UUURRRGGGHHHH Im so over leaks!!!!

What are you stuffing them with?

How frustrating! How heavy is your boy? I have a long thin DD and have found ittis great. Most others i've tried on her have leaked. I could flick you a spare (used) medium itti for $15 + $2.50 postage if you want? If it doesn't work, you can send it back to me, so it would only cost you the postage to try it.

Where are you based? Can you try borrowing a few off friends to try? If you found a better choice you could flick yours on TM to fund new ones.

Is it a wet leak you are talking about or a pooh leak?

Were they second hand the ones you got? Maybe they need stripping?

Maybe a multi fit one that you snap the legs hole smaller than the waist ?

Sell a couple of the ones you don't like, then use that money to purchase something else.

Have you tried your prefolds with a snappi? I find it works much better then just placing the nappy in the cover. If you google "nappy folding" you will find different ways to fold your prefods so you ca work out what workes best for your baby. I also find bummis super brite covers much better then real nappies cover or any other covers I've tried. They have dubble gussets around the legs and are easier to get a tight fit with no gaping.

Hi Kitkat,

I have used nap naps on my son, who is the same age as yours since he was 4 weeks old. (I just kinda lurk in the may babies!)

We have never had any trouble with them and they are one size fits all, so you should be able to adjust them to fit L's legs.

The nappy needs a cover, and these come in three different sizes. We don't have any leakage problems and I think it helps having the two layers. We use the merino covers and just air them between wearing. Only wash if we have a poo leakage.

Just checked out trade me and there are some second hand ones listed cheaply. (4 for $10) and others if you would like to try them out. I have some spare covers that I can send to you for nothing if you want them. (we don't use them as we use the merino ones.)
check out natural parenting for more info.

hope this helps.

Wow... lots of questions- here goes:

Real nappies (theyre 'prefolds' ey?) gave L bum rash. really bad. I know it was the material-because as soon as we changed, it went. Plus they leaked up top at the back, even though the inner was folded right etc- I went and got the shop to confirm. I know they work well for others- just didnt for L) We always use ecostore to wash with too.
We used a snappi too....
This has put me off other similar systems.

Ive stripped the inners too... so it aint that- they just dont fit round the leg.

I am a useless sewer.... so I wont go there with making my own Theyd fall apart first wash!!

We use a disposable at night- Natures choice- theyre made of corn so I feel a bit better about it. They are awesome- no leaks ever (well only in extreme cases)
The idea of waking him in the night for a change is not an option in my opinion (sorry not meant to sound rude ) Im still catching up from when he was born.

Nap naps- I did consider this in the beginning- maybe Ill give them a go now....

You guys are awesome help- thankyou so much for all this.

I know there must be one that works... I am exhausted on top of it all, so thankyou so so much.

Real nappies gave my DD nappy rash until I started using a stay dry liner with them.

GL with finding something that works for you.

I have a baby cheeks you could borrow to try. They have adjustable leg elastics. My newborn is in them and my 23months old is too. At least you can adjust the leg size accordingly. I'm in Mosgiel by the way

Kat, an itti bitti is a trimmer fit than most nappies

If they are fitting around the legs then all good

My boy should really be in a small cause his legs are so skinny but I have him in a med. Legs gap a little but they hold all his liquid poos so I'm happy.
