QuoteReplyTopic: Leaking ittis Posted: 28 June 2011 at 7:35pm
Me again laddies. My itti tuttos are only 3 weeks old. They have been washed a lot and were fantastic for my we boy and did last very well. So today i get my nappies off the line put 2 one after the other on my boy and they stunk and leaked within 1.5hours and his clothing was wet etc. I wash my nappies with warm water and eco store powder due to my sons bad eczema. And then i also do another full cold wash at the end. I have used canesten rinse maybe 4 times because my son had thrush when i first got the nappies. Any ideas why this might be happening? His gro via nappies are working fine. Lost

Where was the inserts wet? Was the whole thing soaking or just at the front? Can you re-adjust the way you snap them together so there is more abosorbancy at the front?
I dont like ecostore powder, it did nothing for my nappies, have you tried Rockin Green? My girl also gets excema, tho not very bad and it doesnt seem to affect it. Are you using liners?
I use flush away liners in the nappies. Quinns eczema is really bad. So i have to be so careful with what i use. I did think about trying rocking green but the cost is alot . I have them snapped so the padding is to the front. And they were working great. Just the front is wet but the leaking is out the top of the nappie. Quinn is very little for his age 7.7kgs and i have the nappy set on the large setting. Surely i would not need to make it the xl setting? he is not long at all. Off the bottom of the chart for weight and height I guess im just going to have to try these things and see what works.

I'm pretty sure itti bitti have said not to use ecostore powder anymore, since it changed but the liquid is ok. Don't think that is your issue though...
I sometimes find that DS leaks out the top of the nappy if I've done it up quite low at the front or if he wees lots while he's on his tummy or crawling...
I would think that at 7.7kg you only need to have the nappy on the medium setting though, rather than the large...maybe try that?
ETA: You can get samples of Rockin' Green for $3.50 to see if it's ok for your DS' eczema...and to do a strip wash just in case.
Angie i do point it down but he is at the stage of moving all the time when im trying to put a nappy on so that could be the problem. I will keep a eye on that.
Jaune oh dear i did not relise. So i can only use the eco store liquid? Ok i will get some rockin green to try. Which would be the best to try cause there are so many?
I will also try the med setting.

Any of the Rockin green is okay, bare naked babies is the one with no smell.
As the other suggest have a play around with the sizing and see if that helps. I know I had to size up way before I thought I needed to as the front was dragging down, Itti Bitti always suggest to size up and not down.
Ekk i set the tutto on the med setting and it was a big disaster. Number 2s right up back and side. And wet through after 2hours although i dont mind changing this often i was getting 3 hours out of them which suited us better when out and about. I am wondering if its something to do with the Neocate making him pee more? as he only went on it last wednesday and since then we have had problems. Maybe i should get some more boosters. Will put a pic up later with how i set the nappy up as it does not seem to be how other people do it. I need to go and get batteries first.
Im a little worried as i am going back to work in 2 weeks time and DP is going to be the stay at home dad. If the nappies leak he wont use them

Hi Wriggles I have 9 tuttos and the moment and 2 others have been sent back with snap problems. Then i have 8 gro via and another 4 on the way and 2 pop ins. My problem is that its taking a good 2 days to get my nappies dry at the moment. I have orded more ittis in the Australian sale but have not heard back about shipping yet . And i brought another 3 last night. I like the Tuttos more so i go for them first. I might just have to order more. Oh and i better order some more boosters. Thanks
