It's all change, again this morning, sheets, duvets, etc, as my daughter had another nappy leak in bed. It seems like recently whenever she sleeps on her front with her knees underneather her, the urine just rolls down the inner front of the nappy and out of the the top. I'm suspecting that changing her last nappy in the dark last night I might not have made it tight enough? But then again how tight do I have to make it?? And, the position she gets herself into seem to make a gap at the front of her nappy no matter how tight I pull it! If I cut off the circulation to her head with the nappy, is that tight enough???!!! Arrrgh.


Has this happened to anyone else? Are some brands of nappy better than others for this kind of thing? Or is it (yet another) phase to be suffered through? xx

I have a boy so it may be different. We use an eco brand called Beaming Baby,they are absolutely the best nappies I've used in terms of absorbency. And I was a nanny for 20 years before having my son,so have used many of the usual brands and tried lots of other eco brands too. I buy them in the Fourways Pharmacy in Herne Hill but I think you can get them in the health food shop on Lordship Lane,sorry can't remember the name.
Happend to us too and I did the same as pripolla and went up a size which seemed to work. I also tried Toujours (from Lidl) after they got the 'Mumsnet Best' nappy award this year and have found them to be good. They go higher up than other nappies I've tried which seems to 'contain' things!
I think we may need to go up a size, but absorancy isn't the issue. Sometimes when this kind of leak happens, the nappy is almost dry inside! I think it could be that my daughter is very tall for her age, so her hip is very deep from top to bottom. I might give Toujours a try. We're in Pampers active fit at the moment.
This happened to us, and I went up a size of nappy, but also, when I put the last nappy of the day on, I made sure to fix the tabs right at the top of the nappy, above the patterned band where you normally fix them. This did the trick and we haven't had a leak since.
Motherease wrap plus motherease nappy plus pampers babydry works a treat on my lanky baby - again, it wasn't so much about increasing volume as getting good bum coverage, if you see what I mean. There's a thread I started a couple of months ago called heavy wetter at night I can dig out for you....

    • By ‘adopting’ you would still have to pay for the dog.  Do you have children?  Have you ever had a dog before?  Looked after anyone’s dog?  Work away from home?  Are there any breeds you are particularly interested in?    I would suggest going to Discover Dogs which is part of Crufts but that won’t be until next year now. That way you can meet many different breeds and their owners.  They used to have a standalone DD at the Excel Centre in November but I don’t think it exists anymore. You could also go to different dog shows to see different breeds. They are held throughout the year.  if you get certain breeds like a shitzu or poodle then you’d have to factor in grooming costs if you can’t do it yourself.  You can always keep them in a very short clip.  Many dogs shed a lot including short haired dogs like pugs.  Golden retrievers are also notorious for shedding.  I personally would never get a brachy dog like a pug, French bulldog or English bulldog ever.    If you get a well bred dog from a breeder and can meet the parents then you would get an idea of what the dog will turn out like.  Sometimes breeders have dogs returned to them for various reasons including illness of the owner.  You could look for such a dog.  It’s important that all dogs are socialised correctly during their first year as well as being exposed to outside influences. If this doesn’t take place then the dog has been done a disservice.  But, there’s no substitute to good breeding in my opinion or if you are getting an older dog perhaps you could foster first to get to know them.  You could end up with a dog who’d been badly treated in a previous home and that would take a lot of fixing.   If you are interested in sight hounds, @galgosdelsol are a rescue in Spain run by an English woman (they are on Instagram and have a website) who rehomes Galgos, Spanish dogs similar to greyhounds.  They are often dumped by Spanish hunters if they won’t hunt and retrieve.  They are thoroughly assessed and trained before being rehomed. A breeder of my favourite breed in York works with a Romanian rescue and she fosters a few dogs a year in order to rehome them in the UK.  She’s even kept a few herself.      
    • Agree.  They also send emails out saying when they’ve received it and on day of delivery say what time in a three hour gap to expect it.
    • I have been doing a lot of posts and liking a lot - to see if we are rate limited. It appears we are to some extent, with "likes". How do people manage to get into the mid 20,000's of posts on here? That is some commitment.
