I do not keep my son in....

Yes I do, but I have too. Well, sometimes I let her run a little without one to get some air.My daughter is only 19 months and not ready for the potty yet.She still has alot of wet diapers a day. If I didnt I would be cleaning up messes all day long. As for rashes, my daughter does have sensitive skin but I use a good cream on her that works well and can be used daily with no harm done. I think it is a good idea though to give your child so much air! But, I am curious, how old is your child? Does he not go to the bathroom on the floor?

nowadays you get very good diaperes that prevent rashes and also you get creams for rashes which gives very fast relief.i used to use cloth diapers when we are at home.only when we are supposed to go out do we use the other diapers.

I am a mother of 5 and I kept mine in a diaper all day when they were little babies. If I wouldn't have, I would of had poop and pee everywhere! Especially when I had more than one in diapers at the same time. It's good that you are able to leave the diaper off so much though. They do sometimes cause rashes. Good Luck to you and your baby!

Even a toddler who is in diapers still should be changed every time he/she wets. Who wants to sit in a wet diaper? Even if it's a good diaper a child should still be changed or checked every hour or 2. I think these new diapers that are out && suppose to hold more then a regular diaper should only be used at nights. Some diapers that hold a lot can make a parent lazy. It's really not that hard to stop what your doing && to change your child. I always ask the parents... "WOULD YOU WANT TO SIT IN A WET OR MESSY DIAPER?" As for nighttime, I cut off drinks past a certain time && then a fresh diaper right before bed && we change him in the mornings. During the day, I check him on && off all day. If wet, even the littlest, I change.

I let my children run around without diapers all the time when they were little. It's not healthy for them, as you said, to have their skin covered with a wet or dirty diaper. We spent a lot of time outside, too, so it wasn't messy if they did go potty without a diaper. In fact, they toilet-trained themselves soon after they began to walk and I think it's because they could see themselves going and it wasn't just an unseen feeling of wetness. They were more aware of their bodies. Good for you, you're a good mom!

What do you do when they have to go to the bathroom during the day with no diaper? I keep mine in diapers all day however we use cloth diapers because they do not get rashes with them, they allow their skin to breathe and are so much softer and comfortable on their skin. They are made just like disposable diapers and turned out a lot easier to use then I thought.

For me this routine was done many years back.At that time we never had this diaper available in the market.we had to get them through our relatives who lived abroad.I used the cloth napkins and quickly toilet trained my son.These disposable diapers were very dear to us and was used very rarely when we went out.Now the younger lot are quite lucky you have the market flooded with lots of things for the kids.That makes it more convenient for the mothers.During our time we had to depend on stuff from abroad.

kids should only be in diaper if they are outside home, if there will be limited access to cleaning stuffs or comfort room hehe poor kids if they have to bear with that stuff the whole day and they are just at home.

We havent had problems with diaper rash really, thank goodness as I cant imagine cleaning poop and pee up after 2 active babies. The only time we have had a problem was when the oldest of the 2 was teething and then all you had to do was use a diaper rash cream or baby powder and it didnt happen.

Normally, yes, I keep diapers on my babies all the time. I never understood whhow it works to leave a diaper off a baby all the time. I would imagine it can get very messy. Plus the urine running down their bare legs all the time can cause a rash just as easily as a diaper. None of mine ever "sat around" in a wet or dirty diaper either so maybe that's why I prefer diapers. But my diaper days seem to be almost over. Everyone is potty trained except for my youngest but he has been starting to go as well. He can't quite be trusted in undies but he's surprisingly close considering he won't be 2 for another two months and I wasn't even trying to train him.

Well, using a diaper depends on where you live. My daughter was born in India, and I never used a diaper on her(even at night I used a rubber sheet) unless I had to travel 2 or more hours. But for my son who was born here, in the US, it is difficult because most of the homes are all completely carpeted, except the kitchen and the bathroom. So, its very tough to take all the stains from a carpet, whereas it is easier if it is a tiled or a hard wood floor. Moreover, I keep checking his diaper frequently and I keep his bottom moistured every time I change diapers, so that he doesn't get diaper rashes. Moreover, the climate here is not very hot and most of the time it is cool, so babies don't feel the sweat too. So, I guess they are not all that uncomfortable although they are definitely less comfortable than babies who don't wear diapers all the time. But there is definitely an advantage to not wearing diapers all the time. Babies get potty trained very soon because they know what their body is going through.

My daughter wears a diaper all the time. She has only ever had 1 bad diaper rash in her 19 months of life and it was caused by a medicine she was taking.

My son is an adult, but as a baby, almost from birth, he hated diapers that were wet or messy. He let me know he needed changed if I somehow missed his scrunched up face. We used 8 diapers a day and he had diaper rash only once. After bath time, he enjoyed running around without a diaper, but I couldn't have let him do that for long periods. When I developed an infant program at an established preschool, the state guidelines were that an infant be changed every two hours AND when a worker knew that the infant had either urinated or deficated. Very rarely did those babies get diaper rash either. Although diapers are made more absorbant than ever, babies aren't supposed to run around with wet diapers. That IS what causes diaper rash. I know that my friends who used cloth diapers changed their babies as much or more than I did.

Make sure your baby is wearing a clean diaper and there shouldn't be any problems. Diapers aren't whats causing rashes, its not changing the diaper that does.

My son is grown now but when he was little I always let him run around without a diaper in the house. I feel as you do that it is not good for a child to have a diaper on all the time due to the rashes they get. From rashes it can go into worse things. And once a child gets a rash it is hard to get rid of. I can remember when I was that young and Mom would take us to visit with her Mom and Dad who lived way out in the country running around naked. There is nothing wrong with it and I think it is healthier that way than having a diaper on a child all the time.

A diaper the whole day, I don't recommend it. You can use it depends upon the situation. Suppose your kid is less than one year and season is winter, I recommend it for night. So that the baby can sleep well in night. Definitely when going out you can use it. Otherwise I don't think there is any need to diaper the baby. Rashes is a problem but now good diapers are available but I think kids will get irritated if you keep them whole day in diaper.

Fortunately my 2 sons both have skins that are not very tender or sensitive. We can make them wear diapers all day long and they won't get rashes. We just make sure to replace the diapers when they are soiled or have accumulated too much urine

it is important to keep changing the diaper cause the heat and the wetness inside the diaper will cause rashes which can be painful to the child. since we are in a modern world that parents will likely to use the diaper that what we used before which is just clothing to wrap their bottom. but we are actually exposing children to greater risk to rashes not unless we always keep changing the diaper. which i think that parents should always do after the child get wet . we should change the diaper immediately.

to be a mother and look own baby and doing evething for them are very happy.

I've always had my son in a diaper day and night. We've always been vigilant to change him as soon as he was wet or dirty and have had really no rashes at all. I don't change him during the night when he wakes up, as I've found it makes it harder for him to fall back asleep. So when I diaper him for bed, I always apply a barrier cream (Aquaphor is hands-down my favorite) to keep the wetness off his skin. I also apply the cream any time his skin shows any redness or irritation, be it from wetness or irritating dirty diapers or diarrhea. This has worked really well for us!
