Reply from Tom, Child's Age none - 5/17/02 - IP#: 159.39.16.14This may or may not be a problem, depending on the reason for using diapers on a trip by train. Some kids wet the bed because their bladder is too small to make it through the night, and a small bladder will also result in frequent trips to the bathroom during the day. Some children will wet if they fall asleep for only a couple of hours. If the girls nap during the train ride then diapers may be necessary. On the other hand, some parents will do anything - even use diapers - to avoid public restrooms, especially for small girls. Parents of small children tend to be particular about hygiene, and in their value system keeping a child away from possible infection and disease is more important than keping her pants dry. You may think its silly, but your daughter is probably very serious about raising healthy kids. |
