It’s a little bit clunky when I’m out, she’s screaming in a restaurant and kicking on the changing table and I’m trying to wrestle the prefold on her, folded the way I like it. The biggest problem, however, is that she’s a tiny bit rashy. She doesn’t seem to react to it that I can tell, but her diaper area is a little reddish and sometimes has tiny bumps (which I ignored for a long while, because she gets something similar on her arms and chest sometimes). Kel mentioned that it looked rashy to her. I ended up using a double-stuffed FuzziBunz pocket on her overnight and in the morning there was NO redness at all. That was my “ah-ha” moment.

The microfleece on the FuzziBunz keeps the moisture away from her skin, so even after a full night with no changes she has no rash.<\/p>\nWell now I want more FuzziBunz. That wasn’t in my plans, they’re not cheap. My idea right now is to buy a few more for nights and while we’re out (I only have 2), and then buy or make some microfleece liners to use with the prefolds at home.<\/p>\nI am so tempted to get out my sewing machine. I also want to make her a playmat with an arch to hang toys on (I refuse to pay $60 on one, I mean SERIOUSLY). But then I think, man, when do I have time to SEW? (And does my sewing machine even work anymore?)<\/p>\nI also fully admit that I am going to be buying the full Baby Einstein DVD set. One desperate afternoon when Kate was done playing with her toys but not yet ready for a nap, she was fussing and whining and I was at a loss so I went on YouTube and found some Baby Einstein video clips. She sat on my lap for over 10 full minutes, quiet and interested. So I bought one. I played it on the TV and set her up in her bouncer in front of it. And it worked!!! That gives me 10-15 minutes to eat, pee, clean up the kitchen or throw on a load of laundry. That’s her limit and it seems to work only once a day, but that could be my saving grace. If I could put her down as a matter of course I wouldn’t have bothered, but when she will only play on the floor if I’m entertaining her and still naps on me 99% of the time I need something<\/i> to give me a break.
