[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow...Cloth diapers....??! Is this the fifties??

Cloth diapers are a pain in the butt for the simple fact alone that they do not absorb!! And that is so unhealthy for any baby's skin. People say it is better for the planet, well considering they do not absorb at all, babies who use them need to be changed more often, thus they need to be washed more often so add'l water, electricity/gas and soap must be used so how does that help the environment??

Anyway, as your nanny, she should not be giving out unsolicited advice. She is the nanny and it is her job to follow orders from you, the parents.

If she cannot adequately follow your instructions without having to put in her two cents' worth, then you need to find a new nanny. One who works for you, not against you.[/quote]

Are you that dim?[/u] Cloth diapers have come a long way from the 50's.  In fact, some children with very sensitive skin do much better in cloth because their skin is not constantly in contact with the chemicals in disposable diapers.  [/quote]

Sorry, I am not a light bulb so I am unable to use the adjective word "dim" to describe myself, though if you have any other choice words for me, I would love to hear them, but dim does not apply to humans.  :idea:

And yes, I have worked with babies using the modern cloth diapers. No more diaper pins, I know they have buttons now. And liners. And I know diaper services no longer drop off and pick up diapers, etc. [b]I KNOW THIS[/b]  :mrgreen:

But one thing that will always remain the same regarding cloth diapers is something that cannot ever be disputed: ------> [u]They do not absorb!![/u] So it's a catch-22. If you want to get all anal about it (no baby pun intended btw), either your baby's skin will be exposed to his own urine/feces or the chemicals in disposable diapers.

Pick your poison.[/quote]
