Changing nappy

The nights weren't a problem for me as I didn't have a full nights sleep 'till my DD was over 3yrs old.
It's a different matter when you know there is a dirty nappy and one where you are asleep.

Glad you said that Positive pam, I was wondering what all " change them immediately" people did when they poo in the night. My DD woke every morning with a dirty nappy, not my favourite way to greet the day

My thoughts exactly Merlot

Why on earth do parents delay potty training these days? If they had to boil terry nappies as we did they'd soon get their act together.

So could I ask what you would expect to happen if the toddler soiled their nappy in the night, would you be constantly checking them all night just in case? Because I just think this toddler was in their nappy for an hour and it wasn't a mortal sin this gran committed, but by accident ran out of nappies.

This might upset you but I don't care as the thought of a toddler being in a dirty nappy makes me very angry. Can't believe you admit to it and see nothing wrong.

GD had potty trained herself (true!) when she was 2. The family were going round a children's shop when they found she was missing. On investigation, they found that she had discovered a display of potties and was calmly making use of one of them.

Thanks for making me feel better! Apparently I'm forgiven (or indispensable) as, since then, I've been asked to babysit last night and can I produce a ton of fircones for the PTA?

DD found DGS then about 10 mnths, nappyless before a bath standing holding onto the walls for support and peeing into the corner
DD described him as looking like a very drunk old man taking a pee in a shop doorway.

When, that is fabulous. Apricot - sympathy as I no doubt you thought he'd be arriving any minute.

Broughton House, Kirkcudbright. GD was two and she got bored inside the house so DH took her into the garden where she promptly ran away from him. When he caught up with her she had her bum suspended over a tiny bush and was very proud of her achievement, sorry Scottish Grans

Don't you just love them?

Is that his opinion of Enid Blyton then?

My nephew, aged two, opened the bottom drawer in his nursery, left a little present in there, then whipped his Noddy poster off the wall to wipe his bum!

That's nothing, Flower, my GD very neatly did a poo on top of a stereo speaker in the corner of her parents' bedroom.

Maybe they should supply the stash of nappies! My little DGS will often always say 'No poopoo' even if he has done a poo in his nappy. If my nose does not detect it then he may stay in it for a little while. He is three and has been using potty but since he has been so unwell and little sister has been unwell it has slipped a bit. The other day he was running around his home naked (potty training) and my DD could smell the aroma. She said where is that smell .... he replied 'Down there mummy I pooed' (on the carpet)

I think that LizG's reply is so appropriate and may hit home. #ramblingasusual

I think if I were you I would have a secret stash of nappies just in case.

Yes I would have cleaned up baby and used a towel as a makeshift nappy, baby poo can make little bottoms very sore.

Sorry I meant to preface that with " If that had been DGS2 ...."

Beat them to it next time and when they bring your DGD to you next time count the nappies very obviously and say: 'I am just making sure you have brought enough nappies this time!'. It's not worth falling out over but I do think they have a cheek being cross with you

I certainly would have been aware of it as would anybody in a 500yard radius!! If I ask DGS if he needs a new nappy he smiles beatifically and says No! but my nose tells me otherwise! Just don't get why no spare nappies provided?

Perhaps it will encourage them to start potty training.

Yes but surely if this child was upset or uncomfortable, it would have been obvious and apricot might have used another method, if she thought it was required. I really do not think there will be any permanent damage being in one for an hour and to be furious with someone who is helping them is just a little too much I think. Nappies nowadays are greatly improved and not like the old terry towel ones that might cause redness or soreness. One hour will not usually cause major skin problems.

I do think it unfair the response being that dad was so late, but I have to side with ga on this and would have used a hand towel or such for a short period as the skin tends to burn and redden very quickly if left and it is not pleasent,also at 2yrs + my DGC have always told my DD when they wanted to go to the loo for this but all little ones are so different.I certainly would not expect to fall out over this and would expect an apology for being furious with me.
