My little one is 9 days old and was 6lb 14 when born. We have been using aldi size 1 nappies and he keeps leaking almost every change covering his clothes in wee. It’s always up the same one side too. We bought some pampers size 0 thinking they were too big and the same thing is happening! We are first time parents so quite aware that we could be doing something wrong, but we are putting them on tightly and making sure they aren’t rolling down at the back when we pull his vest over - any ideas?!

Try different brands ad it definitely could be the brand. The other thing is that sometimes when leaking it actually means they need to size up so you could size up and see if that works
My daughter was pretty spot on for leaks and having to size up. Only time we had to change was when we went from nappies to pull ups and the brand we used just didn't cut it. X

We’re going through the same thing now even though my little one is 6 months old. We’ve been recommended by everyone, quite literally to try a size up!
Believe it or not, the nappy needs to LOOK like it’s big on them to be doing the right job I’d say !!x
thank you I did think that but he is still so small and only 9 days old I can’t see him needing size 2 already! I will try another brand do you have any recommendations x

So I used Fred and flo nappies from tescos at that age and found them to be great. Will be using them again for this LO due in 3 weeks. X

We found this was a problem with our little boy when using Asda little angels. When we switched to Fred and Flo we found they were so much better. Sainsbury’s own brand are pretty good too. Just be aware when you switch brand the sizing can also be very different, we had to move up to size 2 in Fred and Flo but could still use size 1 pampers

And you make sure the tapes are close to each other and you pull the leg cuff ruffles outwards and also make sure the backline is all the way up and straight?

i use these on my boy, 8lb 8oz when born. he’s now 4 weeks and never had a blow out and only had one pee leak… the time he leaked, the tapes weren’t meeting in the middle of the nappy and one ruffle was tucked in still , so we put it down to that and hasn’t happened since and was just that once x
