All out of diapers, the diapers are all in the wash - or you left the diaper bag at home or in the car??

Repeat with the other side, to form a tapered end (cross over each side in the middle) at the T-shirt hem.

Place baby's bottom on the center of the T-shirt.

Wrap the sides around baby's tummy.
