The post Options for Presko Time Breathable Cloth Diapers appeared first on Happy Pinay Mommy.
]]>For moms who are new at cloth diapering, the term “presko time” may be quite confusing as one of the main objectives behind cloth diapering is to provide a “presko” or breathable alternative to Disposable Diapers.
But for cloth diapering veterans, “presko time” means letting your little one wear a cloth diaper that does not have PUL or TPU which is the component that makes cloth diapers water proof. TPU and PUL are usually used on covers, AIOs, and pockets.
For moms with older infants and toddlers, presko time can even consist of just wearing underwear, Lampin or flats, lampin or flats plus underwear, stay dry insert or soaker plus underwear, or even just going plain commando, or butt naked.
So why have Presko Time? Well, to allow your baby’s skin to breathe. And while this is not a hard and fast rule of cloth diapering, further on into your cloth diapering career, you will see the need for it. How? When baby suddenly has rashes, ask any experienced cloth mama and she will tell you to go “presko time” several times a day, if not the whole day until the rash disappears, and just continue using your usual stay dry system at bedtime.
Another reason why veteran cloth mamas, or even your baby’s pediatrician will advise you to have “presko time” is when your baby just had a bout of UTI or Urinary Tract Infection. This is because one of the causes of UTI is wearing soaked or soiled diapers for a long period of time. This is also applicable to Disposable Diapers, hence the rule of thumb or SOP is to change diapers (regardless if it is disposable or cloth) every two to three hours except at bedtime, unless of course the diapers are fully soaked already or have been soiled before the two to three hour mark.
