Weighing diapers will provide an estimate of urinary output.Each 1 g of weight is equivalent to 1 ml of urine.Having parents estimate output would be inaccurate.It is difficult to estimate how much fluid is in a diaper.The urine collection device would irritate the child's skin.It would be difficult for a toddler who is not toilet trained to sit on a potty chair 30 minutes after eating.
