So, here I am using disposables. No, not because I have given up on cloth, that will not happen. Simply in getting ready to fly to Hawaii with our sweet little girl, the thought of flying with dirty diapers is not exciting. To be honest traveling with cloth, and trust me, we have been living out of a suitcase for over a month now, has been MUCH easier than I thought, of course, thanks to family I have not been without a washer/dryer. Thanks to flying costs including paying for luggage, how little room you have on airplanes, carrying clean and dirty diapers just isn't appealing. I mean we are not just talking about a 2 hour flight here. This is a total of 17+ hours of travel.
I knew when we were planning our trip that I would use disposables, I did not know how it would make me feel. GUILTY!! Seriously, the guilt I feel every time I change a diaper is overwhelming. I feel like I am letting down my little girl and me! Cloth is addicting, fun, green, healthy, shall I go on?
So in prep for our flight, I washed and cleaned diapers and packed them away. I began using disposables, started a few days early to prevent any mid-travel rashes! (what do they say..prepare for the worst and be pleasantly surprised?).
So our little gem had not pooped yesterday, so I appropriately fed her prunes/oatmeal this am. We had a normal morning and went to run errands and grab lunch. At lunch I think....hmmmm I should check. Well call it motherly instinct, sure enough explosion, through and up the diaper.. Through her clothes... seriously this is the benefit of disposables, the diaper people say is soooo easy? When I stare at my daughter standing on the changing table naked at a restaurant bathroom with poop all up her hindside, checking out the tiles on the wall like she is in a police line up while I wipe her and grandma Pagano helps get the towels wet and dry her off, desperately trying not to get her completely
covered in her own mess, I think to myself ... Cloth I miss you!!!
