Seriously?! Have to beg for diapers?

[playfelt]

I totally get where they are coming from and truthfully the diaper quality has been improved to the point it is not necessary to change kids every 2 hours like we did with cloth diapers or the older dispoables. In theory the diapers are designed to hold 3 full wettings. This works for some kids but not others of course. It could be that the child piddles more than does a complete soak at a time and therefore it will hold more. There is no reason to be grossed out by a child in a peed diaper - they wear the same one all night long and pee at least a couple times in it.

Having said that leaving a bag of diapers at my house is the only option because I do not have time to go searching in diaper bags every day and need them at the ready in the drawers by the change table. Unless the child actually poops in the middle of the day and you can't adjust the time for diaper changes to take this into consideration there is little reason to need more than 3 per day 9am, 12 am, 3pm works fine for me most days. The one year olds yes may need late morning and before nap too but older children probably not.
