Hi,
I have a teething baby, with leaky nappies due to fluid Poo (TMI - sorry)

We have assorted reusables and I also use folded nappies, which fold is best for containment?

thanks
Sassib

For prefolds, try fanning it out at the back.
Here is an example:

By folded do you mean terry squares or prefolds?

The 'poo catcher' or 'angel wing' fold is suitable for both.

If you have fitted nappies, something with elastication at the back as well as the legs should be good.

Mother-ease Sandy's are fab at poo containment in my experience - I took them with me when dd4 was in hospital for 2 days with a really foul tummy bug, green liquid nappies - ick! The nurses thought I was mad, until they realised we were the only ones on the ward not suffering nappy leakages (and the only ones using cloth). HA! So who's mad now then?

As for terries, if you mean terry squares, make sure you are rolling in the nappy at the legs when you have done it up, and also make sure no liner is poking out.
