The Diaper Belt
Today I want to do "Show And Tell." I will both show you a Diaper Belt and tell you how it is used. My oldest daughter must be credited here, as she is the one who created the Diaper Belts I use. While I could make them myself, she was kind enough to do it for me, saving me the time and effort.
A Diaper Belt is nothing more than a piece of flannel, sewn as a casing with a bit of elastic threaded through it. It looks something like those little elastic headbands you see that are made for bald baby girls.
Here is a photo of Tommy wearing his diaper belt.
To use it for ECing, I simply put the Diaper Belt around his waist, take a prefolded cloth diaper folded in thirds and tuck into the Belt in front and back. When pottying the baby, I merely have to untuck the diaper from the belt in front and flip it out of the way.

That's smart!
ReplyDeleteDo you use that under clothing when its cold out?
ReplyDeleteIt is a good idea and I think it would work well under the EC pants.
A way after thought
ReplyDeleteTommy looks a lot like TM
Usually he just wears a shirt and socks. We have to keep the house warm enough for him. However, we communicate well enough that I'm toying with making some split pants.
