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....

    • The person behind the till won't know about whether or not an assignment of their lease has been purchased by a company like Tesco.  Poundland was sold for a nominal fee so it's unsurprising that the location may close soon. As well, for what it's worth, someone working in the shop is likely to have their job impacted by the shop closing, so having loads of people going and asking them about the potential closing of their shop isn't really nice. "Hey, hear you'll be out of a job soon. Know much about that?" The best resource you all should be using for queries about planning details of new shops is the council's website. As was stated on the first page of this post, there's an application lodged for multiple changes at 29-35 Lordship Lane with the client as Tesco. They wouldn't lodge these plans unless it was happening, or at least extremely likely to happen.    The application is on the council's website here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVW246KBKF500&activeTab=summary 
    • It's a notice about a licence, but the only name on it is Poundland.
    • What did the notice on the front door say? The planning applications currently being considered clearly refer to Tesco Stores Ltd.  The signage for above the entrance says "Tesco Express". I can't imagine the two companies combining in the same space 😉  
    • I will find out. Haven't been up there yet!
