Hello everyone! I find diapering my baby very dramatic. When it comes to diapers, there are many things to consider. You need to keep the mess down, prevent diaper rash, and navigate your baby's clothes with a variety of tearing (or tearing) methods. Besides, you need to calm a constantly crying baby. So, can anyone here suggest kidswear that tends to make diaper changing easier?

Zippered pajamas! My son lived mostly in zippered jammies unless we were going somewhere special. The zipper on them made it really easy to unzip, change his diaper, and then zip him back up again. He often even kicked his legs back into the pajama legs.

I hated anything with buttons--I never used them!

I did use onsies with the little snap under their bottom. During the summer my kids usually just had a onsie--my daughter liked dresses, so I'd put a onsie with a dress over it--the dress could go above her bottom during to changing, so it stayed out of the way.

When I put pants on my kids, I mostly used the ones with elastic waistbands and stretchy cotton cloth. Those were a lot easier to put on than stiff jeans that had snaps or buttons.

So, in ranking of usefulness for changing, I'd say:

- Zippered pajamas
- Snapped onsies
- Dresses
- Stretchy pants (I especially liked the ones that had feet on them, so I didn't have to put on socks...the socks inevitably fell off, anyway!)
 
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
