Nearly giving up - poop on wool
I continue to get poop on wool covers and I feel super defeated - is there any hope left?
I don’t really want to buy a bunch of new stuff… + I already need disposables for daycare.
I’m thinking it’s partly my situation and not that I just somehow am terrible at diaper folding??
Status -
Folds: I’ve tried many folds - origami, pikmin, kite, angel wing, variation padfolds + jelly rolling + snappi
Plan: I set out to use flats + wool from the beginning.
Experience:
I used wool + flats from 6 weeks until 6mo (solids). I was afraid of “real poop” and my husband wasn’t on board. Poop almost always got on wool covers during this period too.
I started using cloth again now for a few months, since my son is getting closer to potty training (currently 23mo) - I’ve figured out “real poop” and it’s not so scary… except it still almost always gets on my wool cover. I’ve been trying all sorts of troubleshooting and still no luck (different folds, tighter at legs, room for poop.. etc etc etc)
My son:
My son is really small for his age and has always been.. he was 5.5lb at birth. He’s about 18lb now at 23mo. To say, he’s never had real chunky thighs and I’m sure that contributes a bit to diaper fit issues.
My son also poops 2-3x per day… almost never solid, always a little loose.
Is it hopeless? I either quit or accept cleaning wool for every poop? I’m due with baby 3 in July. I can’t commit to spot cleaning and hand washing wool every day.
