Helping Dad Use Cloth

Many moms use pockets and aio's to help dad CD baby.  But if you prefer Fitted's and prefolds like I do, have no fear, dad can CD too! 

Fitted's are as easy as an AIO or pocket in my opinion.  It does up just like a sposie but you add a cover.  Its an extra step, not rocket science.  A Velcro cover is often preferred by men.  Many men hate snaps (I do too).  Wool soakers, shorties, longies....my hubby likes these.  Pull them on and the diaper has a cover and baby is dressed!  He likes these over wrap style covers.  It suits his sensibilities.

Prefolds. 
There are many folds and they can be googled, this site here does a great job. 
So how to get dad to do this?  Simple, fold prefolds fresh out of the laundry and put away folded.  Angel fold is best for this, and ooey fold.  Then get dad to help you fold diaper laundry.  It is so much easier to learn this way.  No baby crying at change time, easy, low stress and repetitive.  Did I teach monkey's dad this way?  No, my teen daughter did lol.  He was so pleased to show me what she taught him.  And if he doesn't quite get it, using it when already folded is easy, easier for you too then folding at change time.

Butterfly Fitted's are my hands down favorite diaper, dad likes it too.  He hates my pins but loves snappi's.  Now he did try to put this on with wings unfolded.  I laughed till I cried!  Once shown (at laundry folding time) he was all good to go.  I do have to say he realized it didn't look right.  He put it on and with wings hanging down monkey's thighs said "is this right?". 

So once again I vote go old school.  It isn't as hard as it seems.  And dads are all about performance so they don't like leg wicking.  I have hybrid Fitted's.  My teens prefer these but dad does not.  Yes they are easy to use but it comes to performance and he doesn't like that they aren't waterproof should monkey have a super long nap in a stroller, or that sometimes they need covers and sometimes they don't. 

So there you have it.
•put diapers away ready to use
•have some snappi's on hand
•pull on wool covers or Velcro wrap style covers.
