Owen is developing really cute love handles and a Buddha belly. His butt is still fairly tiny and hasn’t kept up with his belly growth. Now that he kicks his legs really frequently and vigorously, he can work his diaper down his body, leading to plumber’s butt and diaper disaster. I’ve been pondering solutions for preventing Owens’s clothes from turning into a superfund site, but so far have only come up with ideas for diaper suspenders, judicious use of duct tape, or putting him in bigger diapers that will fasten above his belly (like old man pants).
That is a toughy. I wonder if they have those butt bras for kids…you know, those awful hosiery with pads in them? I swear I saw some lady with those on and a spandex to boot. It wasn’t pretty. I guess you could try double sided tape or a bunjee cord, or a make shift diaper belt. I don’t think the suspenders are all that bad of an idea; you could probably sell them on e-bay! Whatever solution you manage, put it in the book (that’s the one I hope your writing for all future moms to learn by).
Glad all is well!
