I believe that living a natural life is about doing what you can, and not feeling so bad when a way of life does not fit yours. I swore that I would be a cloth diaper gal when we I became a mother. We came home from Kazakhtan with our son and one of the first things I did was purchase cloth diapers. The experience was interesting on many levels. My son's legs are fairly lean. For some reason his cloth diapers tended to leak especially at night. It was not from not changing him enough. I think his bladder must be close to a 50 gallon barrel because I am not sure where all the urine came from. I was working full time, daddy was home, and well, he just never go the hang of keeping up with the diapers. We tried for a few months, then did a hybrid of cloth and disposable, and then we just had to let it go. I made peace with the fact that between working full time, all the medical that was needed when we returned with our son, and the leaking it was just not a good fit.
Now it is potty training time. I went yesterday and purchased some cloth training diapers. I am going to try again. Who knew that there was a fashion industry around diaper patterns.
Last night.... well, again same problem. I watched like a hawk, and the first pee of the night was a pajama soaker. Does anyone have any insight on the cloth diaper use. Is it possible that my son's Kazak. legs are just not as plump as these American made diapers require?
We are a sheet of ice here in AK. School was cancelled for the past 3 days because the roads are so bad. I braved the storm and made it to Anchorage for the little guy's appts.
Thank you again my delightful cleats. You make my world a better place.
