Re: G-Tubes_Older Children

Hi ,

is 5 now and we were having problems with him soaking through

his pullup at night due to the pump. We started using diaper

doublers (they look like feminine napkins actually). You insert the

pad into the diaper or pullup and it really helps. hasn't

leaked through once since we started doing this.

Good luck,

Thank you very much to everyone who responded about what to do with

nighttime diapers for older children who have g-tubes. The

information was really helpful and has given us a bit to think about

as we get a strategy together.

I'm very tempted to try to get him dry overnight, and your ideas have

given me hope that it is possible while still using the pump. I'll

be back in the U.S. in a few weeks and will stock up on some of those

diaper doublers to make sure we've got a back-up plan.
