Cloth Diapering

child care stash question

I'm hiring a nanny and going back to work.  I'm having a hard time wanting anyone but my H and I using our AIOS.  I have 8 covers tuckable covers and 24 prefolds.  If I prefold and tuck for her do you think 1.  Its reasonable to ask her to use those and 2.  Is that a good amount of prefolds if I am asking her to exclusively use those.  I am torn between going crazy and buying a bunch of kawaii just for her to use or buying another dozen prefolds.  What say you guys?

Re: child care stash question

  • Can I ask why you hesitate to let the nanny use the AIOs? And, yes, I think it's reasonable to have her/him use the prefolds/covers. Wouldn't be much more difficult than an AIO if the covers are prestuffed.

    I just love my stash and don't want to ever have to write a "OMG look what the nanny did to my dipe" post.  Honestly, its a lame issue and it isn't rational, but*  if I can easily fix it with the other stuff I have I'm going to go with it.  Also Lola's changing station is in my bedroom and it is where I store her dipes.  I do not want the nanny in my room.  So I figure I'll set up a small station downstairs and prefolds and covers take up much less space.  I could be less lazy and just count her out dipes every morning, but meh.

  • I think in a nanny situation prefolds are reasonable.

  • Perfectly reasonable to do the pfs. I say if she can't figure it out, can her ass ;)

    But really, they're not difficult

    I don't think it's unreasonable either. I don't know why dc insist on aio or pockets. Seriously 3 seconds more. But I accepted everything and just happy to have students in cloth.
  • Sounds fine as long as you show her how to use them. I only send certain diapers to daycare - I totally understand your feeling about that! (I'm going to have a chat tomorrow about how they should not unsnap the rise and how they should not fold the diaper together like a sposie after its used and attach the velcro to the outside of the PUL....argh...) But...that's why I only send certain ones to daycare.

  • so should I buy another dozen prefolds and just wait and see if the 24 is enough?

  • I say it's totally legit to have your nanny using prefolds. I mean, I get why daycares need AIOs/pockets, since there are always different people rotating and changing diapers. If you're paying one nanny, she should be able to figure the darn things out.

  • Even though our nanny clearly didn't work out, she did use mostly flats and prefolds, she actually preferred the flats. So yes, I would say very reasonable

    Oh and I'd specify that you don't want her in your room. When I got home I found the nanny in my bed.. .yes not even on it but IN it. I had no words... People are weird.

  • Haha she was just sitting there holding the baby. He was asleep. I was so shocked and weirded/grossed out (I'm a slight germaphobe) that I didn't ask why she was in our bed. She was pretty surprised to see me.

  • I know...crazy. All I cared about was getting my baby in my arms. I kind of wish I would have asked...just to hear her logic about why it seemed appropriate or a good idea.
