daily dirty diapers >= size of baby - _MG_6851

    used here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here

    joslyn and cameron sent us a big supply of hypo-allergenic, chlorine-free, environmentally-friendly disposable diapers. last night when i undressed sequoia for his bath, i realized that the volume of his daily diaper output far exceeds the size of his tiny body. even sequoia appears impressed with this accomplishment. thanks for the lovely gift joslyn & cameron! (as you can see, your gift has been thoroughly enjoyed).

      Isn't technology great? Imagine what it must have been like back in the olden days when most babies used cloth diapers. I heard about a set of twins that used a total of 28 dozen cloth diapers every single week, and their parents didn't even have a washing machine!

      this photo should be on the cover of national geographic. sequoia's expression is incredible!

      wait, 28 dozen diapers / week works out to 24 diapers per baby per day. for real?

      Sean, the high count of cloth diapers/day (and diapers washed each week) is partly due to

      * the thread-bare condition of the diapers (some probably
      handed down from their older sibling, who shall remain
      Sean); and partly due to

      * the remarkable 'productiveness' of the twins, who were
      mighty thirsty kids, seldom seen wobbling around without
      a bottle or tippy-cup of one fluid or another.

      Consequently, the twins often faced the world each wearing
      two diapers.

      I have a photo from 1976 of Rachel about this age that looks identical to Sequoia's expression. I need to find it and scan it. Will post here someday when I do.

      This is a great demonstration of the nonsense of our society. Let's build a wolrd covered with trash for our children to grow up. Let's change these habits and use washable diapers.

      Washable diapers? EWWWW YUCK, how disgusting!
      Let's just learn how to recycle www.knowaste.com

    21. KnitStorm (26 months ago | reply)

      Agreed Yannou. I cloth diaper my little guy. It's ridiculously easy and cheaper than disposables in the long run. I'm never turning back!

    22. Dr Beary / Disposal Alternatives (24 months ago | reply)

      Ahhhh?
      Whats wrong with this pic???
      A little photo-shopping maybe?
      Each of those diapers are bigger than this baby's head, you could wrap the baby in one from head to toe!.......LOL!

      no photoshop, 50mm lens wouldn't distort the relative size of things.

      Hmmm? No offense, those diapers just look really big in comparison to the baby...
      Great pics though....;)

      I just saw this photo being used in a Facebook page update, which linked to a Huffington Post article. However, in the article I don't see the photo. But here's the Facebook page! www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/GrowinGreenBums1 ?ref=ts
