Droopy nappy help!

4 replies

My 16 month old has started having issues with droopy nappies. We pretty much always used pampers at night and Tesco/Aldi/Lidl in the day. He has started drinking loads in the day, at least a litre, and his nappies fill up so quickly and the dangle between his legs and look like he’s done a big poop. We use nappy pants as he won’t stand still for a change.

Any tips to stop the droopy nappy? It looks awful and like I don’t change him enough even though I change him every few hours.

He also sometimes leaks through really quickly it looks like he doesn’t even have a nappy on.

He’s in size 5 and has just moved upto that size.

Just change him more often? I don't know what other answer you'd get really. We've always used disposables and if she gets a droopy happy I know it needs changing?
Maybe someone will come along with re-usable happy experience, maybe those don't fill up as quickly?

I can’t help with the nappy issue but if he’s suddenly drinking a lot more than usual and leaking through nappies please speak to your GP. It can be a symptom of diabetes.

My almost 2 year old wears a pair of "big boy pants" over his nappy in place of a poppered bodysuit / vest this help keeps his nappy in place & stops him pulling at it so much.

@tiredanddangerous thanks for pointing it out I hadn’t even thought of that.
