Suggestion: They make a diaper that ties on each side. It is a plastic outside, inside is soft flannel, in the center there is a 3 inch wide by two twelve inch pieces of flannel that you fold over three times in the center. This will fit between the legs and creates a more absorbant diaper. I purchase them from a health store when my little boy use to wet the bed at night. Worked like a charm, then the Dr. suggested we have in sleep in warm flannel pajamas as he was probably getting chilled. Saved a lot of linens to wash. God bless you. Shirley Smaldino
