[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 33705, member: 1514"] The post on poop reminded me of diapers but I have also been talking to other moms recently about how much better the products have become in the baby care arena. I dont consider myself that ancient (LOL) but when my oldest was born disposable diapers were awful! They were around but people made a conscious choice between cloth and disposables. And then when you made that choice...you had to decide on if you were going to wash them yourself or have a diaper service. I remember watching the trucks delivering diapers. It was a great baby shower gift! The disposable diapers were so thin back then and they gapped and leaked badly. By the time the next two came along disposables had improved but they were now really thick but they still leaked and didnt fit well. And they had tape that stuck on there permanently so if you missed, you either lived with it or used a new diaper. I remember buying these huge boxes of diapers for a weeks worth. Today you can fit the same amount into a package the size of 2 loaves of bread. Todays diapers are so thin and they have velcro tabs so you can take a peak and reseal them! Unreal...lol. And then there are the sippy cups. OMG! I remember the cups where the juice just poured out when the baby tipped the cup upside down. No more. Now they are spillproof. Not only that, they have various textures of spouts so that baby can adjust to going off the bottle with no problem. I love it! No leaks, no fuss, no mess! I love bringing up baby in the 21st Century! [/QUOTE]
