Wool Worry?

I don't think that is silly.

If it makes you feel better you could tuck the draw string in. It won't get the damp.

nope not silly. I think The Cushie Tushie has a warning about drawstrings when you buy wool from them.

My DD likes to play with the drawstrings. It freaks me out. She rarely naps anywhere I am not so I don't worry too much but if she is going to sleep in a different room than me, she goes coverless.

yup, we do coverless naps lately

I too worried about that same thing I too just doubled/sometimes tripled the strings so that she couldn't get them undone

I ALWAYS double knot a drawstring, and I either tuck it in or put it in the back if it is a toddler that won't leave it alone. You can always as the WAHM to secure the drawstring so it won't come out too, we offer that service to ANYONE buying from us, and yes a disclaimer is included. Or if you already own the wool for less than $1 you can buy a yarn needle and some yarn and just secure the drawstring in the soaker yourself, that way it can't pull out and therefore can't strangle baby!

Of course supervision is the best way to ensure your baby is safe, but double knotting and securing the string help too!

I think of that everytime I go to put the boys to bed. I usually don't use one with a drawstring all night because I'm paranoid about it. I, too, double knot the drawstrings...but for all night I use one without the drawstring (like an Aristocrat).

Thank you mamas!! Glad to know I'm not the only one! Lots of good ideas here! It didn't even cross my mind (only had one soaker with a tie) until I got soaker with a LOOOONG tie, then I started to worry!

You can also get soakers w/o the drawstring.

We've done coverless naps and now that we EC we've been dry a lot of times.

I double knot also. And when ds is down for a nap or night in his longies or shorties I'll snap his onesie over the top so he can't get to the strings anyway.
