Size 8 nappies on 6 month old !

My 2 and a half year old is in a size 7.
Have you tried pull ups instead? They might fit better.
I don't think they do bigger than a size 8?

@Laurie I haven't tried them thats what my worry is maybe I'm putting the wrong size on th3 band goes around in size 5 and size 8 but they leave marks on his legs

Not meaning to stress you out - Also do a check for hip dysplasia just to be on the safe side

@Isobel he was a breech baby so had an xray and thankfully that was fine x

My 18 month old is in size 8 Pampers swaddlers. I don’t think Pampers go past a size 8 mama ☹️ the next step would be toddler diapers.
I’m not saying it’s not normal, please don’t take it the wrong way but the size 8 diapers are pretty big- are you sure you’re using them the correct way? A six month old would be around a size 2/3 diaper. You mention your little one has chunky thighs, my little one was in size 4 diapers when she was a 6 months.

I think at 6 months the average size nappy is 2-3. Size 8 sounds very big but all babies are different. Just wonder if you can get someone to check for you x

Get your baby weighed and then look at the weight guidelines on the nappy packaging

@Jocelyn maybe I'm not using them wrote I don't know . Who donibask for help with this I don't have any family around .

@Sophie he is around 7kg but I was told the weight is just a guideline. Maybe i need to change nappies or figure out how to use then.

My baby is heavier than that and he’s only on size 4. Yes, it’s only a guideline but you should be close to it, not way out.
Watch some YouTube videos or ask your health visitor 😊

Thankyou I will do that x

@Reena my babybhad chunky legs so I'm thinking that whybinkeep going a size up

I find Asda nappies good for chunky legs and they have a size guide on the waistband to tell you when to go up to the next size

@Rachael thankyouu that sounds helpful

Size 8 sounds too big for a 6 month old, my 15 month old is in size 5 pampers and my almost 3 year old is in size 8.

I was gonna post a video and show it to you but the app is telling me it’s too long :(
Do you have the Pampers app downloaded? It shows you on the app as well how the diaper should go on

I wonder if you are letting the leg cuff be too far down the thigh. Like it should be up in his creases like a pair of knickers/bikini bottoms

@Jocelyn I haven't but I will today

oh noni dotn put it in that part I leave it loose sonitnis down his thighs I will try this at his next nappy change

Hey hope you got it figured out but if not, just out of curiosity - are you having any leaks or issues other than the tightness to make you go up a size? MyLO was just over 7kg and yesterday I got size 4 pants for overnight as the smaller ones are filling up fast but we use size 3 comfortably during the day though the diaper brand makes a huge difference ...
