HELP!  They leak!!

• If the cover leaks:
  is it the right size - look for gaps around the legs, or marks on the tummy to suggest whether you need a different size cover
• If the nappy is fully wet then either:
  the nappy is too small for your baby.  Add a booster or get a bigger nappy
  OR the nappy is lacking absorbency. 
  • Have you prewashed your nappies prior to use
  • Is the barrier cream you have used on your baby got onto the nappies making them waterproof (hot soak and wash is required).  It is important to use a flushable liner if you are using barrier creams/waxes/tui bee balme
  • Have the nappies got excess detergent residue or fabric softner residue on them making them less absorbent
• If the cover fits and the nappy isn't fully wet, BUT there is leakage onto the baby's clothes then check that all the bits of the nappy, including the liner are tucked inside the cover so the wetness doesn't wick onto clothes
• Make sure that you haven't folded 2 layers of flushable liner next to each other - this slows the absorption of wetness into the nappy, and it tends to shoot off the liner out of the sides of the nappy - very annoying!  Either tuck the liner right round the nappy, or cut it in half for small babies and get twice as many!

My baby is waking up wet!

Ecobots covers are waterproof enough to be able to be used overnight.  Check all the stuff above about leaks.  There is no reason that your baby should be wet right through in the morning - washing bedclothes daily is NOT fun!

• Add more absorbancy at night.  Use a smaller nappy, like a prem, to boost, or get a microfibre booster.  Always use the microfibre underneath the cotton as it absorbs alot really quickly, but doesnt hold onto it well, the moisture can squish back out unless there's a slower absorber in with the microfibre; and it doesn't feel that nice next to the skin
• You might find that you need to use a bigger size cover at night than you do in the daytime, so you have more room for nappies

My baby has nappy rash!

it is normal for babies to get nappy rash when they are teething, as their saliva changes and this affects (eventually) the urine and faeces as well.  Other things that they swallow can change their faeces/urine and burn their skin (think of yourself with a decent curry to get what I mean). 
Having a barrier against faeces is a good idea, tui bee balme is great, and there are others that are also good.  If you are using a barrier cream, make sure you are using a flushable liner (and flush it if it has barrier cream on it) so the nappies dont become waterproof.
Then think of these things:

• is my baby reacting to disposable baby wipes?  Not uncommon, throwaway wipes have perfumes, wettting agents etc., and these can be the cause of rashes
• is my baby reacting to the laundry process?  Common to be sensitive (again often to the perfumes) to laundry powders, including eco-friendly ones.  Try changing your laundry powders and soakers to a different brand, or try using soapnuts and tea tree oil for a chemical free option
• Am I washing the nappies well enough?  If they are smelly when they are dry, or super smelly when they get peed on, then they might not be getting clean enough - and holding bacteria etc in them, which is reacting to your baby's skin.  Have a check through the washing pages.
