Hide Some Diapers

We all know that diapers are expensive and we run out fast. None of us want to be stranded without any diapers. One thing I've learned is storing away diapers. When you start to run low on diapers go out and buy more diapers then take the last 2 or 3 and store them away somewhere. You can store them in your car, in a dresser drawer, in a kitchen cabinet, anywhere. Then when you are strapped for cash for a few days and are in need for diapers you have them stored away all over and you will have a small supply to last you a few days until you can afford to go out and buy some more. Just remember to keep the sizes up to date...you don't want to need a size 6 diaper and only be able to find a stash of size 3's.

Preventing "Poop Painting"

Sooner or later your baby will learn how to take their diaper off. You can't stop it but you can prevent it at one of the worst times, when you are sleeping. Say your little bean has woken up before you in the morning, decides to entertain themselves. It is horrible to wake up to a baby who has taken off their diaper because they can and it was soiled and find that they have "poop painted" the walls, the crib, their hair, their clothes, their bedding, and their mouths(gross I know but trust me it DOES happen). When you put your wee one to bed one thing you can do is make sure that they are in a onesie. Now sooner or later they will figure out how to undo those snaps on their onesie and then you are in for waking up to a poop masterpiece. A way to prevent it after they have learned how to unsnap the onesie is to put the onesie on backwards. I know it sounds strange but it is quite difficult for them to unsnap it when it is on their butt.

I hope that helps you to prevent messes when you wake up in the morning, because we all know we don't want to wake up to cleaning poop off of every surface in a 5 ft radius of your baby.
