Where can I find advice on changing my daughter's adult diapers?

She's 14 and was in an accident and is paralyzed from the neck down, she had to spend a lot of time in the hospital but now I have her home with me. She had a type of catheter in before but it gave her a bad infection so it was taken out. With the diapers I'm still worried about her getting infections, rashes, bed sores, etc...I'm not always sure how often to change her and a lot of the time she doesn't realize when she's wet.


Does anyone who has any experience have any advice?Where can I find advice on changing my daughter's adult diapers?
Grr they should have shown you how to do this at the hospital, Open the fresh diaper completely


Roll your daughter up on one side, undo the tab and pull the back of the diaper down, clean her and remove the diaper, by pulling it down from between her legs, after you make sure she doesn't need anymore cleaning, place the back end of the diaper against your daughter's behind, tucking it underneath her, try to make sure there are no wrinkles, roll her onto her back then pull the diaper up between her legs and fasten, this will take practice, but you will get used to it,


There is a risk of UTI with diapers as well, keep her as dry as possible but make sure you let her bottom half get plenty of air, change her position every 2 hours to help avoid bed sores and when you change her position, massage the area that she has been laying on to bring back circulation, good skin care is of the utmost importance, get the best skin lotion you can by and apply it when you change positions, you want to do this with every pressure point, coccix, elbows, heels, spine, hips etc. I pray you have some help, home health aid or something this is a tremendous job all by yourself,


I am so sorry this happened to you, please feel free to email me anytime. U wish you and your daughter the best, ADD: make sure there is plenty of protein in her diet as well, this will help stave of bed sores.Where can I find advice on changing my daughter's adult diapers?
