The average parent isn't that bright and won't have the forethought to deal with an issue that will only last for a short while. Smarter parents will diaper their children before the night. The kos will usually grow out of their diaper phase quickly.
The other thing is that yukkuri don't have quality of sleep issues. They can wake up and go back to sleep as many times as they want and they will be the same the next day. Sleeping for them appears to be a strict energy conservation routine between hunting/breeding routines instead of any regenerative process.
I know yus don't have long-term memory or can comprehend the abstract, but I thought not only were these two a cut above gutter trash but would remember it surely happening the night before. After all, they had to remember how to diaper the kos, why not remember the need?
Although it's not relevant to my post, that's insightful analysis of dormancy versus sleep. I agree with that.
I've see this type of scene a few times and never understood why they diaper the babies AFTER they shit the nest, knowing they'll crap in their sleep.
Maybe for the mold, if they shit in the diapers during their sleep they could break their skin, during the day they shit on the diapers, remove them and clean faster.

Good point, but if they shit the nest, they still are exposed to their waste. Seems like kos immediately cry once they have a bowel movement, so you'd think a good parent wouldn't let them wallow in their filth, either way. And these are pretty attentive and smart parents. *shrug*

Most of the time Yukkuri only gives attention to their waste after they see or smell it. Or if is product of a declaration.
