First attempt at making a cloth diaper...
Last week I made my first cloth diaper to try out on miss K. I wanted to start with an overnight kind of diaper. Mostly because I am a little nervous about what to do with poo! For the outer part of the diaper I used the ugliest PUL I could find at my local JoAnn's, which happened to be the only PUL available, and I used diaper flannel for the inner lining. and I left a slot in the back to add what I thought would be plenty of layers for soaking. Actually, only 1 prefold insert would fit inside the slot and I figured that would be plenty. It seemed so bulky! Forgive me. I am new to this cloth diapering thing! Clearly, it wasn't enough soaking power. When I woke the little lady up this morning, she was soaked from neck to knee. Even her pillow was wet! Yuck! I am not sure how she slept in that! Perhaps this diaper will work fine in the daytime, but it certainly isn't soaky enough for night time! I will have to try again.
