Newborn out-pooping all nappies

[megs]

Sorry I don't think I can help, my DS who is now 4 months had a habit of doing that but kept it mainly to occasions when we were out of the house.

I think sometimes it is more the force with which is comes out as much as anything else.

Hope someone else can come along with some ideas.

are they on nice and firm??? Also have you tried the old fashion squares?? Some babies are just tricky like that, if it is on nice and snug it should reduce it, and I would use covers until it settles down, even over the disposables, they rinse and dry faster then clothes!

My little guy did explosive poos (and cried everytime he did one, just to keep things fun). All I did was put him in one nappy size bigger, which did the trick. Only one size up gave us the extra room, whilst being able to still make it snuggly enough to keep in any poonamies. We only used disposibles. Good Luck

Covers over the AIO's?

I had to use only fitteds and covers with C for a while because he always leaked out. I discovered he needed a longer rise than the AIO's had. This is one reason why I started making my own too so I could custom fit and boost for him.

We're having the same problem using anything other than fitteds and covers. I'd use covers over the itti bittis.

I feel a bit silly now, hadn't even thought of putting cover over the aio. i think that should work well.

Don't feel silly. I didn't think of it until DD was a few months old & wanted to cover a disposable up under a dress then realised the added benefit. DS pooped on me too many times to count. I wish I had thought of it earlier. I hope it works for you.

Nothing to contribute except empathy - my five week old does the same!

Newborn poop can escape anything! Mine outpooped every nappy including several different brands of disposables. Very annoying but unfortunately unavoidable IMO. It will get better once solids start, as the poop firms up a bit. My only suggestion would be to pop a pul cover over the nappy for an extra level of protection.
