That was a bizarre time period. I wonder why moms didn’t start hoarding baby diapers at the time. Can you imagine what happens if the supply chain collapses and you run out of diapers? Having enough toilet paper will be the last of your worries at that time.

Fortunately, all of those fears were unfounded, but they were also directed towards some weird items too. If you want to worry about something, toilet paper isn’t really very high on that list.

We had a baby that was finished breast and on to bottle milk in the thick of the pandemic lockdowns.

There were some shortages but I distinctly remember there being two boxes of formula left after a mild shortage, some mild concern setting in but suppressing the monkey brain and leaving one behind as I thought about the other parent that was going to come along behind me.

I think mums and dads are more likely to think about the other baby and be less grabby. Pure speculation. We didn’t have much toilet roll hoarding here though either.

Im glad this was not one of those weird items that everyone lost their minds over unnecessarily.

I mean, there were times without these mondern diapers. If you have a baby you will have plenty of different cloths that you can use as a diaper if necessary. Just like your able to get clean down there without TP. Bizzare times indeed.

Random bonus fact: Back then many Babies were potty trained by the time they were one year old just because its more work to diaper your child up with cloth diapers and clean them after use.

  Right, you just use, you know, non-disposable diapers in that case.
