[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Sort of, disposable diapers today pull all the wetness away from the skin so they don't feel the wet and miss the pee = potty cue that they would probably get from cloth. That's why the Pull ups today stay damp. Of course, if you have a kid who couldn't care less, then wet or dry doesn't matter (yes, my son was almost 3 when he finally started using the potty because he couldn't be arsed to care)
Edit: Oh Aimee, poor Em (poor you guys)
Ganked from my flist: Make your own kaleidoscope. Pretty and fun!
Sorry about Em, Aims. I hope she feels better very soon.
My nephew was like that, Dawn. I think he was 3 1/2 before he began caring about wet or poopy diapers.
What Dawn said. I think Pull-Ups are better served for sleeping time, and maybe the first couple of days of potty training. After that, I used underwear. Generally kids are more reluctant to soil their underwear than Pull-Ups.
Oh it was horrible, thankfully the daycare was private and they didn't care but oh it was a nightmare, because he knew but yet? Didn't care. He was way too busy doing other things. He's 9.5 now and he still puts off going to the bathroom till the last possible second because he's busy doing other, more important things.

Oh yeah, that worked wonders with the oldest. She got new pretty undies and that's all I needed to do.
Dawn, my brother was the same way. He just didn't care. Ew, dirty boy.
Thanks for the link, P-C. I love that site.
FWIW, my nephew's skin did better with cloth. I've heard the disposable is supposed to be better for that, though, so perhaps it just depends on the baby.
Just remembering when that nephew was a baby (this is the one who's a college baseball pitcher), and he used to have air baths, when his mom would rub him all over in some nice organic oil, and leave him naked on a blanket. Is it any wonder that none of her kids have been all that partial to clothing?
AIOs? Also, do you have some of those little velcro covers for the diapers that make the folding easier and eliminate the need for pins?
All-in-ones. So it's the diaper and the cover. We have covers for the prefolds, and for the two fitted diapers, which are basically identical to the AIOs, but may require a cover if you have a superwetter.
And? After the baby grows out of them, the cloth diapers make good polishing rags.
