Once your baby has passed the six-month stage, you might have to look for a different type of nappy.
This is because as they start crawling and becoming more mobile, you may notice that their current nappies are no longer performing as they once did.
They might not be lasting as long and you may be getting more leaks – eek!
This is because as as they move about, nappies can sag and pull, as they don't fit as snugly.
So, say hello to the best super stretchy and flexible nappy – made especially for little movers!
