Nappies starting to leak? - Page 2

princessellie · Nov 22nd, 2009, 07:26 AM

to strip its better to do the first wash on cold with the full amount of powder then a hot wash and maybe another rinse if it needs it but mine usually dont, hot water can set the smells and it'll be harder to get them out, i know thats not your problem but just for future reference

if theyre leaking it could just be that as hes getting older hes weeing more? i know leyla wees a lot more now cos shes eating / drinking loads more so could just be that and youd need to use more boosters or a more absorbant booster like bamboo or hemp

if its fleece it can get wrecked easily if you use nappy creams and they would need to be hand scrubbed with fairy

something i really hope i never have to do cos then it needs about 37million rinses to get all the fairy out lmao

Thankfully weve never needed to use nappy creams

OH does use talc though :/

I was thinking heavier wetting from getting older aswell so have bought more inserts anyways.

i dont think talc does anything, i think its more the greasiness of the nappy cream that blocks it up, like u cant rinse sudocrem off ur hand but u could with talc iykwim?

hope u get on better with the new inserts, what did u get?

you'll have to use more than that id think if hes a heavy wetter, but if you use them on top of your old ones they should be fine

let us know how u get on with them

Theyre to go on top of the ones we already have

Are they the fleecy cotton ones? I have those and they are sooooo very very soft, I love them. They are not very absorbant though, I just use them to keep her bum dry.
