Les Jones: Baby Diapers

April 30, 2004

News > Baby Diapers

The latest trend among the new tribal is diaperless babies. Note to mine and Melissa's friends: our baby will be very much diaperful. Please don't stop inviting us to your house once the baby's born. We'll double bag the kid if it makes you feel better.

In the '80s some people looked down on disposable diapers because they were supposedly clogging landfills. That turned out to be false. Now there's another debate over cloth vs. disposable diapers based on junk or non-existent science.

Didn't do the cloth diaper/no diaper thing. But did do the breastfeeding/"co-sleeping" thing.

This combination is the greatest advance in work-shirking for the male of the species since the invention of the leaf blower. Sure, it's sort of annoying to have the kid in bed with you, but that's far outwighed by the fact that Melissa will have full and complete responsiblity for nighttime feeding. You will have almost no night time chores, other than the occasional diaper change. No waking up at 1 am to mix up formula, no tromping off to the kid's room at 3:30 am to give it a bottle. Blissful, sleep filled nights (at least for you), here they come!
