Nappy that will contain BF poo!

[PutOnThePan]

This is my first post and is being typed one handed so hope it goes OK!

DS2 is 20 weeks and is exclusively BF. The trouble is he poos about twice a day and they go straight up his back - they've even got a name suit stainers.

Is there a nappy that will contain these at all???

What nappies are you using?

I knew someone would ask that - Perhaps because I've got a sinking feeling that I'm going to be recommended reusables and I'm afraid of the work!

I'm currently using Pampers disposables (tried ordinary and Active Fit) and just picked up some Huggies on holiday. Both appear to be equally useless!

We have never had problems with asda own brand (little angels) nappies. They're much cheaper than pampers/huggies too!

When I use despicables disposables I often stick a washable nappy wrap over the top - not much gets past a Motherease Airflow but I prefer fleece or wool.

When I used disposables we used Sainsbury's little one's and then moved onto Nature BabyCare. Never had a problem with BF poo.

I did buy a packet of the Pampers Active fit as an emergency one day and nearly cried at how shocking they where. And that was with just wee.

Tried Huggies once as well back along, They gave Ds awful nappy rash.

Thanks for those suggestions - I'll try out a couple of those. Hopefully one of them will do the trick!

Have you tried tescos nappies. I have found them good in the past. I have friends who also recommend lidl and aldi nappies.

I tried all sorts of disposables and have to say the only thing that worked was to invest in vanish prewash! I concluded that some babies just can't be contained. On the bright side when he started on solids it was so much easier, with no explosions at all.

Well, I have tried all sorts and my conclusion is ....

Trust Pink - Forget Stains!!

Although I had forgotten how good Tesco nappies were so a side effect is at least I'm buying cheaper nappies now.

Thanks everyone!

You have tried putting the stained clothes out to dry in the sunshine haven't you?- most bf poo stains will go with a bit of time out in the sun.
Obviously better to try and contain the poo in the nappy first though

i find it funny that people think washables are more work - our washing machine is broken just now so using disposibles and have had loads and loads of leaks (had none at all with the washable nappies) so it is really annoying as I have loads of poo covered clothes to wash at frineds houses, disposibles are so unreliable imo and we have tried huggies, pampers and asda own brand

Would it help to try a size bigger than you are currently using and see if the increased length at the back reduces leaks?

If you accept that using disposables = leaks = more clothes washing, then, by the same logic you can save yourself lots of time if you were to use washables. Have you actually tried them yet? Most people who say 'oh no I wouldn't use washable nappies they're too much like hard work' have not actually ever tried one washable nappy. yes back in the olden days prior to automatic washing machines and decent detergents it WAS hard work, but not now in the shove them in and press a button era!

It would be no more washing than you're currently doing (no leaks from a nappy + wrap system as there are 2 barriers at leg and waist, so just the nappies to wash, no clothes), but you'd save yourself the hassle of putting bin bags out daily and going to buy more every week.

As an added bonus, you could easily save over £500 by using cloth.

Other than the suggetsion of a washable wrap over the top, I'd suggest sellotaping across the back of the nappy to make it tighter across the back. Is quite fiddly to do so I'd suggest get a tape dispenser. I used to have to do this for legs of disposables, never had a disposable that didn't leak, so only bothered with a pack or so.
