Hi Lizy79,
We didn't go out much this summer as the cast gets quite hot. If we did go out it was in the morning so we could be back in time before the heat really set in. Our airconditioner got a real workout this summer. I dress her in a lot of those little suits that button up under the nappy and I found that her normal size would still fit over the cast so I didn't have to go out and buy bigger clothes.
Hayley had a change of cast at 6 weeks and it was staring to get smelly in the last week. We changed her nappy a lot to try and stop leaking but it still happened occasionally no matter how hard we tried for it not too. We would stuff a newborn nappy into the cast (Huggies) and then place the bigger nappy over the top. You have to stuff something into the cast otherwise all the urine just runs into the back of it. The staff at PMH used sanitary pads but the newborn nappy worked much better. Her second cast was changed after 4 weeks and her last cast she had on for only 2 weeks so those two never got smelly.
I am happy to answer any more questions that you have and I hope everything goes well. Keep us posted!
Monica
