Different Nappies

Just a couple of questions.

Do you have the right size on him? As mine use to leak when he was getting close to the upper weight limit and I would have to move up.

Are you pointing his boys bits down? If not, it can cause leakage as they then pee up and out the top of the nappy.

Which brand are you using? I found huggies heaps better at holding wee so used them for the first 6 weeks, then swapped and used either treasures giggles or Loving touch during the day and huggies at night.

How often are you changing? It use to work out at roughly every 2 hours when Mac was little. I use to find much longer than that in the cheapies would end in diaster.

How are you sleeping him? I side slept Mac and that caused huge problems with leakage so ended up putting a cover obver his nappy at night to prevent leakages.

Hope this helps!

Wow!
haha okay, I have treasures, huggies and loving touch - was trying them to see which was the best - they all suck. He's got the newborn ones on - as he's only a wee fella and funny they do seem a little big. His boy bits are pointing down - I kinda came to that conclusion myself that it would be logical :P
He sleeps half on his back and half on his side (so he's on a lean) cuz of his wind and vomiting, Oh and he gets changed every couple of hours cuz he's such a good boy and goes regularly :D
It doesnt seem that i'm doing anything wrong - if the prem nappies werent so bloody expensive i'd get him into those instead.

i use huggies with no probs.

try
cien naps
air naps
sealer naps

these are all brilliant and IMHO much better than huggies. there's a store in papanui that sells them or you can buy online.......there is 'the nappy store' on river rd that may sell them too, have a lookee in the ph book

This one pees like he's been on the booze all night! Its unbelieveable lol.
Vanessa i'll try the nappy store - thats like, 1 road away from where I live :D
I have the flaps out and i'm doing everything I should be.. Its so bizarre.
I dont wanna get the modern ones cuz i'm just too cheap to pay $30 for ONE. (thats what I saw in the baby city shop anyway)

As Stacey said, there are some you can get cheaper than $30 but it seems very bizarre that you don't want to pay $30 for ONE that you will use over and over and over again but you will pay over 50 cents for ONE that you throw away. I don't get it.

You only have to use one washable nappy once per day for 2 months to make your money back from them.

But apart from that... I don't have any suggestions. Just had to jump in on the cheapy logic

alot of people don't like them.....but i never had a problem...peapods $20 cheap and re-usable.......or drybees $18.90 + insert

I had issues with leakage when he was little. What weight is he?

Hence all my questions above as it really was a process of elimation. Your best bet maybe to buy a couple of covers to tied you over until he gains a little weight. I think the cheapest plave I found the covers was TnT.

My eldest kept leaking especially at night. I combatted it with plastic overpants.

With regard to dryups etc. If you call Nappies for Less (babyonline.co.nz) they will send you some samples so you can choose the best for you. I found the AIR and Dryups great.
