why why do dispoables leak?

[misdee]

am using them atm, as my laundry pile is huuuuuuuuge and need to catch up there. but the dispoables keep bloomin leaking. its driving me nuts, and i'm not sure if its gonna increaser my laundry loads, as for 2 days now dd3 nappy has leaked onto my trousers. yuuuuk! they just cant seem to cope with breastfed/small solids baby poo.

Second child not nappy.

Whoah! Fast moving discussion. Post quickly becomes abstract.
Again, I am totally impressed Ameriscot, I love to hear of exteneded breastfeeding, it's so uncommon in the UK and treated with such suspicion.
We have had many leaky nappies both disposable and reusable, I just don't put them on properly it seems or they are the wrong size or I leave them too long or ds legs it before I can get the flipping thing fastened properly.
What is your secret Ameriscot?

Blankyfloozypuddingandpie, what are you on about???

Oh and as quickly as the conversation picked up, it died.

I don't think I have a secret. I haven't felt that it was rocket science. I just change them when they feel heavy,

Telling Misdee how not to have leaky nappies. (as in the title of the thread)

she is giving me directions on how to putthem o nright lol.

I didn't think it was rocket science either Ameriscot, but the simplest of things can sometimes go awry.

Misdee I hope you're getting all that.

i've been changing about every 2 hours lately, even more some time!

Have you gone to clean up the mess?

I use an average of 3 disposables a day with not one leak....

Maybe it's your child that is leaky Misdee???

Make really really sure that the little side ruffles are not tucked in at all. It only seems to make a big difference when they are tiny.

Have you got any clean wraps misdee - could you put one of those over the top. I used to put ds in a disp, then plastic pants (real cheapo ones like our mother's had to use) and then his clothes and then another pair of plastic pants and then into the sling. Because I really didn't want to be without the sling, or buy a spare one.

I think the consistency of br'food poo is so variable that some children present higher leakage risks than others....

My kids are ok in either disp or cloth, but my kids are quite skinny; I wonder if disps are generally cut better for skinny rather than plump babies (people like their babies to look lean rather than plump).

we bought the Boots pull-ups once, and have never looked back - they LOOK exactly the same as Morrisons own brand, but morrisons leak at night - we haven't had a leak in a Boots pull-up yet, even at night, and my DD does some HUGE wees! also, they seem to be on a 3 for 2 promotion all the time! hth

no need, am back in lovely cloth. now have noth washing machines plumbed in so on days when i am home, i can do laods of laundry.
