Premium Nappies

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. If the child wears a nappy to bed then it saves the parents the hassle of cleaning messy sheets and allows the child some sleep (needed if your immune system is to recover.) 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?

2. If you ever get Cryptosporidia you will want one yourself... if you need one you need one.... I hope you never get that... it is HELL on Earth... it is truly the s**ts
3. i dont think i would put one on even on my 3 year old she would just get so upset. i think you just have to take your chances i think id get a matres protector and cross my fingers.
4. In the circumstances you describe there should be no age limit!
5. get the kid to a doctor......
6. The better question is, why is the child HAVING diarrhea in the first place; that needs to be addressed.
7. any age i love to see an older kid with a thick nappy slaped beween there legs and to run my finger in to the nappy to se the mess
