Nappies what the fudge am I doing wrong? Pics.

[OoohOnly90CaloriesIllhave10]

The before and after pic. I think I'm putting them on right? Yet they end up cutting into him.

He's 7 months, 91st for weight, 75th length so he's rather round. Big tummy and thighs.
10.3 kg and these are Aldi 5+

Before and after pic the wrong way round but you get the idea.

He often has red marks

They look too tight to me have you tried a size up?

Also are you leaving it a long time between changes?

Have you tried a different size or brand?

Try nappy pants!

I think you’re tightening them too much. I certainly didn’t do ours up that tight

I think it’s just his wee belly making the top of the nappy roll down. I find this with trousers that are too small for me- my belly protrudes and forced the top to roll down.

Have you tried any other brands?

Try a different brand. I found Aldi nappies too short in the back for DS who was tall.

Does he have any hip issues?

In theory though, he isn't heavy enough for the size 5+ according to the packet.

The photo of the right one was on for about 40 mins. It was still dry, I keep changing it trying to get it 'right' but failing.

I had the same issue with pampers and I've looked into Huggies but I don't think they exist anymore??

Too tight. Also try another brand, they look too long for his body shape.

You need to try the next size up.

My son is the same with tummy and thighs, I’d suggest either going up a nappy size or trying a different brand? We use sainsburys own nappies, and they’ve been really good for us, my son has been in size 6 for months (he’s 17 months now).

Nappies maybe too big and you're having to over tighten them? My DD is 2.5 and wears Aldi size 5...and I sometimes think they're too big still. (She is super slim tho.)

Are they too big?? My 20 month old is far from petite and only just fitting size 5

Ooh those thighs

DS is seven months, very long and he's in Pampers size 3. 5+seems huge for a baby that young. Try a different brand

The size 5 is the same size (in Aldi) and the 4 is waaaaaay to small.

If I do the nappy any looser, the hard plastic bits that stick down rub against his skin.

Go up a size. Definitely. Regardless of the weight. Both my boys were big babies and needed the bigger size than going by the recommended weight. Nappy pants are also good if they're wriggling around more. They have elastic around the waistband, so less likely to dig in.

Nappies too big and you're having to tighten them up too much?

To be fair DS is quite slender, but DN is 8 months and a lovely chunky thing and he's only just in a size 4

The size by weight is just a guide, it doesn't take into account the baby's body shape. I would give it a go with the size up and see if it improves. You could try shopping around different brands until you find one that has a shape that suits. Pull up ones that don't have the sticky tabs might be an option, although I think they're more expensive.

Thehands my DS isn't very long.

He's very very round. A smaller nappy doesn't do up round his middle.

I don't know if this pic helps to explain what I mean? Probably not!

...

We do use nappy pants for DS over night and when we're out for the day, he's crawling and cruising and has a habit of putting his hand in his shorts and undoing nappies! Nappy pants are definitely longer than nappies, DH calls them his Simon Cowell nappies
