I've found a couple of possible covers, I'm not going try them until next week, so check back for both cover and diaper reviews!
The first was brought up by a friend, she mentioned cutting up a rain poncho and pinning it like a second diaper. She has one she doesn't use, so I'll be getting that from her tomorrow. If I needed to I could pick up a poncho at the DollarTree or Walmart for anywhere from $1 -$4. Although it won't have elasticized legs, it should keep my carpet and and couch from getting soaked. I figure I'll have to change diapers fairly frequently anyway.
The other I discovered is a simple fleece scarf. Since fleece is a popular soaker fabric anyway, I know it will work. I could cut and pin, but wrapping and tying worked today!

| Lay across baby's front and wrap ends of scarf around to the back, then cross. |

| Bring crossed ends through baby's legs |

Wrap around to the back and tie!
This might be bit more difficult with a younger baby, you'd need to turn the baby onto his tummy to tie.
I just stood Jaron up and it wasn't a problem. |

| This is the front. A bit bulky, but it will do. |

| When I spread out the fringed ends of the scarf it looked like this. Cute little Rumba skirt, too bad he's not a girl!!! |
What a neat way to make a cover. I bet it would work great at night as a wool replacement.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! This made me giggle. He looks like a little adorable peacock!

ReplyDeleteIt does work great overnight, but I made a mistake yesterday and cut it in half trying to cut down on bulk, 2/3 width would work but half is really too narrow...
