Hi all,
I was just packing my hospital bag and I was debating whether to bring my prefolds and newborn prowrap covers to the hospital to use, or should I just bring disposables? (I was given about 8 dozen of the things!)
My issues are:
Pro-cloth:
I want to welcome my newbie with cloth and not paper.
Cloth is softer for new skin.
I'm just itchin to try out my new stuff!;-)
Pro disposie:
I won't have to worry about doing laundry the day after I get home.- I just know that it won't even occur to DH to do the laundry for me, and besides I wouldn't trust him with my stash.
I don't know if meconium will stain or not.
One less bag (of dirty laundry) to carry home.
The issue is also extended to baby wipes too. I made about 30 flannel, single thickness, 9"x9" wipes that I plan to use, but now when I think of it, would it be easier to go with disposies with these too? (I have about 6 pks of sample wipes). Btw, is 30 enough for day to day use, considering that I'll probably be doing laundry every other day? And why do people recommend double thickness?
What would be easiest for hospital use, keeping in mind that mobility will probably be somewhat limited (for getting water, extra supplies etc.)?
