Cloth diapers

[Suzie_Homemaker]

I have never had a child in cloth diapers in my hdc or in the centres I worked at. I'd need a lesson on how to change them and store dirty diapers but I'm fairly sure I wouldn't charge more.

I do think they're becoming more popular again so I'm sure I'll see some soon! A friend of a friend cloth diapers but has mentioned she'd send disposables when/if she needs daycare.

This very true. For 6 year I have no cloth diapers and only asked once and said no. Last 3 years, lots of cloth diapers. Always one or two in cloth and same for other providers I know.

It just the same. They have velcro or snap and there is a pocket for a pad to be put inside, like putting pillow case on pillow. Size of diaper can be changed as child get bigger by snaps which shorten/lengthen the height that diaper comes up tummy and back.

I tell all parent that clean diapers in child bag must be already to right size and have pad/insert inside. So when I put on child, it is just like throw away diaper with popper or velco on sides. Some carer plop out solid into toilet when used and throw away dirty wipes. Some just wrap it all up and parent deal with at home. Up to you. Then the diaper with mess and wipes or facecloth go straight in bag to go home. Exactly same as throw away diaper except not throwing away.

Some carer have RSI (I think) or bad hand from snap, snap all time. Two snap each side of diaper and snap under crotch of vest is 7 undo snaps and 7 do up snaps every diaper change. Some people hands don't like all the snap, snapping. Some carer ask for velcro diaper but expensive to buy if parent already bought snapping diaper.
