Swim diapers do NOT work in a pinch

Here’s a news flash: Swim diapers, those colorful pull-on pants designed for use in the pool or at the beach, are NOT a good temporary substitute for the real thing.
We found this out yesterday when we ran out of diapers and put Pumpkin in a swim diaper leftover from this summer. Before we could go to the store for more real Pampers, it was time for Pumpkin’s snack. While her dad was feeding her applesauce, she let go with a pee. When he picked her up from her high chair, her jeans were sopping wet, her legs were covered in urine and the high chair had a puddle. She might as well have been bare-bummed!
These diapers don’t work at all! So be warned: If you think swim diapers will prevent urine from getting in the pool, they most definitely will not. Maybe they help contain poop  I hope I never have to find out.

TMI, Julie! ;->
Agreed! Blogging on your child’s bowel movements is a new low.
ROFLMAO
Gives a whole new meaning to pumpkin juice. :-O
Ummm, this post was actually pretty helpful to me, as I am trying to find a suitable alternative to the disposable swim diapers. I don’t know why those other folks were grossed out(are they actally parents?) cause once you have a baby any inhibitions about bodily functions, especially as they relate to babies go out the window. Thanks for the tip.
Hi and thanks for spending the time to have a discussion on the subject of baby care along with kid’s concerns.
