My 5 month old leaks through her nappy at least once a day - usually when she's in her bouncer or car seat.
I'm not sure if it's the nappy itself or the position she's in that causes the leak.
Should the right sized nappy be able to contain everything, even a poonami in the car? I've tried sizing up and down, and I've used nappies from sainsburys, rascals, Tesco, Aldi and pampers but they still leak through. She doesn't ever leak at night x

Have you looked at her vest size? I find that if I’m having a lot of poop up my babys back, it’s because the vest are getting too small so when in the seated position, the poop has nowhere else to go as there is no give on the vest forcing it up the back

Try sizing up!

Agree with vest size. Also, have you tried Peaches nappies? They are quite good.

It’s the nappy itself. You can try sizing up both the nappy and the vest. But since we used cloth I didn’t even get one leak not one blowout. The poo could be filled up the to the elastics inside and nothing will seep OUT. Never cleaned a blowout. What you can do is get some cloth diaper covers and put that over the disposable esp when you go out. That gave me peace of mind that if he pooped, it won’t leak and go everywhere it shouldn’t. His onesies never touched poop. I cleaned the car seat once a year but just because it was generally dirty not coz of poop. He’s never ever gotten poop “up the back” the day that happens I’ll think I’ll win the lottery lol.
I've tried the next size up and bigger vests :( she's currently 6kg wearing size 3 (4-11kg) they are quite big on her so I wouldn't be able to use any bigger, her vests are 3-6 and still quite baggy everywhere

Get some cloth diaper covers and put that over the disposable OP 🙃
thank you, I might try this. Never thought about using cloth nappies
