Reusable Nappy Fitting Guide

Lay bub on top of the nappy so that the back of the nappy is roughly in line with their bely button.
Squeeze the middle of the nappy as you fold it up and tuck the leg elastics into the leg crease.
Pull the tab snug against the baby and hold in plase as you fasten the hop and front snaps.
Repeat on the other side.

Note: hip snaps are optional for chunkier babies!
There should be a two finger gap between baby's belly and the top of the nappy.
There should be no gaps at the legs. Run a finger around leg elastic to check.
Leg elastics should be tucked into leg crease.
Tuck excess fabric at the rise snaps upwards towards belly tutton.

I need help with...	Solution
Sagging at front	Pull nappy up higher at front, possibly go one rise setting bigger. Go tighter on waist snaps if allows.
Leg gaps	Adjust to a smaller rise setting.
Sagging at the back	Pull nappy up further at back. Change nappy more frequently if nappy is full and sagging down.
Leaking out tummy	Add more absorbency to front.
Leaking around legs	Check leg gaps as above. Otherwise, add more absorbency to groin and/or change more frequently.
Red marks around leg elastics	Ensure leg elastics are tucked right up into leg crease. Some red marks (sock marks) are normal but if it looks sore, try adding more absorbency, changing more frequently and using a barrier cream.
Teething poos	Poos are more frequent and acidic so change more frequently than usual. Don't let bub sit in a poo. Use a barrier and soothing cream.
