Hi,
Ok so since he has developped the art of sitting by himself, he only seems to poop while sitting - guess its natural. Anyway a lot of the time, as he sits, it seems to shoot up the back of the nappy and escapes. What am I doing wrong? Nappy too loose, too big, not big enough?? Does this happen for everyone? -------------

Hmm, have you tried doing the waist up tighter? If there isn't enough slack to do that, maybe go up a size? My girl sleeps in a toddler size huggies at night, and she's tiny (like 8and a half kg) so the tabs meet in the middle, but we havn't had any leakages (of either kind) since we began doing this. ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

I did wonder if we should go up a size, not sure we could do them up much tighter, and he is already in toddler size nappies!!! Maybe I am doing it up all wrong. will try doing up tighter first I think. -------------

Snap! If I can catch DS with his poo face - or hear him - I make him stand up or get him upright so there is more room in the nap and the poo doesn't shoot upwards.
I got a poo in the jolly jumper today. As you can imagine, it was glorious!! TBH, I don't think a bigger nappy would solve the problem, we just live with it. -------------

| I frequently have to deal with this! Doesn't matter what type of nappy either, although his MCN's with good back elastic are better at holding it in. I just got used to having a little man who does huge poo explosions! |
