Which wrap is best for tall baby?

8 replies

I am using Wham bamboo nappies which are great but am struggling to find a wrap to suit it as ds is quite tall and the nappy pops out of the top. Any suggestions. Thanks

I have found woollywraps to be the best for high rise, but that is only good really if you want wool... What wraps have you tried so we can all compare notes?

It have tried motherease air flow ,wee notions and tots bots. All were great when using size 2 nappies folded at front. It seems that both the motherease and wee notions are wider as I am still only on 1st/2nd popper. The nappy just pops up at the back. Are wool wraps ok to use in the day?? am using one for night time use only

They are fine for the day as long as he's not going to be sat in a car seat for any long periods - the pressing of the clasp causes compression dampness.

I've got a feeling that wacky wraps are quite high too, but I'm not at home and can't compare them right now.

Yes, Wacky wraps are quite high compared to airflows. I also find Lovebums - which have fleecy leg and waist cuffs - nice and high in the rise. But wool is my fave!

We use Nature Babies aplix ones with our WBBs and they're great on our long baby. Tried ME airflow but they were too tight on her chunky thighs - the size guide said up to 20lb and she was 16.5lb at the time - and too loose on her slim waist (yup, poor girl's pear shaped already).

My son is very tall and I use wambamboos with Motherease airflow wraps, they seem to suit him fine. Maybe because DS is on the larger airflow wraps? What size is your wraps/baby? Think that they do a medium large which is for tall slim babies for 20lbs-27lbs.

When I use terries for DS I just tuck the nappy in and pull the wrap over. Sometimes it looks like it is poking through but when I put his vest over it it all stays in place.

DS is in the 98th percentile for height, he does however have quite chubby thighs and waist though so maybe that helps!

Sorry, just thought, I have found I get a better fit with wbbs if I put them on DS so that the back is quite low and the front is higher. Might help?

Never had a leak of poo or wee doing that so might stop it poping up at the back?

I must say the problems have been more with the wee notion wraps I think there is wicking going on at the binding at the top of the wrap. I think I will try and fit the nappies so they are lower at the back and see how we go from there. Thanks for the other suggstions, I will try them when we need larger wraps
