Leaking Huggie - HELP!

[Billy Ocean]

Hi girls,

I am having exactly the same problem with my little man in Huggies. Up the back, all over his clothes and the sheets! I'm pointing his penis down but that doesn't seem to help.

I don't feel quite ready for cloth nappies yet. We had a traumatic birth, lack of milk, weight loss etc so I'd like things to settle down a little before getting onto cloth. He'll be 2 weeks on Thursday. I can't afford to buy the all in one nappies (BBH etc) so it would just be flats. I planned to use the two packs of sposy's then go onto cloth but these leaks are terrible. As one of you just wrote, what a waste of money! I'm furious!

Anyway, I'm glad it's not just me.

Is there anything I can put into the nappies to absorb more urine just until I use these up? Poor little fella!

Hope everyone's going great.

Kate

Congrats on the birth of Billy, Kate!

I understand your need to wait until things settle to go into cloth. I did the same for a couple of weeks, but found once we changed over that it wasn't nearly as difficult as I'd imagined! In fact it was easier because I wasn't doing all the extra washing LOL!

How long are you leaving the sposies on for? You might need to change him more frequently. Or perhaps you could think about using a cover, like you would over a cloth nappy. You can get boosters etc, but it wouldn't be that cheap to buy as many as you'd need to get through the day. I think you might need to jsut stick it out until you swap to cloth....unless someone else has a bright idea!

Myabe try a different brand of sposies too..........

Hey Ezz

Not sure if you are still having probs but my suggestion is...get the next size up!!
When DS was in the same NB disposables he started leaking and getting wet all up his back too. I changed to crawlers (even though he was nowhere near 5kg+) and not a leak. The crawlers are for up to about 10kg. As soon as it starts happening again I will be going up a size.
