On puddle pads:  If you keep looking, you can buy the material in  a large
sheet, at least a yard square.  Use it that way for mother during the last
few weeks of pregnancy, in case her water breaks at home.  Then cut it up in
appropriate sizes for baby.

On ointments and powders:  our favorite ointment was zinc oxide, which
doesn't smell like fish and seems to come out of the diaper a little more
easily.  Our favorite powder was corn starch.  I think you can even buy
"baby corn starch" now, but I don't know if it is any different from the
laundry aid.  Don't use talcum powder!  It's bad for everyone's lungs.
