The Power of the Diaper!

Friday, May 07, 2010

Since I just gave birth on April 14th and had too take a class at the hospital before they would let me take my two adorable boys home--I thought I would share a tip from the nursery at Baptist Hospital. DIAPERS MAKE THE BEST, THE GREATEST REUSABLE ICE PACKS!

I have already used them on my poor Fred Flintstone feet and wow. So here's what you do:

#1 Get a diaper, open it up, run it under the faucet a couple times and fill it up!

#2 Freeze.

#3 When you need a ice pack--try the frozen diaper--it molds! I molded the diaper around my foot and ankle--so cool.

#4 As the water melts, the diaper absorbs it back up...no joke.

#5 Back into the freezer.

PS My dad wanted a little more pressure, when he used one on his knee--so he wrapped it with a rubber band.
