Greetings! Ahem... Now that I've been a dad for a little over four weeks,
I will draw from my "well-of-knowledge" and share with you what I know
concerning lubrication of pins.(snicker...) We have a bar of soap (ivory)
that we use as a pin holder which also lubricates the pin for easier
insertion through the diaper. (This method was suggested by my mother-in-
law)

We use both cloth and disposable diapers. We use disposable at night
since they seem to keep our baby dryer for a longer time. They are
also easier to handle (no pins) when your half asleep. Personally, I like
the cloth diaper (Once I got the hang of putting them on) because
they seem more comfortable to Sarah Beth and I can tell when she
needs a change alot easier. Of course she lets me know pretty
quick when she needs a change.

so long,
Dave Schumacher
