Jan 25, 2013 at 2:10 comment added balanced mama @JimMcKeeth, I wouldn't expect my child to lie in the dirty diaper either. I am suggesting teaching him how to ask for help - he is two. Barring some sort of disability he should be able to learn he can go to mom or dad and say, "diaper dirty." Allowing him to get up to use the toilet if it occurs to him to do so before spoiling his diaper in the first place is also a good plan. Would you want some one to force you to lay in your own mess?
Jan 25, 2013 at 0:25 comment added Jim McKeeth @balancedmama: I'm not suggesting leaving your child duck taped into a soiled diaper. Sure, potty train them, by all means. But with our son he had no interest in potty training at the time, he just started taking his diaper off if he got stinky while in the crib, which is what I thought Yedida was asking about. Duck Tape is not an alternative to potty training or changing diapers. It just contains the mess, same as a diaper. You wouldn't suggest putting your child to bed without a diaper on before they were potty trained would you?
Nov 6, 2012 at 0:07 comment added balanced mama While it may be better not to have the child covered in poop, there is a way to teach them to ask for help instead. Ernie is absolutely right but particularly, he is probably saying not only that he is dirty but that perhaps it is time to toilet train.
May 19, 2011 at 7:21 comment added Jim McKeeth @Ernie: Totally, which is why I said check on the kid frequently and don't leave them in a soiled diaper. The thing is it is better to have them in a soiled diaper then to have them remove the diaper and cover their body with poop. Either way they will be in poop for how ever much time it takes you to notice they need changed. The duck tape just keeps the poop and diaper in a smaller area.
May 18, 2011 at 17:32 comment added Ernie Actually, it sounds like he's trying to tell his parents something - namely, that his diaper needs to be changed. Forcing the kid to wear the diaper anyway isn't cool, don'tchathink?
May 13, 2011 at 14:16 comment added Karl Bielefeldt Great idea. We use the white medical tape sometimes for diaper fasteners with inadequate adhesive. Not as strong as duct tape, but not as bad for your child's skin either if it accidentally gets on.
