The other morning I found I had run out of nappies for my 10 month old. I planned to take him straight to the shop to get more, but he decided to do a huge stinky. I couldnt take him out like that, so I tried making a substitute. Firstly I used a muslin cloth like a terry towelling nappy - and then cut 2 leg holes in a carrier bag, but it wouldnt stay on! Then I got one of my daughters dolls nappies, and put that on him with a pair of my daughters knickers to hold it in place! Oh what fun us mothers have! I dont plan on running out again, but just in case - any better ideas?!

Can I just say that the bloke slagging me off is a dic k, and I'm not a crap mother! These things happen to the best of us, and i'm sure social services wouldnt be turning up on my doorstep due to me running out of nappies! You dic k. I feel sorry for your kids.

dont listen to that bloke up there, you sound like a great mother, at least you didnt leave a stinky nappy on your child. a couple of times i had to use my eldest childs nappies which were double the size of my babies and hope she only weed while i was down the shop. it happens to everyone.

How about trying out what my sister-in-law once did. She used a regular bath towel, folded it like a cloth diaper, pinned it on her daughter with ordinary diaper pins, and used a plastic kitchen catcher garbage bag with the bottom corners cut out as rubber pants. The combination actually worked.

i never encountered this problem but, if i did i would use a towel with safety pins or some undies and a plastic bag of some sort rush to the store grab the diapers open the pack and immediatly diaper my child . then pay for the diapers and aplogize to the store manager for opening the diapers before i paid for them

I always take one nappy out of the pack when I buy them and keep it somewhere else other than the changing station. That way I always have one extra when I run out.

well in such a case wrap anything like a hand towel and keep a nappy changing mat or any other towel to soak in the car seat or buggy, n rush to the shop.
But always keep nappies here n there, like one in your baby bag, one in another drawer for such runout days....i do this and in last minute i always have atleast one nappy left....cheeers
