    Tips & Warnings

    • Fold a small towel or washcloth to use inside the diaper for added absorbency for an older toddler.

    • Always keep your fingers between the baby and the pin when pinning a diaper.

    • Tea-towel diapers are only to be used in a pinch. The soap used in washing the towel may irritate your baby's bottom.

      If making a diaper always use a plastic bag with feet holes over the made diapers for extra protection against leaks. Also secure it snuggle around the waist with tape. (Only do with home made diapers)(Only do when you have no more diapers)
