5. DIAPER/NAPPY FITMENT
Important: Correct diaper fitment is
essential for the operation of Hero. The
thin flap of material at the top of the
diaper must be folded over the thicker
part before the diaper is closed (this is
the section to which Hero will be attached). The diaper should fit snugly on the baby
with the top of the diaper just below the belly button. Loose fitting diapers will gape,
causing the monitor to lose contact with the baby and false alarm. A very 'full' or wet
diaper may also cause it to gape.
