Please don't laugh at me. I am truly curious. On various occasions, I have seen a young mother stop into her local colmado to pick up a few things. and one Pamper.
Why one?
At first, I thought - hey, she's barely surviving; she can only afford one at a time.
After some time with a small infant in diapers, I realize that you can easily go through 3 or more per day.
So, if a mother in the DR is buying one, every once in a while, or one every day....why?
Is it because she was taking the baby out and wanted to look fancy/well off
Is it because she keeps one diaper on all day (I hope not!)
Is it because the kid goes diaperless after that one is thrown out.
I just do not get it. And I wasn't going to ask. And then I saw a show on how in the USA it is all the rage to NOT buy any diapers and train your babies way early to use the pot or let you know when they want to go. They claim a diaper impedes the baby's feeling wet, and that without a diaper, baby's can and do pay more attention to when they feel the urge, and they cited developing countries.
So, I am just wondering.
I do not need to know how expats use or do not use diapers. What I am talking about is local moms, not wealthy ones, and how they use that one daily diaper.
All replies and guesses are welcome, especially if you work with babies and moms in healthcare in the DR.
Thanks!
