Hi Gail, I'm so glad that little Rebecca came
through her op OK.<br>I know how hard it is to cope with
a little one in a plaster, especially in the nappy
region.<br>we didn't use Gamgee, it wasn't absorbant enough, so
instead we bought newborn nappies (Sophie was 9 months
old when she had her first spica on), and used them
fitting snugly in between her legs, then put her normal
sized nappy over the top.<br>I hope this helps
you.<br>Liz xx
