"First off, let me say it is wonderful ta have ya helpin' me out here, Babs." Applebloom began in the living room when nopony else was around, "Especially since i'm so busy with the farm work and all."
"It's no trouble at all, Couz." Babs modestly replied as she shut the doors to make sure this was private training, "It's the least i could do for you hiding me from the Marefia for a while. Who knows? I might end up moving here once the Marefia business blows over."
"Alrighty then, ah'll start ya off with a few simple steps." Applebloom said as she flipped over a piece of paper on a portable whiteboard, "This is what mothers call Breastfeeding." Applebloom said as the picture revealed a foal sucking at another pony's teats.
"Breastfeeding? I thought you needed to have a womb for that sorta thing." Babs said, looking a little confused.
"That's not true, ya see, a few months back, it was scientifically proven that anypony in Equestria could breastfeed, as long as they take two of these mothering pills a day." Applebloom explained as she showed a bottle full of the yellow pills, "Just make sure to take precisely TWO pills. Any more could make the breast milk taste wrong and any less could produce no breast milk at all."
"Take two pills a day, no more, no less." Babs was writing into a small notepad she took out of her flank pocket, "OK, got it!"
"Ah see yer using a notepad." Applebloom said once Babs had finished writing, "It's always a good thing to keep infermation close by in case ya ferget anything when working."
"Well, my family always said i had to be ready for anything."
"Let's move on." Applebloom flipped over the paper again revealing a drawn-in diaper, "Ah suppose ya know what this here thing is."
"I know, it's a diaper." Babs said as she let Applebloom continue.
"When yer affixing diapers to yer foal, make sure ya take the old one off first. It's very bad mothering to cover up a soiled diaper with a fresh one!" Applebloom said as Babs took in every word, making sure to write the last words in capitals, "Now then, when yer applying a new diaper, make sure ya sprinkle foal powder on it first. Diaper Rash often occurs when ya don't apply the powder, and that doesn't really end well for the foals, or yer night's sleep."
"So i've got to take off the soiled diaper first and then start with the new one?" Babs asked once she stopped writing.
"Eeyup. Oh, and make sure ya throw the old diaper into the trash, nopony wants to smell soiled diapers at any given point in time."
Babs raised her hoof once Applebloom stopped. She wanted to ask a question.
"Should i change them when they poop? Or when they wet themselves?" Babs asked, looking a little confused.
"Whenever either one of the two options occurs." Applebloom said, "Do it if they poop or wet themselves, they may even do both, so just be ready to change them and watch those diapers at all times. They could wet and/or poop themselves without even knowing it."
"Alright now, ah'm gonna take ya upstairs so ya can apply what ya...." Applebloom and Babs continued their little lessons as the camera shifts upstairs to the top floors.

Diamond and Silver were chasing each other round, swiftly dodging some of the toys and blocks scattered on the ground to avoid getting caught on some occasions. Eventually, they both tripped over, but instead of crying, they were actually enjoying their time on the floor. They picked themselves up and moved over to a nearby arrangement of blocks and began to arrange them to their desires.
"What do yoo tink bwought us to dis awtewnate weawity?" Silver asked as Diamond built the tower up higher and higher.
"I don't weawwy know what bwought us hewe." She began after setting another block down on top of another, "But someting tewws me it doesn't wanna take us back to ouw Equestwia." She was looking at her hoof again after she put the last block on top, "And i tink dat's good, i nevew wanna weave dis wowwd, i've been a hawdfwank aww my wife, and wooking back now, i feew kinda wegwetfuw fow what i did. I don't wanna go thwough dat same wife again and again and again. I wanna fwest stawt, and dis new wife as a foaw is pewfect."
Silver knocked over the tower and giggled as the rainbow of colours was tumbling in front of her and Diamond. Once she clearly saw her friend again, Silver noticed Diamond was sucking on her hoof again.
"Actuawwy, i wondew what dat feews wike in dis state?" Silver raised her hoof slightly and brought it closer and closer to her mouth. Once she plopped it in, she felt a lot more content and blissful and toppled onto her back, still sucking, "Wow, dis is wondewfuw. I don't evew wanna stop." She was kept sucking until she fell asleep. Diamond quickly followed suit and the two of them were next to each other, sucking on their hooves at they napped on the floor.
"Aww, that's cute." Applebloom said faintly as the two foals started to wake up, "Afternoon, girls. Did ya have a nice nap?"
The foals were about to speak, but then remembered that Applebloom and Babs could not understand their foal talk yet, so they nodded in cute unison.
Applebloom was about to say something, before she saw a wet patch on their both Diamond and Silver's diapers, "Babs, this is the perfect opportunity to test what ya learned today."
