: I am interested in coming up with a more effective and easier to use disposable diaper liner. In later posts I plan to share some of the ideas I have come up with for this. So stay tuned!
