I am in diapers full time, if my sickness has anything to do with my bowels; such as diarrhea or the flu. So yes I do poop in them when I'm sick. If your son has a sickness that does not cause him to have more accidents, then keeping him in diapers full time wont change anything. But if you feel that you need to do so, follow your intentions.

During Christmas break I was sick and wet my pants while sleeping on the couch. My mom got very upset and put me in a diaper. I had to stay in diapers for 3 days till I was feeling better. I get a soaking if I take my diaper off and one time when my sister was watching me I kept telling her I needed to poop but she was on the phone with her friend and I couldn't holt it any more and pooped in my diaper. My sister got pissed and made me go outside and she hosed me off with the hose. I said it was her fault but she didn't care.

I remember as a child when I was sick mom usually kept me in diapers, even when she took me to the pediatricians. This was the norm until I was around 8, unless I asked to wear them. Nobody ever made a big deal about it. The longest time I was diapered was when I had mono and was sick for a month. There was only one other time after that was when I was 10. I had the chicken pox and had a bad reaction to the medication. I was so sick that I couldn’t make it out of bed for a couple weeks. Speaking of at the doctors office back then they took you temperature rectally up to the age of 8. So there I was several times ( I had lots of respiratory issues and was in the doctors office at least once a month if not more most of the time) when called back to the room and the nurse told mom to strip me down to socks and underwear or diaper in my case. The nurse would come back in a few mins later to do temp and look at me if she was new and was oh your wearing a diaper. Depending on the nurse within A few mins later I was in the changing position or over moms lap with the diaper undone with a thermometer in my butt lol. Mom would always have a fresh diaper on the table when the nurse was done. All in all having to wear diapers when I was a child has helped me accept them now I have to wear as a adult and I glad my kids didn’t inherit my bedwetting issues. They were dry by 5 lol

I think kids should be in diapers as long as they have wetting issues or require diapers for whatever reason. I don’t like the idea to tell a kid that when they get sick they are going to be diapered.

I recall many years ago being in the hospital, I think it was for tonsils. I remember the first thing they did was put diapers and plastic pants on me. they said it was hospital rules that bed wetters wear diapers all the time because wetting often increases when your sick. I was not happy!

Bob, I had my tonsils and adenoids taken out when I was 8 and my mom told the nurses I wet the bed. My mom was the one that suggested I stay in them. She even brought some for me. I used those at first but the nurse said they had some that they could use. It was really embarrassing as I was sharing a room with a girl. Sometimes they would pull the curtain closed when changing me but one time she was gone when the started changing me but walked in before they got the new one on. I was so embarrassed that she saw me naked.

Our daughter wears diapers when she's sick too. If there's any chance she might fall asleep on the couch (likely if she's sick) then she knows she has to wear one.

Our 10yo son does too when he's sick sometimes, since that's the only time recently he's wet the bed.

Amy, your kids are lucky they only have to wear i diaper when they are sick. My mom makes me wear one every night. She even lets my older sister change me which is embarrassing because she teases me.

Hi Tristan I guess your mom knows that you constantly wet your bed and that is why you need constantly your protection. And don’t get upset when your sister helps you. She’s still family.
