Pattern for washable pee pads? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

McheleM · 07-20-2011, 04:03 AM

Does anyone have a pattern for washable pee pads? I am in school to become a midwife and have 15-20 hospital pads that I would like to make washable pads for my babies, but can't find an actual pattern anywhere.

Anyone??

TIA

Midwife,no kidding that is great! I used to be a doula at hospital and home births. Our last two were born at home. Who would of known.

Peepads: I would think if you have washable hospital pads,you could lay cute flannel over each side and serge or zigzag to the size you want,trim if there is extra fabric.

How funny!! I am off today and was just going to do this to the pads I use. I have a bunch of the hospital pads that I use. I am so tired of looking at the ugly generic white tops.

My baby absolutely will NOT use peepads. This winter is not going to be fun and as much as she loves baths and the pool,she really hate the rain. SIGH ,,,,, I did try to get her to keep using them when she came to me.

I make my own. I do not use a pattern. I just cut them to fit the plastic tray I have. 16" by 20" when finished. I sew them like a pillow case, then turn right side out for last hem. I also sort of quilt them, every 4 " I sew a seam from hem to hem both ways. This works beautifully and like the other ladies above, I use flannel or cute 100 % cotton print that I prewash.

That sounds like sooo much more fun than sewing

I hope you and Kerra Ann had fun and didn't get burnt.
