There are many things which the other Tom has said that I would agree with ! Ie trying everything else first and checking medically and useing Nappies as a last resort and as the other Tom stated that a child who is in a nappy should bonly wear it jusimmediatly before bed and not lounge around in it before bedtime and it should be taken off immediately the child wakes up and is mobile! as Tom said It is sending the wrong messages to the child he mentioned about denise's Daughter could be prone to likeing nappies as she is soiling personally i feel it could be 1. an attention thing or two a psychological thing in which a specialist needs to be consulted in one post it says a child would not purposely mess itself to gain attention to itself well i certainly would disagree and if yoou would read child behaviour books you would find that it can happen ie especially if there is more than one child in the family!!.i Feel Denise should consult a specialist as we are not professionals in this field! and I wish denise all the very best with her daughter best wishes all Tom.UK
