Newborn out-pooping all nappies

[sunshine 11]

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.

[Rowellen]

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!

I've always found that using a size slightly larger than DS needs helps with all kinds of leaks. The bigger the nappy, the more absorbent, right? Of course it has to fit still though

I think I've been lucky to only experience a couple of poosplosions which have escaped the nappy so far. *touch wood* lol. Good luck!

For us, flats or prefolds & covers. Never had a leak with them.

Could you grap a pack or 2 of terry flats from the supermarket? With DD I started out with 3 covers. I alternated them, letting them air between uses so I only had to wash them once a day. (purple to pink, air purple, pink to blue, air pink, blue back to purple etc)

Outters of SIO's can be used as covers too
