Can you get bigger nappies than size 8?

[goldsparklyChocolate]

My 1 year old is quite big and the size 8 ones are getting a bit snug! Can you even get a bigger size ??? Not sure what to do ?

i was looking at pull ups but are they as absorbent ?

Are you sure they're too big. My 5 year old wears size 6 pull ups in bed and they fit perfectly. How heavy is your baby as size 8 is for 17kg+

Yes she is very stocky and they are just getting harder to do up round her and now leak occasionally. My other children at this age were in size 6 she’s very noticeably bigger but I’ve looked and can’t see an option past size 8! I was wondering though is some brands maybe come up bigger than others ?

Are you in the uk?
Size 6 nappies are recommended to fit most kids up to the age of potty training? That makes your 1 year old bigger than a 3 year old child?
In what way do they not fit?

My 3 year old wears size 6 pampers nappy pants and they never leak

My 2 year old is 98th centile and size 6 has plenty of room! How big is your baby?

Your one year old is over 17kg? The weight of a four year old? You aren't trying to make the tabs meet in the middle are you (a previous poster thought you had to do that!)?

Yes uK

I’ve just weighed her she is 2 st 8 (unsure what that is in kg? Around 16?) but she is quite short so she’s very wide !
shes 18 months so nowhere near potty training yet

No the tabs are at the edges !!

Defry switching to pull ups first, they have stretchier waistbands. I found them just as absorbent and looked more comfortable on my toddlers.

Both girls but neither of them particularly tiny and I never needed more than a size 5 pull up.

I don’t think she is over 17kg but it’s that she is short and wide ? So they are just noticeably snug the last couple of weeks and the leaking is usually an indicator of when we’ve needed to go up a size.
like I said my others were a size 6 (one was actually a size 5 at this age I think ) but she’s a very different shape

I might try some I was looking at them and wondering if they may be stretchier and more comfortable

I think it’s her body shape as well she’s just very short and wide !!

I wonder if this is a brand thing? I've never gone bigger than size 5 in Pampers. DS 3 is wearing size 5 now. Not particularly recommending them though, I know they can be pricey.

Personally I don't like pull ups as much, especially for poo. I find when wet they gape!

The pull ups although size 8 say 19kg+ so I think I’ll try those as they maybe have a bit more stretch/room ! Whereas the nappies are 17kg+

Quick Google search shows Pampers do a size 8 at most bigger supermarkets, so you could probably order some in from a website
But they're for 17kg+, which is average (50th percentile) weight for a 5 year old. I'd be a bit concerned if your 1 year old is definitely this weight and be speaking to doctor/ hv.

Yes I was wondering if there was another brand that came up bigger

I had a short and wide baby/young toddler and he was in nappy pants from he could crawl! He's 3 now and size 6 are roomy on him so I just can't fathom how you'd need a size 8 for an 18 month old

Try nappy pants

yes it’s the pampers 8 that we use - they say up to 17kg whereas the size 8 pull ups are 19kg so I might have to give those a try

I think she is just short and that’s making her really wide ! She doesn’t actually eat that much ! Certainly not excessive amounts or unhealthy food or big portions she is just short (like me ! )

She’s 2stone 8 so not actually over the weight on the packet so it must be a very rough guide as going by that they should definitely fit her ok but they don’t

Gosh, she weighs more then my 6 year old. Speak to your health visitor for alive on nappies and maybe get her weight assessed.

2st 8 is huge for an 18 month old especially if she is not tall. Is she moving at all ?

Nappy pants are as absorbant as nappies, they are different to pull ups so I'd try those.

I get the shape thing if she is very heavy for her height, DS was the opposite, could wear a size 3 past a year old because he was light for his height.

With regards to leaking have you tried bigger vests? I find my lo leaks when wearing tighter vests and that's when I know it's time to stop
Using that particular vest.

Crikey my almost 4 year old is 2 stone 8!

Yes ! Been walking since 10 months and always running about we go to the park each day after morning drop off and she runs around lots and always busy and active
