The napkin is characterized by the fact that it comprises semi-rigid means for the orientation of the child's thighs in a bent position approximately at 90 DEG with respect to the pelvis and in an abduction position at 60 DEG approximately, and flexible retaining means shaped and positioned on the child's body to apply and retain the orientation means on the child's thighs and pelvis and vice versa. The orientation means may be of the ischial-sacral type and are constituted by a cross-member, by a cushion.
