going to tried the dispoable liners. where do you get them?
I'm not sure where you get them but id hazzard a guess and say you can prob get them where you buy the cloth nappies? Or perhaps ring mothercare, boots or tesco and ask if they sell them? Perhaps someone who uses the cloth nappies can answer.

We started giving or oldest a smaller sized bottle before his bedtime, the bottle itself is half the size of the regular ones, but he still thought he was getting the same amount as it was still full. Sneaky daddy.
As for people saying you're over feeding them, we found that with both of them, they will only ever eat/drink whatever is enough for them, sometimes it was half what they normally eat, other times it was one and a half times, but we never ever force it in to them and let them tell us what they need and it's worked perfectly, with any significant weight gain always trending to be directly before a growth spurt which would cancel out any small amount of extra pudge, which I imagine is just as nature intended.
Also, you can't really go wrong if you're following the Annabel Karmel book, it's pretty spot on.0 -

I have no idea of his weight?
he was 20lbs at 4 months :eek: his weight and height were 96th percentile.
I think he is very heavy (not fat though)
he wears 9-12, 12-18 month clothes depending on brand. I would say he is 13kg if not just under as he is just coming out of the baby car seat (in height)
My son is 13.1 kg and is in size 5's0 -
Every morning for the last 2 weeks my 7 month old has woke up wet
all the way through to his vest, babygrow and growbag.
I have tried lid, aldi, dunnes, in size 4 and even bought pampers baby 4+and he is still wet. All of the nappies are grand during the day. (And used to be grand at night)
He gets a 6oz bottle at 7pm and will sleep till 7am. If I change him in his sleep at say 10/11 he will be dry in the morning. (I don't want to do this).
Does anyone have suggestions ? Thanks a mil
My baba is a year now and she's a wee toot, albeit long. I've had her in size 5 nappies for months now. They are very big on her but I just like to know that she won't leak, I had a few accidents too. She hasn't had any since I put her in the bigger nappies. No harm in going a few sizes up if you need to.0 -

Have you tried the disposable liners at all?
I'd be worried that if you go a size too big, they'd leak even more, because there'd be gaps at the side, if you know what I mean!
The issue might just be that (a) he's feeding (and therefore weeing) more than the average baby, for whom the nappies are designed. And (b) that he's sleeping so well, and for longer than most babies, so obviously more wee will collect.
Neither of these things are "problems" as such, in fact both are brilliant things!
Who doesn't want a baby that feeds and sleeps so well!
But I'm thinking that the size/shape/brand of the nappies isn't what's causing the leaks, moreso the fact that the absorption just isn't adequate for the quantity of liquid. So the disposable liners could very well solve the problem for you. I think it's worth a try!0 -

I was back to work this week so didn't get a chance to search for those liners. He doesn't drink more than normal only around 20oz milk now per day. Maybe 3 oz max of water. The two leaks were only small, but last nights was soaking. I think it was because OH gave him 9oz at 4pm when he usually only gets 5oz.
They leak up at belly not at legs I thought good old aldi would solve the problem but their 4+ nappies have not got that crazy padding in that the size 2s had when we used them. 0 -

Change him when you're going to bed yourself maybe so he has a fresh nappy on for the longest part of the night?
Might not wrk if he's a light sleeper though.0 -

Yes I think that will defo work but I would prefer not to do it 0 -

But really nappies aren't designed for 12-13 hours usage, are they?
My own baby would sleep maybe 9pm-7am, and never wakes up (which is great!), but I feel that even those hours are pushing it. Any longer and he'd definitely be leaking, I reckon. Besides, I wouldn't want him to be sitting in a wee-filled nappy for any longer. It can't be good for their skin, can it?
It's brilliant that he sleeps so well, but I think that a nappy change when you're going to bed yourself is maybe the way to go.0 -
