I love that Huggies put this photo on their website! Great advertising for their product.

[biboquinhas]

well put that photo on their adversite web site it was a rude thing to do, Huggies should't be alloud to do that sort of free publitcity with Mary And one more thing, does Christian use nappies???? My son who is around his age doesn't use nappies anymnore even during the night (but I think it depends of course...)Although I think he is old enought not to use nappies anymore

[Lumutqueen]

I think your right.
I have a neice who is the same age as christian and she was out of nappers a while ago. Maybe the nappies were for Isabella???
Does anyone have any idea of when the couple will be back in Denmark???

I doubt the blue packet of nappies was for Bella

You never no hehe :)
If the nappies were for Christian then Mary needs to get her son potty trained soon. Denamrk can't have a future king in nappies as a teenager can we

[marfre]

I dont think there is any set rule as to when a child should be out of nappies my nephew was 3 and a half before he was completely finished with nappies, his sister just over two. He was just too busy always on the move, so it took him a little longer. I think Denmark need not worry, Christian is just to cute for words anyway.

Every child is different. My doctor used to tell me, not to worry, no child started school at the age of 5 in diapers -- so I stopped worrying about training when they were 18 months and they were trained when they were ready. Not one of life's big catastrophes. My sister-in-laws used to try and out due each other on when their children were completely trained and the poor young ones were always being compared.

Well I think I recall to see during this trip Christian with nappies during the day - on a day in the park, but maybe I'am wrong...

I to would prefere Christian to be out of his nappies before becomming a teenager. At that age he will be a rolemodel for all other teenagers i DK. The idea of all teenagers using nappies is rater dreadful

[marmi]

Sometimes things like staying in an unfamiliar place can upset littlies routines...

[Fashionista100]

Boys are difficult to toilet train. They take longer than girls. I imagine Christian is toilet trained. But he has accidents like every child his age. Also, he most likely only wears them at night or when he is going to be in a strange place for a long time. I doubt Mary is not toliet training. You start when a child shows interest, not at 18 months. You cannot even get a child to sit still then. Esp a boy. My son is 25 months and I started to try. But he isn't too interested yet.

[MARG]

Just a question boys and girls. Were Christian and Isabella the only children in that house at that time?

[JessRulz]

TMK, the only ones at an age where nappies would be used. Both of Mary's sisters' children are all older, and in primary/high school

[biboquinhas]

At Christian age sorry but he should not be wearing nappies anymore. Yes boys are more difficult to train than girls but 18 months year old is the proper time to be pote trainning and a child that is going to be 3 years old should not be wearing nappies anymore even during the nigth.
Because going out shopping is a reason for starting a big fus, royals should not be going out shopping these kind of things and Mary should know that by now!!! She is a royal she is not a normal person and if she acts like a royal sometimes she should also know that she should be acting like a Royal all the time and not only when that benefits her!! Maybe she would like to go out to buy nappies but that is a commoun thing that normal people do not Royals and why?...You have here the answer... this was a perfect ocassion to start a big discussion about Christian wearing or not nappies!!!

Do you mean that Mary went to buy the nappies so that we would start to discuss the future king's use or non-use of nappies???

I guess while discussing the topic I could add that accidents were pointed out. Accidents at a sister's home may be family, but it is still not your own home where they are easier to deal with... (I'm thinking of nighttime here)

Today, it is common for all pediatrician to say do not train you children at 18 months. Many say it is too early and tramatic for the child. For the last decade or so it has been encouraged to allow the child to give you cues as to when the child is ready to toliet train. I don't know what it is like in Portugal. Perhaps they still adhere to the 18 month rule. But in the US, that is no longer the case.

Nor is in DK. At least in the three daycare institutions where I've worked..

The truth about the BB incident in a australian zoo:

Chief editor of BB Annemette Krakau says: The BB was wayting outside the zoo and asked Mary and Frederik whether they could take some pictures inside the zoo of the royal family. Mary answered very politely that they would really love som alone-time with their children. She said this in danish because it was only BB who asked. The australian and other medias were already inside the zoo taking pictures. They did not ask for permission and therefore she said nothing in english. Eventually they allowed the australian media to take pictures, hoping that they would get some peace afterwards. The BB respected her request and left the place. Annemette Krakau said the crownprincess was polite and professionel as ever and that the relationship between her and BB is indeed very good.

Not surprising this story was blown all out of proportion. For those of you who read danish, the story can be read a TV2's homepage.

When my daughter was little I was worried because she was 18 months and she refused to sit on her potty chair. The pediatrician told me that she would do it when she was ready for it, it took another six months and finally she herself sat on the potty chair on her own. Every child is different and a change in routine can affect the child. Give the tyke a break.
