Surviving The Diapering Stage

                              


Parenthood is not an easy task to undertake! There are so many late nights, early mornings, temper tantrums, unexpected messes and out of the blue happenings that even the most patient person may show signs of cracking under the pressure on any given day!

The Diapering Stage contains many challenges that can make parents want to cry after a long day/week/month. In all honesty, I think I cried every day for 6 months when Roo was in diapers. Now that Harper is in the diapering stage, I have discovered a few tips and tricks that have helped me to stay sane. I can't wait to share them with you!

1. A good night's sleep is essential to the entire family! When we are exhausted and the kids are cranky, a full day of changing diapers can seem extremely daunting. If you are not at the sleeping through the night stage, make sure to take time to rest! 
2. Eat a well-balanced diet. This is true for the entire family too! Trust me on this one... children cannot survive on Crackers alone! Nutritious foods for parents will fuel them for a full day of changing diapers! A well-balanced diet for children helps to keep the diapers surprises at a minimum. But, sorry parents, there will always be a few surprises in there!
3. Invest in quality diapers for baby. Again, a lesson I learned along the way. We have tried every diaper on the market literally. The best advice I can give anyone is, buy the good diapers! We use Huggies Little Snugglers. These keep leaks in, keep baby fresh and dry and are gentle on sensitive baby skin. 
4. When your little mover discovers how to remove a soiled diaper as soon as it is dirty {Argh! Yes this happens at the worst times, such as when a delivery is made to the house...} it might be time to pull out my super mom trick- put the diaper on BACKWARDS! This will stump your little sweetie for a few weeks and save you from some serious mess making!
