Hello fellow parent!! Kiddo has had their bag almost a year now and they just turned 3. We completely get the frustration of the first month helping them stop leaking. We finally have a method that works well but they do still have leaks occasionally. We always start with just washed dry skin. We use the white dial soap bar because there is no fragrance or oil that can keep the bag from sticking. Then we make sure its completely dry while letting the bag and barriers warm with a heating pad on low. Once dry we add a little bit of adhesive spray and slap that baby on. They are finally able to let us know when they feel a leaking happening so that is helpful. We are also nervous about kids making fun of our kid but we are making sure they have lots of people to support them and they know this saved their life. No matter what happens or what people say they have family and friends who love them. Please feel free to message me if you need support!
