Diapering in a Spica Cast is a huge pain in the butt!...literally lol! The cast doesn't leave a large opening & there isn't a lot of space between cast & skin. When diapering you have to use a smaller sized diaper with a feminine pad in it & that you actually push up into the diaper. Then you take a normal size diaper and put it on the outside of the cast. Basically the point is to not let anything get on the cast. Hahahaha talk about impossible. It's all about trial & error. We are on day 3 & we are still erring lol. I think we'll get it tonight though. We are going down another size & putting size 2 diapers inside with her 5 on the outside. The hospital said use size 3's but they are just too big for Harlow's little butt.
I thought we were done with the baby stage, but a Spica Cast really takes your toddler back to the baby days - diaper issues, not being able to walk, & even middle of the night diaper changes.
