The biggest butt

Today Bram is wearing the woolen 'soakers' I made him for the first time.
Thanks to grandma Dineke, who had a whole bottle of lanoline in her closet, I was finally able to waterproof them.
I have to say: they work wonderfully. Even when the cotton diaper is soaking wet the soaker still feels completely dry on the outside.

But...
Or should I say: butt...
Or should I say: BUTT...

Let me make this point in pictures:


Pampers.









Cotton diaper.









Cotton diaper covered by woolen soaker.









Cotton diaper covered by woolen soaker covered by bodysuit.








I did not try to put normal pants over the bodysuit, I think Bram is warm enough now (-:

Just imagine regular clothes on top of all of this:











Anyone more experienced with cotton diapers reading my blog who can comment on this???

I am now planning on using these indoors only, and leaving out the regular pants. I will make some woolen soakers in a regular pants shape that I can use without extra clothes, so Bram won't look so silly.

So, another trip to the yarn shop, and back to the knitting needles it is...

how come you use both pampers and a cotton diaper? i thought the idea was to use one type?

Annemarie, may I be honest? It doesn't look very comfortable...so many layers, so thick, can be very warm. Well, you know what is best for him.

I LOVE the pictures. I really respect that you take such efforts to make him comfortable AND help the environment. :)

Annemarie, ziet er goed uit die soakers! Maarre....waarom de romper? Hou je niet van lekker babybuikjes? Ok, ik "durfde" ze ook pas bij de 3e totaal weg te laten maar Indigo is erg gelukkig zonder. Scheelt weer een laagje. En de soaker werkt beter zonder de drukkende laag romper erover.
