At what age should I stop putting nappies on my son at bedtime? He's three, and his nappies are still pretty wet in the morning. I have heard it's really a brain-chemical issue, that kids just aren't ready until a certain age which differs with them all. He's right next to the bathroom and certainly would understand to go the toilet if he wakes up at night, but I don't really see a need to rush the process. I explained once that one day he won't wear nappies at night, but will use the toilet like during the day, and he thought for a minute then said, "Would you leave the bathroom door open?" , so intellectually he has a grip on the concept. Thanks for your help.

upto what age are nappies during the night for diarrhea acceptable? If a child has quite bad diarrhea it is fine to have them sit on or near the toilet all day but at night this is inpractical.

I know of lots of parents who do this with younger children (5 and below.) But at what age does it become unacceptable to put a child in a nappy for this reason? 6, 8, or mabye older? What do you think?

How do you get the stains out of nappies?!? I've just started using cloth nappies, and am having trouble getting poo stains out!! My baby is breastfed so nothing too nasty yet, just very messy (sorry to be so graphic, folks)! I rinse them to get the muck off, then soak them over night in nappy soak before putting them in the wash, but they are coming out still stained, especially in the elasticated part. I paid a small fortune for them, so very disappointed I can't keep them bright white - what's the secret?!

Are Chinese electric self drying nappies economical in the long run ? They have little elements built in which allow you to just hose the nappie down without removing it from the baby and the miniature solar panels dry it almost immediatey. p.s. For those mums who do not have access to a hosepipe the same result can be obtained by sitting baby in lukewarm water and moving lightly to and fro, whilst singing Be Baw Babbity. To e-mail customers, the Mark 1 version of this product is not now in production, as babies were having difficulties dragging heavy electrical cables over the floor.
