Diaper Ditchers

You hear a faint ripping sound....you come around the corner and expect your child to have a piece of paper or something similar in their mouth...but what you come upon is much different.  In the .00000005 seconds it took you to round the corner, your child has ditched their diaper, taken a few steps, squatted and peed all over your carpet (true story)....sighhhhhhhhh.......that's what we call Diaper Ditching....it ranks pretty high on the list of fears of diapering moms.  At least mine anyway. 

So, when my sweet daughter first started ripping at her diapers, I kept thinking, I just need to distract her, and then she won't remember she's wearing Velcro.  That didn't work.

Then I thought, oh, I'll just keep her in pants all the time.  Well, it's 90 degrees here, so, that didn't work. 

At this point, I was noticing that only our snap diapers would stay on her...so I thought I could sneak the Velcro in during nap time.  She woke up from one nap drenched in her pee with no diaper on, and SCREAMING, so that didn't work.

Apparently my sweet little one just loved the sound the Velcro made WAY too much...so, we are now a 100% snap family :) No more Velcro for this little girl! We will tuck them away for the next one!  LUCKILY, we love the Rock-a-Bum snaps and they are strong enough to ward off her little 15 month old mischievous ways :)

**If you are a disposable only family, the Rock-a-Bums covers are designed to go over disposables too, and it will keep your little one from ditching their disposable diaper!


This is my little girl attempting to take off the Rock-A-Bums, thank goodness the snaps are strong!

  3. My fear is finding her with her diaper off playing in her poop. My little 13 month old discovered the sound of Velcro about two months ago. I often keep shorts on her. I have heard horror stories of poop smearing.

    1. The best way to keep the diaper laundry to a minimum is having a large enough stash to keep you going. We only do laundry two or three times a week (mostly just two)!

  41. Getting pooped on. Hahah but that's an illogical fear if I'm using cloth. I guess I will have to agree with sweets, I would be really sad if I accidentally left my diaper somewhere and misplaced it. :( Or if I were drying my diapers outside and someone stole them. :(

  57. My number one fear is the stinky diaper pail. I HATE pulling out the pail liner and I always RUN to the washing machine, shove everything in, and slam it shut so that I don't have to smell the two-day-old diapers.

  62. Leaks, leaking, or overflowing of the diaper.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Removing the velcro diapers. Only 10 months and she can already undo the aplix. At least I mostly have snaps; the aplix ones are for nighttime, and they get covered by a onesie, so she can't get to them. Other than that, yeast. Or forgetting a diaper-containing wetbag in the car. Thankfully the last two haven't happened. Yet.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I think my number one fear is yeast. This is followed closely by a fear of my mom ruining all of my cloth diapers in the wash when she comes to help with baby #2 (due in late August). I actually posted a washing routine list by the washer to prevent this.

    ReplyDelete
  84. That I'll forget to put his pants on and he'll take it off during nap... and we'll have to clean up more of his "art work." Lol. Stinker.
