Butt Care 101

Well - Ben and I don't have a name for the baby yet but we definitely have his butt covered. We pretty much have everything needed to make sure his cute little tooshie will remain in tip top shape. I think we can all agree that a baby's butt is one of the cutest things out there.

First - we have the diaper wipe warmer. Not cold wipes for this baby!
Thanks Marion for thinking of baby Burling's tush.

We have some of the best Diaper Rash Ointment out there thanks to Cousin Kris.

And we have the pee-tepee. What is this you wonder?! It's a little teepee to put over Baby Burling's pee pee so he doesn't pee on us while we change his diaper. These things are so fricken cute and I can't wait to use it! Thanks Lisa for thinking of mom and dad!

We also have the ultimate Diaper Genie for those stinky diapers. Thanks Kathy!


Ben and I are still trying to figure out what kind of diaper we will be using. I like the idea of cloth diapers but I don't like the idea of washing them. So a diaper service is an option. The only one that delivers to San Francisco is Tiny Tots. They recommend 80 diapers for the first week. WHAT?!?! EIGHTY diapers. That is fricken crazy. Since it's a diaper service it won't save much money compared to disposable diapers but at least it will help the environment.

The other option is called gdiapers. They are not cloth nor are they disposable. They are flushable! Basically it's a diaper with a pocket where you have the re-fillable pads that you toss in the toilet when the baby is done doing it's stuff. So it's kinda like a maxi-pad but you can flush it.

I'm not sure what we will end up doing. But I know that we still plan to use disposable diapers one of those two options I mentioned. Are there any other options out there?! Like toilet training the baby when he's 3 months old?

Ha! Why wait until 3 months old? There actually are parents in other countries (India, Africa) who practice "elimination communication" -- check out this site: http://www.thediaperfreebaby.com/. Seems like you'd spend a lot of time staring at your baby, waiting for little Rocket's signals... ;-)
