diaper help

[Guest guest]

I am wondering what tips you all have for diapering your kids while in the cast.

I'm reading whatever tips I can find on our site and thought I'd ask all of you

in an email since you have figured out what works. Violet has been in her cast

about a week and a half now, and we're still trying to figure it all out.

Currently we are using a women's incontinence pad tucked under her cast with a

diaper over the pad and cast. Any suggestions?
