I should have been more clear w/ the dayhome...

So my son started at a dayhome a couple weeks ago, and she agreed to cloth diapers which is great. She seems to have no problem with them - I send aplix pockets, so it's pretty easy. The flaw? She's been checking if he's wet by feeling the fleece and just assuming he's dry! Yesterday was the first day I did the pick-up myself, so I showed her that yes, the insert was very wet.

So I guess it's important to state the (to me) obvious. Poor little dude has been in some pretty wet diapers. His skin is fine, though, so no damage done.

At least the fleece kept his skin dry and you got the chance to show her how to do it right.

I am having the same problem. DCP either feels the outside of the diaper or sticks her finger in and feels the fleece. The first few days DD was there, she only got changed 2 or 3 times. I keep telling her that I change about every 2 hours, no matter what (and I've almost never discovered a dry diaper).

You could always ask to have him changed every two hours, even if he seems dry.

I'll just tell her to change him about every 2-3 hours, which is what I do at home. I really think the problem is solved - I just posted so that others would know to be more explicit in their directions with daycare.

It makes me wonder how often she changes kids in disposables....

Our DC changes every 2-3 hrs unless there is poop.

I think it's more clear to some people when a disposable is wet. Even without the color strip the whole feel of the diaper changes.

Plus, people have this idea that CD kids hang around in sopping wet diapers all day.
