That’s a lot of butt changing.

    Oh! And as Dave points out, we usually run out of diapers before the week is over. So we use more like 150 to 160 a week. Poopy butts!

    you need to invent a harness that holds them securely a just allows the doodoo to run off into a pail of water, and then an automatic arm comes out and wipes. oh, a bidet!! y’all need to suspend them over a bidet…

      We actually really like the cloth diapers. We thought it would be a hassle, and were prepared to make that sacrifice in order to be smug hipster greenie liberal bastards.

      But as it turns out, cloth diapers have not been much more of a hassle than disposables. The BIG reason is that we are using a service. They drop off clean diapers, we fill them with poo and drop them in a bag. No rinsing or washing. They pick up the poopy diapers. Could not be easier.

      If we were washing ourselves, I’d be singing a different tune, probably. I wrote about it a while ago, before the babies came: http://mile73.com/?p=9877
