Hello there constant reader! It is good to be back. I haven't been writing as much because things were pretty much the same and I also went back to work after getting a few weeks off with baby Gabriel.
Baby Gabriel is growing and we are now in that nice month where he start laughing
It is so funny to realize how many things are "learned". There was one particular moment with one of my sons that was wanting to grab some water in the shower and I said he could use his hands and I realized, wait... he doesn't know he can cup his hands to grab water! And there are so many other things in the world that we take for granted but sometime, somewhere, a mommy, a daddy, a grandparent, or a caretaker first told us about it when we were little.
Okay, back to cloth diapers. Today, I wanted to write about my constant journey to a "big-mess-free" diaper change. There has been a new step on that evolution:
I talked on my previous blogs about my changing mat and how I like to change diapers in the floor because babies cannot fall from it (unless your house is really, really, weird, that is). I recently had issues with poopies staining the new covers I had under him, which resulted in another poopie cover and poopie flat.
So there is a new hack with the flat that is so simple, I don't know why it took me so many years to realize it. A flat diaper can also be a mat cover! So now, we have three flats with different hacks:
So with the flat diaper mat cover, if the poopie leaks somewhere, that is just one flat that goes to the bin and not another cover. It is also helpful for drying after all is wiped and clean. Once things look good, then we insert the new diaper. And on that, I have another tip (just don't tell my wife): I use the covers that I like the least because after a poopie, sometimes there is another one!
