Easy pull-up nappies?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I'm not sure if this should be in Diapering or EC. My 13 mo DD has been using the potty for several months now, first thing in the morning and at nappy changes. Sometimes she's dry between potty uses, although usually she's wet. She's now started (sometimes) signalling that she wants to wee, by pulling at her clothes. She's able to wait long enough for me to take off her clothes (trousers, poppered vest, nappy wrap, nippered nappy) and help her get on the potty before she wees - so far, so fantastic . But the problem I have is getting a clean nappy on again afterwards - I can only do the nippa up if she's lying down, and this is not popular with her. I really don't want to put her off using the potty, and also it means I avoid putting her on unless I'm definite she wants to go, because I want to limit the stress for both of us of re-nappying. I can't leave her nappy free because we're currently living in my parents house with carpeted floors. I don't have a lot of ÂŁÂŁ, but any suggestions for easier cloth nappies I could use that can pull up, or that I could at least put on with her sitting up? I'm cautious about using training pants because of the risk of poo escaping - she poos on the potty every morning but sometimes will poo once or twice later in the day in her nappy.

I have said this on here several times before but the best and least expensive pull up trainers that I have found are from www.sassycloth.com. She is a WAHM and will custom make the pull ups for you. You can get them w/ snap sides or velcro sides or non-opening sides. They are tight enough that they do contain a missed poo. They hold one big pee (but she can make them more absorbant if you want) and get slightly leaky around the legs with a second big pee (this happens for us occasionally at night). I wish that I had gone to pull ups sooner. It makes pottying so much easier.