"I see." Babs nodded her head as she looked down on the foals.
"Mama, ouw diapees awe wet." The foals said together, causing D'aww faces to grow on the two apple farmers' faces.
"Ah know, ya both wet yerselves, didn't ya?" Applebloom said as she picked Silver up in her muzzle and took her over to the changing table.
"Applebloom, you handle Silver. I've got Diamond." Babs said as she took Diamond up in her mouth and laid her down next to Silver Spoon.
Applebloom quickly took Silver's soiled diaper off and took it over to the trashcan, with Babs quickly copying her actions. After that little chore was done, Applebloom took out two diapers and the bottle of foal powder and hoofed a diaper over to Babs. Applebloom then sprinkled the foal powder onto Silver's new diaper before giving it to Babs, who quickly did the same with Diamond's diaper. Once they finished that step, Applebloom and Babs quickly and gently raised the two foals' flanks before setting them down again on the foal powdered diapers. Then they finished the changing process by making all three ends of each diaper meet and tying the tapes at the sides snug and secure.
"Nice work, Babs!" Applebloom said as the two foals were set back onto the padded part of the room, "Ya changed a diaper."
"No sweat, if that's all it'll take to raise little Diamond and Silver here, this mothering business should be a snap." Babs said as she took in her accomplishment.
It wasn't long before the foals started playing again, that Babs and Applebloom both heard a rumbling noise coming from the two foals.
"Oh, they're hungry." Babs said once they both picked up the noise.
"Babs, quick. Take two of the pills." Applebloom hoofed the pill bottle over to her and Babs swiftly downed two yellow pills before walking with Applebloom towards the two foals.
"I think somepony's hungry." Babs cooed with a sweet yet urban tone as she lifted Silver up in her muzzle and set her down on Applebloom's bed.
"Ah think it's time ya had yer supper, you two." Applebloom quickly did the same thing with Diamond Tiara, picked her up in her muzzle and set her next to Silver Spoon.
After that, the two mares cocooned the two foals in their legs. They were a bit surprised when they were feeding separately, but they quickly shrugged it off once their tummies rumbled again. They quickly headed over to Applebloom's/Babs's teats and began to nurse once more. They slightly fell asleep as they received their equal portions of breast milk and quickly woke up a little once they had stopped feeding.
It was at this time that Applebloom and Babs patted their customer's back ten times at the exact same time, forcing out decent foalish belches from the two foals.
"How do ya feel, Babs?" Applebloom asked once they let the foals play for their last minutes of the current day, "Not too embarrassed or anything like that?"
"Actually, i feel great." Babs said as she gently stroked Diamond on the back whilst she was being fitted into a foalish dress with Applebloom's help, "I thought at first i would be embarrassed, but then i remembered, we're all alone up here, and tomorrow, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo have to wake up early for work tomorrow. So it's not all that bad, at least my couz is right here beside me."
"Glad ta know ya feel that way." Applebloom then got another dress, different in colour but almost the same, and gently clothed Silver Spoon with it, "There we go. My sweet little sisters, no matter what happens from here on out, always remember, you'll always be our little princess foals."
"Hehe. Tanks, Mama." The two foals said before chasing each other again in their new foalish outfits, giggling all the while.
For the next 30 minutes, Applebloom, Babs, Diamond and Silver played as the sunset began to form in the windows. After the two foals had stopped, Applebloom and Babs were playing peekaboo with Diamond and Silver, making them giggle uncontrollably every time Applebloom and Babs revealed their faces again.
"Aww, is it really that time already?" Applebloom said as the sunset finally vanished, revealing the night sky. Once she saw the moon in its' prime position, she gestured towards Babs that it was bedtime for Diamond and Silver.
"Girls. It's bedtime now." Babs said as she picked up the two foals, interrupting their princessy roleplaying and set them down in the crib again.
"Aww, weawwy?" Diamond said as Applebloom tucked them in.
"Ah'm afraid so, girls. but don't be sad just because one day is over." Applebloom reassured them, "A new day will start soon and then when it does, we'll have ever so much more fun together. And always remember, Mama's gonna keep ya'll safe."
Babs quickly pressed a secret switch on the back of the crib, and a mobile with rainbows and clouds appeared above Diamond and Silver. Babs quickly pressed another button, and the mobile started to play soothing music to the two foals.
"I wuv yoo, Mama." Diamond said before the mobile's music carried her off into dreamland.
"I wuv yoo too, Mama." Silver said before she too was moved by the music and fell asleep.
"Have a good night's sleep, Diamond, Silver." Applebloom then kissed their foreheads and waited until the mobile had stopped playing its' song before she turned out the lights and headed back downstairs with Babs Seed.
