lupilu (Lidl) nappies size 3… where’s the yellow/blue line?!

Hey guys. Just moved up a nappy size and realised these ones don’t appear to have the coloured indicator to let you know baby has dirtied the nappy, unlike the size 1 and 2. I’ve taken a picture of a size 3 for reference, any idea if I’m missing something here? 😅😂

Edit: I thought it might be the waves blue green line on the size but he wet his nappy and this didn’t change colour

I doubt they have it. I had to switch to Aldi size 3

They may not have one - the Tesco Fred & Flo size 3s don’t. Google says it’s likely cost saving for manufacturers as the bigger nappies use more material so they remove the “nice to have” features.

I don’t think the Lidl nappy size 3 has one. I was looking for it also 😭

So glad I’ve seen this moving my son upto size 3 soon and I use this brand!! Can’t believe the colour indicator is gone 😢 I quite enjoyed it (as clear as it is to see when my son needs changing 🤣)

Welcome to the smell check phase 😆 size 3s don’t usually have the line! You’ll soon get used to life without it xx

Yeah size 3s no longer have the indicator. It's because their wees get bigger so you'll be able to tell it's wet by touch instead of needing the line. I think Pampers might still have it

Aldi size 3 still has it but I don’t tend to use it anymore myself, I can feel if he’s been for a wee

Asda do size 3 in newborn style still with the wet indicators. I actually think they're great nappies, had no issues so far with a pack I got Friday. I've tried a few different ones because I loved the Tesco newborn ones but now they've gone green I find they leave lo's skin wet so won't get anymore. I rate Nutmeg aswell but they've no indicator.

My friend told me that most places don’t do wetness indicators the bigger the nappies unfortunately :(

We don’t have an issue with Asda nappies. Little man is never sore, barely ever leaks (usually only a serious poonami) and I think they fit nicely too!

Thanks everyone, this was so helpful. 🥹🩵

Hello, just a quick question : are lupilu nappies good in general? I'm planning to use them for my newborn. But I have heard many bad comments. But they are so cheap! What would be your review? Thanks!

@Julia I found them to be the poorest design, didn't hold anything in for my little one as they had no elastic waistband on the back. Aldi Mamia were my favourite newborn nappies they're only 85p a 24 pack. Tesco were also cheap and good as newborn but i don't rate the size 3 ones. Morrisons newborn were good too £1.80 for 50 pack. My little boy is now in size 3 and out of all the size 3, I prefer Morrisons Ultra Dry and Asda as a close second.

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.
