10 year old sons diaper

Hi,

If your son is cognitively and physically (other than incontinence) normal, I would think that he should be able to change his own diaper if he only wets.  If he has fecal incontinence it might be a bit more complicated.  Whether or not he uses disposable diapers would also make a difference in how frequently he changes and how much assistance he may need.

After years of dealing with this I have found that the current higher end disposable diapers (Abena X-Plus...I think small would fit a 10 year-old) worn under plastic pants are enough to discretely deal with total bladder incontinence (i.e infrequent leaks, can be worn under normal clothing, change every three to four hours).

Good luck!

Yes I think you and the nurse should change your son's diaper. I  wasn't able to change my own diapers until I was 2 years older than him. When I was in school the nurse frequently changed my diapers. When I was 6-7 occasionally my teacher would change my diaper and I was teased quite a bit for it because everyone knew I wore diapers. Having the nurse do it is a little less likely to be noticed so long as he manages to have his diaper changed during recess and at lunch. If he needs his diaper changed in the middle of class, chances are that eventually the other kids would figure it out.

the nurse should change him and if going swimming use swim diaper. if your son doing pe then ether he gets help from pe teacher nurse diapers him changing room. if kids make fun of him then it will help him get out of diapers fast.
