Ever Left a Dirty Diaper For Someone Else to Change?
Parenting is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. When it comes to diapering, many parents use the rule, "He who smelt it, changes it," which usually has both sides equally elbow deep in soiled nappies. However, some sneaky (and tired) mamas and papas looking to score a break from diaper duty have admitted to leaving a stinky one for their counterpart to find and change.
Accessories to Make Cloth Diapering a Cinch
The cloth diaper movement has another lil celebaby poster child. Alyson Hannigan was spotted out with her five-month-old daughter, Satyana, holding a gDiaper in hand. As more parents consider going green, a number of cloth diapers have sprung up with stylish diaper covers to get competitive with their disposable counterparts.
How Much Do You Know About Disposable Diapers?
One of the first necessities parents have in their home for a new babe is diapers. While the debate over the environmental impact of cloth versus disposable diapers continues, there is no doubt that disposable ones are leading the charge. See just how much you know about the convenient throw-away nappies by taking our quiz.
Elimination Communication: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?
Mothers brag about getting their tots out of diapers, but some women choose never to use nappies. Many parents who practice elimination communication (EC) with their babies don't invest in cloth or disposable diapers. Instead, they tune in to their infant's signals for eliminating waste and dispose of it in other ways.
Cloth Diapers Are Making a Comeback
Cloth diapers are making a comeback! Families are disposing of their disposable nappies since they can save up to $2,000 in the two-and-a-half years most children wear diapers. Now the cloth versions offer flushable liners and fashionable covers that leave parents more inclined to make the switch.
Looking to Cut Expenses? Consider Cloth Diapers
The statistics are staggering — disposable diapers take up to 500 years to decompose, and switching to cloth can save hundreds of dollars a year — but mamas continue to use disposable diapers for convenience and save the cloth versions for burping. Today's cloth diapers are a far cry from the bulky terry cloth and sweaty plastic pants our grandparents used.
Bambino Mio is revolutionizing the washable diaper with soft, natural cotton nappies and cute covers that are more breathable than their disposable counterparts, allowing the skin to maintain a constant temperature.
Tell Mommy: Diaperless Emergency
Every now and again, a diaper disaster occurs. A mother will find herself with a deplorably stinky diaper, but no fresh ones to replace it. It happened to me once on an airplane.

This handy and compact diaper disposal system can hold around 40 diapers (if you dare) all while fighting to keep your wee one's room smelling fresh.
Sarah Palin Is Packing Diapers
SARAH!!
Sarah Palin may be the Republican vice presidential candidate, but she's also a mom. While juggling jobs, the Governor of Alaska stepped off her campaign bus with her baby, Trig, and was flanked by security as they headed in to an Ohio Walmart to purchase a toy and a pack of Parents’ Choice brand disposable diapers for her lil guy.
