Actually, I DID suggest this.  I suggested (to the daughter, who I got
when I phoned after we left) to use a facecloth, rag of some sort, or
even paper towel.  Maybe she'll prefer the paper towel route, and if
meconium gets on it it won't be so important as if it were on a
facecloth.  ;-)

I have seen one name brand here with little happy faces that disappear
when wet.  HOWEVER, this name brand is useless as far as keeping
anything in the diaper (solid or liquid matter) for more than about 5
minutes, and I would not recommend it to anyone!  ;-(
