Newborn out-pooping all nappies

[HotI]

My 2 month old DS leaks whenever he poops. It happens with AIOs itti bittis and BHs, also with disposables. I don't think i have had a leak with the fitteds and covers, but they don't hold as much wee and i don't have enough of them to use all the time. The leaks are usually out the legs but can be out the back as well. I am changing as soon as he poops but they just can't hold it in.

Is this just something to work around? (keep changes of clothes!) He is in smalls, i tried a medium itti bitti but that was worse.

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.

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.

Hun I've got some covers you could borrow if you need more, let me know. PUL, tots bots brand, few different sizes.
