Yep, that's my dh too. He wouldn't agree to use cloth unless he got a few pockets or aio's. He CAN snappi a prefold when that's all that's left and he does a pretty darn good job too. He just doesn't like them. So since I change 99% of the diapers in a day, I make sure to have what he likes when he changes one or two diapers. The way I see it, I wouldn't have a bunch of diapers that I don't like so why should he? If he likes pockets, well then I'll get them for him so he's comfortable changing Sara. I prefer fitteds so we have MOSTLY fitteds and wool and just a few pockets for dh. He reaches for a pocket first every single time he changes her. I think that it's much easier to hand reluctant grandparents or daycare providers or even reluctant husbands a pocket already stuffed or an aio so that they don't have to learn what needs a cover and what doesn't because 95% of the time, they aren't interested in learning, at least in our situation. My in-laws can't be bothered to learn about cloth and really do NOT understand my desire for cloth, much less my obsession with cloth. My husband has been dragged into cloth kicking and screaming for 9 months now and he STILL coulnd't tell you what needs a cover and what doesn't if you hand him some new diapers that aren't ours. He's memorized what I do just from seeing it all the time so he gets it right but hand him two diapers from someone else's stash and
. So I don't try to explain it to him, I just get him what he likes!
