There are so many choices now for parents who have babies in diapers. There are diapers for squirmy babies, pull up diapers, diapers with happy decorations on them, diapers that can carry heavy volumes of the stuff diapers hold. There are diapers which keep the contents secure. All of these diapers are disposable, too. Wow...
Back in the day, when I started changing babies' diapers, things were a lot different. Then, diapers were made of cloth. They came in one size and in one color: white. They had to be fastened with plastic-topped diaper pins, or large safety pins, if we did not have diaper pins. Once on the baby, the cloth diaper had to be covered by a plastic cover panty, which I cannot remember the name of right now. It had openings for the baby's legs to go through. The hardest part is that the old diapers were not disposable. You had to empty them out before laundering them. Times were tight. Most mothers knew how many diapers they had, so it was best not to attempt to secretly throw away a soiled diaper because you did not want to clean and recycle it. Today, those who change babies' diapers have it a lot easier!
Smiles, and enjoy your weekend!
