Diapering_: Diaper pinning

Thanks to Marie, Catherine & Toni for this Frugal Baby Tip!

Catherine wrote: I pin on an angle - with the head of the pin higher
than the other end,and pointing away from the baby's body. This is
recommended, so that if the pin *should* open, it is less likely to
stick the baby.

Marie wrote: I have always pinned my baby's diapers at an angle, and
recently have actually started using 4 pins, pinning one pair at an
angle, and the other straight across. This seems to help keep the
diapers snugger and keep them from drooping. The more active my dd
has gotten, the harder it's been to keep them from drooping around
her little butt. Using 4 is a bit of a pain, but it seems to be
working!

Toni wrote: I double pin my diapers. The first go straight across
near the top. The second set go below that. Near the bottom at an
angle that follows the way the diaper lays across the thigh.
