Swim Diaper That Will Contain 7MO BF Poo :)

My 7.5 month old will be starting swim classes at the end of the month. I have disposable swim diapers, but have read information stating that some pools won't even allow them (by themselves) due to the potential for poo leaks. I have looked at some of the reusable diapers, but am not sure which diaper to choose. Some have good reviews, but say they run small - some don't have any reviews at all.

My major concern is since he is still EBF, his stool is very loose and there's quite a lot of it - usually causing blowouts in his disposable diapers as of late. He is about 20lbs. and doesn't have particularly chubby legs. Do you have any suggestions on what would be a good fit and a sure bet at containing his poo?

So What Happened?™

Thanks for the tips. I'm still doing a bit of research on whether to put the sposie under a swim diaper, to use the swim diaper by itself or to go with the all-in-one idea. The cloth suggestions were helpful...I'll probably get a couple just to try them out as everyday diapers. That website is awesome - thanks for the link.

I would get a couple of Haute Pocket cloth dipes. Just use the cover portion without an insert. It will work BETTER than a swim diaper and will certainly hold more. Swim dipes are gross...I wish that they would just disappear!!! Haute Pockets have a nice trim fit...and are nice a snug around the leg. check out www.nickisdiapers.com She has a great selection.

Other options would be Bum Genius...though it might be a bit big. You could also try a Swaddlebees ABC wrap. It is what we use in the pool and it works great. http://nickisdiapers.com/catalog.php?category=266

When my little one was recently in swim class they required plastic pants AND the disposable swim diaper. I found them at babies r us.

I have used the Kushies swim diapers. I really like them because they have leg gussets to hold in all the poop. I have used this brand of swim diaper with both of my breastfed babies. =) The cloth diaper suggestion is also good. You don't need to necessarily buy a pocket diaper, you could just get a diaper cover like bummis superbrite, that will definitely hold in that messy bf poop. =) You can find the bummis at the Nickis diapers link from the other poster, and you can find kushies at diapers.com.
