I went to a luncheon sponsored by my woman's club and since we were donating disposable diapers to a local charity a crafty member made favors for the table by folding napkins into a diaper and using a big blue diaper pin. She filled the diapers with chocolate candy. I saved my diaper pin and I wonder where on earth she found enough to make favors for everyone. My baby is 61 years old also and I wish I had saved some of the cute pins I used. I had birds, ducks, flowers, etc. Many happy memories.

I went to a baby shower abut 8 years ago, a friend of the future grandma. One of the games that I got caught having to play, was can you diaper a bear. The bear was about the size of a 3 month old, and then they said you are blindfolded and its a cloth diaper! I just looked at all the young people around me and thought really? It took me less than a minute and when I stood the bear up the diaper didn't fall off. It was a little difficult getting the pins thru the 4 layers of diaper since I folded it over at the tops to make it small enough. Remember one size fits all! just fold to make it smaller. I think it took the other girl (friend of the mother to be) about 15 minutes and it didn't stay on. If I remember correctly they move on to a different game quickly. I told them I had two in diapers and we were in the military, cloth was cheaper than those fancy disposables. But when the girls had to go to a sitter I had to provide disposables, so I did have to use them sometimes.

This was a fun post, I remember when I had my daughter, she was the first and now is 49yrs old, when I changed her diaper, I accidently pinned her to it, I didn't know I had done that till I picked her up off the changing table and she stared to scream, them like a dummy I put rubbing alcohol on it so it wouldn't get infected (nope didn't know what I was doing) laugh about it now but I didn't then, I cried and called my husband and told him I was going to be put in jail for abusing our baby, he just laughed at me. MEN! I still have her diaper pins and the one I pinned to her.

Running the business end of the pin through my hair at change-time was something I did back in the day when I used to babysit (teen years), cloth diapers and rubber pants were in vogue back then. Swore by it as a mom, too, especially when fastening bulky double diapers.
Yuppers, put all my kids through rubber pants. Yes to Gerber! Nothing beat the old Gerber's!
Gerber rubber pants were truly the only rubber pants I found that stood up to being laundered with the diapers, unlike cheaper brands which would rip, tear, and fall apart when subjected to the rigors of my old top-loading agitator washing machine.
Diapers and rubber pants were hung to dry on the clothesline.

Did everyone double and triple diaper in their homes, too?
Was always double diapers when I babysat, so did the same with my own gang... double diapers with rubber pants (daytime), triple diapers with rubber pants (nighttime), and I remember diapering my baby brother the same.
