Reply from Joan, Child's Age 14 - 5/7/02 - IP#: 80.225.20.30Bill – I put my son in a nappy for long car journeys, but only because he usually falls asleep and sleep wets. I certainly wouldn’t nappy/diaper him for pure convenience. You don’t say whether your son needs to go to the toilet at unusually frequent intervals, so that toilet stops may be difficult or impossible. If this is the case, then diapering him may be justified, but if he can hold on for an hour or two, then I think it would be totally wrong to diaper him just for your convenience. Take a look at this month’s poll, and you will see that inappropriate diapering could lead to diaper dependence and maybe even diaper fetish. |
