Greetings,
my wife and I have recently welcomed our son Alexander into the world and have returned from the hospital. We have decided to start on disposable nappies but are having trouble with leaks (urine) while he sleeps. We would like to avoid him getting wet and also wetting his romper and bassinet sheet so little man doesn't get irritated and also so Dad doesn't have to wash all the time. What may be common causes of leakage? We are doing the nappy up relatively tightly (we could probably go tighter though), the nappies we are using are Huggies which are supposed to be ok and we are using up to 5kg size (small). Our son was very large (10lbs 10oz) so we are at the threshold in terms of nappy size to his weight but the next size up are just way too big. Could we try PVC nappy covers over disposable nappies? While I'm sure leaking nappies are a common occurrence any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks. Johnny.
