To ask how I survive a night with a baby and NO NAPPIES?!!!

[Carmen99]

Partner dropped baby off an hour ago...told me he had bought nappies. Ive been through bags...definitely no nappies...He's working tonight and will be miles away now. I have no one I can ask for help- neighbours elderly on one side, suffered very recent bereavement on the other side. Unbelievably my car is in garage and there are no shops within easy driving distance.
Does anyone have any ideas at all about what I can possibly do to get through night? Only use one nappy in night...usually change at 7pm and again at 6am. I've got swim nappies but sure they wouldn't work.
Got no other nappies in house.
Help!

A thin towel made like an old terry nappy. Or flannel folded and put in swim nappy?

Where are you? Could the MN hive help? Right now, I’m in Windlesham area of Surrey.

Can't you get a taxi to a supermarket?

We’ve used swim nappies in emergencies before and they’ve worked fine.

Muslin can be used as a makeshift nappy - youtube has folding tutorials.

Or you can use it as a pad inside a swim nappy.

Taxi or Prime Now.

Fold up a T shirt. Plenty of YouTube videos. I know you weren't expecting it so it was a bit of a shock.
Hope you get sorted out.
I think you need a couple in reserve for Just this sort of thing but I know that's not especially helpful at the moment.

Small towel and a safety pin. Search nappy folds on YouTube for how to fold it. Put swim nappy over to hold in place

Search all your bags you use I always find one when changing a bags or under the couch there is usually one stuffed in.... if not then I would defo just use a maternity pad inside a swim nappy then a towel on the bed.

swim nappies will work and if not just change the bedding. Sanitary pads?

Amazon prime now, you can even get one hour delivery if you pay extra

If you google swim nappies or look on the packet you’ll see they do have an absorbent core, it’s just different to normal nappies and designed not to swell up like a normal
nappy does.

Give them a bath and hope they pee before bed. How is the nappy they are wearing now? Sanitary pad in swim nappy?

My MIL accidentally put a swim nappy on dd one night. It did some of the job but obviously did leak as not as absorbent. I would try swim nappy with extra padding in it.. Like sanitary towel or muslins. You may also need to change it through the night. I would just place extra waterproof layer on bed or extra towels so they can just be removed and washed.

I echo a taxi. Or the bus. Stick baby in the buggy and off you pop.

Hold the toddler over the toilet or sit them on a potty when they wake up in the morning.

You folks suggesting Amazon prime now do realise it only covers a small bit of the country, right?

I’d put a face book post out shouting for help and also in local group, any size nappy would be ok!
Would you have one in old handbag/shopping bag etc per chance though?

Swim nappy with a stick on sanitary towel. Happy to bring you some. I'm in very north of Surrey bordering south London but as that's very urbanised I'm guessing you're more in the sticks.

@Carmen99

I PM'd you an idea.

folded up towel or muslin under swim nappy.

bin bag under sheet so the matress doesn't soak.

swim nappy would certainly cover a poo and some wee so if needed use that with a towel underneath

Look in rucksacks, bags, cases etc you use for the odd daytrip. Hopefully there is one lurking there.

Partner pick some up on his way home?

I'm 99% sure Amazon fresh deliver within an hour or so. I used it once as I had a poorly baby and desperately needed a thermometer. I think you need to spend a minimum amount but you could probably easily do that with nappies and gin.
