Diapers, diapers, and more diapers
We've been free of diaper tyranny for a long time. Raina stopped wearing an overnight pull-up ages ago, and we retired the training potty months ago. So we had forgotten what it's like to deal with diapers.
According to all the standard baby information, an infant uses 8-12 diapers in a day. Based on that information, we acquired 24 cloth diapers, figuring it would average out to doing diaper laundry every two days. Well, Lola is not the average kid, apparently, because she uses about 20 diapers a day and do diaper laundry everyday for her.
A standard 2-3 hour period goes like this: Lola gets up from her nap (change wet diaper), she eats, 15 minutes later she starts crying (change wet diaper), and then occasionally during that time frame she'll add a BM to the mix. She spends a fair amount of her day at the diaper changing station. It's amazing. If she ever starts spontaneously crying, it's because she just urinated and she wants her diaper changed pronto! It's an easy thing to make her immediately happy again.
