Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Matt took off Gabe's morning diaper and, on a whim, handed it to . dutifully carried it over to the trash can and dropped it in. (Yes, I have a trash can out where the children can get it, and they leave it alone. I never thought this day would come!) !!!!! He just did it again, too. Took off his own (wet) and tossed it, then *came and got Gabe's from me* and took it to the trash too! COMPLETELY on his own initiative. -Sara. p.s. we've been in paper diapers since travelling for Christmas...and their bottoms are fine! =) Maybe we'll stick with this. 3 kids in cloth diapers was not something I was looking forward to, I must admit...

Then I will not feel guilty. After all I've been doing 2 kids in diapers & one of them having autism for, um, going on 2 years now. But then I did not think I had a choice as whenever we did use paper diapers (such as for weekend trips up to MI) always broke out in a bad rash which did not heal until he was back in cloth. Even when we used the very expensive fancy diapers with lotion and aloe and etc. built in, although those definitely helped, he would still have a rash by the end of the trip. > Oh, and a wrecked marriage. That helped too. Yes, I imagine so. -Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophie was like this. But after she was a certain age, she did get less sensitive so probably that is what happened with . Salli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Just curious, anyone know where I can get cloth diapers for a 130 pound 9 year old boy? how about a 7 year old 85 pound girl? If there is honestly such a thing, I would consider it. I have 3 kids in diapers at the moment. I figure its about 70$ a week. Any ideas would be appreciated. > > Two kids in diapers and one of them having autism is what ended ten plus > > years of cloth diapering for me. > > Then I will not feel guilty.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Try weebees.com They have child, youth, and adult sized rubber pants. I don't know if they have larger than toddler size diapers, but since they carry the pants they may be able to tell you where to find them. Also do a web search for adult cloth diapers. Be prepared to wade through the porn sites. Disgusting!!! Good luck!! -Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about trying a commercial diaper service or doing a web search for supplies? We have a commercial service here in town that primarily serves adult populations in nursing homes, care facilities, etc. I think that they have cloth available for their clients as well as disposables. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Ooooooh! What will he do if it's a dirty diaper, or are you not going to even go there? ;-) Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Actually I wrapped one of Gabe's up & taped it shut with the little tabs, and he tossed it for me. But the really yucky ones, no, I'm not going there. -Sara. > Ooooooh!

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 I don't know if this will work for you or not, but we used regular diapers inside of cloth underwear for the boys when they were in early elementary school and not trained yet. They would use the toilet when told to, but no control on their own to recognize when they had to go. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
