Explosive poop & nappy leaking

I was always told if they poop and it comes out back and front to size up.

Are you making sure that when her nappy is on, that the sides of it aren’t tucked in? My little one used to have so many explosions until I started untucking the sides of his nappies around by his bum! I also use Morrisons own brand x

Size up, make sure the ruffles are out around the thighs and fold the back in to make a little guard to keep poop from coming out the back.

Get some cloth diaper covers and put that over the disposable. As a mum that used cloth exclusively I didn’t even get one blowout- not one. They have real elastics, like same one on our bathers, nothing can escape those. Try Amazon. I don’t trust any disposable to hold in a huge blowout, I do trust the cloth.

So she was in size 4 Aldi and this is when it first started happening out the legs, the legs seem to have quite a lot of room for it to leak out. So went back down to size 3 pampers. Which also seem a little loose but not as bad. Still not fixed the situation though 😩 Always pull frilly sides bits out yes.

@Kellie oooo these look great, where are they from please?

Amazon OP. Omg the girls’ sets are super cute 😍 I have the “best Mum” one https://www.amazon.com/Mama-Koala-Diapers-Babies-Inserts/dp/B0D941Y9K3/ref=mp_s_a_1_18_maf_2?crid=1HO7SK187EWLG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QU95NH-Gv4Q3OA92zzQ0hbls-6N9Z9tRvV88VYJv5yeulmKwF70cvvsTJVi6TXSkF7oCbNO4uE-2qLhrhgnfDNzGvLuWx55NnSB5IRRFYT2dgJq-3kfV5Usl37se31qLi135BwSLbca8Rhs9ZqrZG9hxjPCHUa8QaA4aKQyw_vdEt0Vu4mIOUqTUlgWeN8pki8aEfCsac3hiqWper2VBOQ.jrMd5XbOkoT9w5xb6rocSbEK0yl9iaiACcWEZ0ZH8XE&dib_tag=se&keywords=cloth%2Bdiaper%2Bcovers&qid=1743110882&sprefix=cloth%2Bdiaper%2Bcover%2Caps%2C390&sr=8-18&th=1&psc=1

Absolutely in the same boat. It’s been happening since January. I’ve tried all different brands of nappies too and have tried sizing up. Have tried using a reusable nappy over the top of a normal nappy but it’s so bulky under her clothes.

@Kellie thank you!! I’m going to have a browse x

Another vote for reusable nappies - they are so much better at containing poop. If you want a cheap way to do it, you can pick up second hand prefolds from Vinted and just buy your covers new (you can often find sales). You can buy second hand covers too but if you don’t know what you’re looking at, you could end up with some that are no longer waterproof so I don’t recommend them for people new to reusables.

@Liz I bought a bambino mio all in one reusable nappy from Amazon but not entirely sure how to use it 🤣 do you recommend using disposable or washable liners? It says to change after every 2-4 hours is that the whole nappy or just the liner? Because how would this work at nighttime? Sorry for all the questions x

@Sally personally I thought disposable liners were a complete waste of time. They scrunch up and are just more hassle than they’re worth. Washable are much better - but you don’t really need them in the Bambino Mios as they use fleece next to baby’s bum. It may make it a tad easier for cleaning up depending on how you’re planning to clean them (some people hold the liner under the flush - just make sure you don’t let go!) It will have a sewn in insert, but I’d recommend adding another - there’s a handy pocket in the Mios you can pop one in to help keep it in place when you stuff it. I’d recommend Little Lamb bamboo as they’re slimline so don’t add much bulk. Yes you will need to change more frequently than disposable. Night nappies tend to be fitted nappies rather than any of the other types. A fitted nappy is typically made of hemp or bamboo, and you fit the nappy to baby and then add an outer waterproof wrap. Because the whole nappy is absorbent they last a lot longer but…

…they are bulkier as a result.

@Liz thank you so much for the info! I think I need to be brave and make the change to cloth to try and stop the car blowouts. Just with needing to change more frequently how would this work when out and about for the day, like how do you deal with/store the used nappy until back at home? x

@Sally I have a wet bag for the used ones, and a pod for the clean ones. The pod also contains wipes and a changing mat so I can just grab that when I need to do a nappy change! If we’re out for a long day, it can be quite tricky to work out how many nappies you need and fit them all in - we pop an emergency single use nappy in the pod too just in case we need an extra, for example because we are out longer than anticipated or we have an unexpected poop! As they are obviously much smaller and easier to fit in.
