HELP LEAKING NAPPIES. ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS!!!!!

[Mum of girl, boy, boy]

Leaks have been much better the last week but DS stopped feeding  because of a cold. Now we are feeding every 3 hours through the night (he didn't put on any weight for 10 days). I am hoping he is just catching up. I am sure the super big wet nappies will be back soon. In the mean time. I called pampers and they have sent me Ģ15 of vouchers and suggested he was perhaps in between sizes. Who knows!!!! Ģ15 is very much welcomed though.

Hi Julie hope you are getting on better with the nappy situation, once or twice my DS leaked through but it was when he was between size 2 & 3. I think it was pampers I was using then and I had to put the bigger one on him at night - seemed to do the trick.

I now avoid Pampers and much prefer Huggies superflex, he is on size 3 all the time now.

Hi ladies & babies,

Am new here and just wanted to pass on a recommendation for cloth nappies; I'm amazed noone else has mentioned them in response to this post! Our dd (5 months) has been in lovely cloth nappies since birth and I NEVER have to change her at night, her botty is still bone dry by morning. She's never had nappy rash or a poo leak either and her nappies have saved us hundreds of pounds! The icing on the cake, of course, is that her nappies don't end up in landfill!

I would like to post some links in case anyone's interested but not sure if I'm allowed to post links for retailers websites?

Good luck with whatever you try!

hi there, not sure how to do that.

Had another go with some left over Pampers and had the same result. My husband managed to pick up the huggie superflex / super dry. Not very good if he does one of his massive poos but great for night time wees. Looks like we will be using pampers new born in the day and the huggies at night. The huggies don't feel quite as nice but if they do the job then hey I am not complaining. He has been sleeping better since the change of nappies.

Take care y'all. Thanks again.

Will try the cloth if all else fails. (Probably a very good suggestion)

Thanks girls for all the posts.

Just an update.

Huggies have been working well for us at night. Going to give baby dry another go in a few days because I want to try and use them up. Huggies are terrible for really dirty nappies so I tend to put him in Pampers newborn during the day as he has stopped pooping at night.

Just for info I tried Huggies on my daughter who is 21 months and they were terrible. Ok for wee but the poo gets out the sides where as the Pampers active fit I don't have any problems. I was hoping to save some money but never mind.

Thanks again.

Is funny you mention this about huggies and poo, I have recently emailed them to complain that the majority of times DS does a poo, it gets all down his legs (sorry for graphic info) it happened again today - they seem to leak at the sides, the nappy wasn't even that full.
 

[Mum of girl, boy, boy]

That's interesting. I find the same even little ones leak but with the Pampers newborn it takes a lot for them to leak. It is just a shame they don't hold enough wee at night.

Let me know how you get on with emailing huggies. Would be good if they do free vouchers etc.

Hiya, DD and DS are 8 months old.  DD is in pampers at night, no problem with her leaking at all.
With DS I have tried pampers and tescos.  Last night I changed him twice.
I think though, I have found the problem - his winkle moves during the night!
I have noticed that when I change him, his winkle is always pointing up!!

With my wee man, almost all nappies leak. The worst are pampers baby dry, pampers new baby size 1 and 2 and the non-labels. The best are pampers newborn size 3 (4-7kg), huggies superflex, fixies extra class and the best is pampers active fit.

We had a wet baby almost all the time when he was a newborn, only now that we use active fit at night he is fine...

[LŠuren]

huggies superflex are the ones I am having the problems with  It happened again this morning! (never during the night always during the day)

What are fixies extra class??

We get them in Germany, but they are a bit like huggies superflex. Have you tried active fit? And maybe try to buy a bigger size for him, we now moved up to size five, even if that isn't his weight yet, but they work great!

[Mum of girl, boy, boy]

Using up Pampers Baby Dry Size 3 at the moment. Seem to be ok now.

Thanks again for all your posts

I used to have the same problem but I bought reuseable diaper liners (on-line) with a diaper one size up.  I found that I have to use 2 at a time in his diaper but this really stops leaks and I have never had to change his diaper in the middle of the night again!

[Mum of girl, boy, boy]

Oh what joy!!! The Pampers Baby dry started leaking again. I've gone back to Huggies for night time although the size 3 are looking a bit small around this little boys bloated belly!!!!

I emailed huggies to say my daughter kept pooing out the side of the size 5's (nice!!!) and they are sending some vouchers.

Best Wishes
