Nappies

Louka's growing so big (6.1kg last week) that the nappy fold we learned at the hospital doesn't fit her any more. I've been trying out others, but they all seem to be too small, or too complicated, or something... The kite fold seemed to work well, but because the corners are folded to the middle, when she does a poo it gets all over the nappy instead of in one area. So we came up with our own fold. It's basically the same as the corners fold, except we don't fold down the two sides. This gives us longer corners to tuck between Louka's legs, giving more absorbency there. It doesn't look all that neat, but it seems to work ok.


Here she is in the sling while I dry the dishes. The sling will often calm her, or even send her to sleep, when nothing else will. Only problem: she wakes up again as soon as I take her out of it.







































And here she is on our "bush" walk yesterday. She slept through most of it!
