6. DIAPER/NAPPY FITMENT
Important: Correct diaper fitment is essential for
the operation of Pico. 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 Pico 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. If baby
sleeps on his or her side, Pico should be placed
off-center of the navel and the mattress.
