I don't give P nearly enough diaper free time. =/ When I did though I would put her on a chux pad (like @prettylizy suggested) and just let her roll around. I had alot of trouble ever getting her to stay on them though so daiper free doesn't happen much. I need to give her some today so I think I may put some pads down under a large blanket and let her roll free around the living room!

I don't think I would brave it during sleep time though. I remember once when G's diaper came off while he was sleeping and boy was that a scary mess to clean up! Maybe your pedi was talking about putting on a type of cloth training pant so that poo would still be someone contained but they can breathe?

I give DS diaper free time every day before/after hIs bath. It's not a big issue if he pees, since we have wood floors. I just make sure to watch him closely so I can clean up any messes immediately.

@Honeybee: same--we extend bathtime. also sometimes I do first thing in the morning on an easy to wash, absorbent blanket--not the greatest time for accident prevention but it's the only time the house seems warm enough to do it.

None. The time between walking from the bath to the nursery.

We do 30 minutes of naked play every night before bath. (DD is 14 months and active) We keep the play kind of crazy and as long as she's entertained enough she doesn't pee. But she's definitely peed on the rug multiple times and pooped twice. We clean it up and it doesn't bug us too much!

Also, she gets plenty of extra naked time (two more 30 minute sessions) if she has a bad rash.

DS had a really bad rash when he was around 7 months old. He was crawling so we just put down a bunch of towels and let him go for as long as we could between naps. It was messy but got it cleared up in a weekend. It also helps that we have hardwood floors so easy clean up when he did go. I also watched him like a hawk for any signs that he might be ready to pee or poo and always kept a towel handy. We washed a lot of towels that weekend!

I give my LO diaper free time after she wakes and eats, after her naps and before bed..unless we have to go somewhere. She generally sits there for 20-30 minutes. I put her on prefolds (we cloth diaper). She pees a lot but I just give her a new cloth. She wears a shirt and socks during it. She is 7.5 months but not mobile. Good luck!
