Even if you’re a committed and loyal fan of cloth diapering, at some point you’re going to hand that little cloth covered bum over to a friend, a relative or a caregiver and hope that they know how to handle…whatever comes out.
Cloth Diapers, Really?!
Old-school cloth diapers were behemoth cotton monsters meant to folded and crowded into industrial weight plastic pants. The elastic around the baby’s legs and belly left angry red welts and invited moisture rashes. Removing the diaper cover unleashed all the trapped sewage vapors – creating a stink that could knock even the most stalwart mom on her keester. For their heavy weight appearance, the diapers of old actually provided little barrier between the pee and whatever happened to be in its path. Perhaps this is why our grandparents covered their furniture in plastic?
Thankfully, today’s cloth diapers are made from skin saving fabric and have breathable covers that are waterproof and baby friendly. You already know you’ve made the right choice for yourself and your family – the real challenge is getting everyone else on board.
Wash Away Any Doubt
There might be a small added expense involved but consider having this ingenious mini shower spray wand installed in the homes of anyone who will be routinely caring for your baby. It’ll help alleviate any memories of the dreaded “dip and flush” and make it easier to stick with the program.
Do Your Own Dirty Work
If you’re committed to cloth diapers, your caregiver is going to hand you a smiling baby and a bag of soiled diapers at the end of the day. An attractive, waterproof container makes the exchange a little prettier.
Build Multiple Stashes
Anyone who has nursed a sick baby through a bad bug knows its almost impossible to estimate how much waste one little body can create. Just when you think that tank is empty, you’re dealing with another explosion. Make sure you never leave your caregiver stranded by leaving an extra stash of cloth diapers and diaper covers for emergencies.
With a little love and some extra attention, you should be able to change minds and bottoms!

This is a great idea but I have some ideas from personal experience from grandmothers and daycare. First, do not expect anyone to install a diaper sprayer on their toilet. Most people consider these unattractive, and they can leak and cause damage to the floor if you forget to turn them off for long enough. Instead, consider sending flushable liners for your diapers, or just let them put the diapers in the wet bag dirty. You can spray them off when you get home. Second, send disposable diapers as backups. There might be a caregiver who doesn’t prefer to use cloth, and it’s important to respect that. Finally, make sure that you buy a good wetbag with a zipper, and buy pocket diapers with Aplix as opposed to snaps for your caregivers to use.
