Leaky Diapers - Cary,IL

MotherEase Cloth diapers! You will find that cloth diapers hold a lot more without leaking and don't have the blowouts that every 'sposie has.

Honestly, I think Luvs are best...but you have to make sure you have the right size. Even if they seem to fit, look at the next size up...they get more absorbent as you increase size, and the weight limits often overlap. I mean, when my babe was 10 weeks I think I had her in a size 3 already, and she's not huge or anything. They fit fine, and quit leaking...all I had to do was go up one size!

Pampers Swaddlers are the best! We had a box of Huggies and those leaked frequently, so we switched over and had very few issues with the Pampers. Pampers also makes a "night time" diaper which is super absorbant when your son starts sleeping through the night.

10 weeks? Cute! Try using a folded cotton diaper in the front as a liner inside the -I'm assuming you're using disposables?-that might help

What kind of diapers are you currently using? We had leaks at almost every change with Huggies.

Pampers Swaddlers worked best for us.

Good luck!

I love the Especially for Baby brand of diapers available at Baby's R Us for night use, I have used them with both my girls and kept them dry. If you have a Costco card, I also like the Kirkland's brand diapers for daytime or nightime they work well too.

What kind are you using?

I bought Huggies at first, then got tired of leaks at night. So tried Pampers. Liked them until recenly when they changed them. Been using LUVS for a while now and rarely have an issue.

Maybe he needs the next size up already? The sizes aren't only for waist/leg area, but there is more of that absorbent chemical in them the higher up the size goes. Or perhaps he needs a size smaller if the pee is leaking out of his leg hole?

My son had a VERY large bladder. We found *for his body type* that huggies worked the best (every brand has a slightly different shape, so some work better for some body types while others work for other types). Even so, I'd occasionally either must have not tucked his peni down (peed up and soaked his shirt) or had it pointing toward the leg hole. Whoops. Excepting 'operator error' huggies held the most/ kept him the driest. ((Some people would "scold" me for "letting him sit in a wet diaper". I never did. He just had a huge bladder and partial control from birth. We'd leave the house in a dry diaper, arrive 5 minutes later with a soaking wet diaper that needed to be changed on the back seat. He'd be crawling around perfectly dry, and then have a 5lb diaper 30 seconds later.

One thing I did at night (desperation trick)... no matter how dry he was... I'd change his diaper as the last thing I did before going to sleep. If he was *bone dry* I'd place 2 fingers on his bladder for a few seconds gently, or wake him up enough to pee (like I said, partial control from birth on) and THEN change him.

The WORST diapers period for absorbency were 'natural' diapers. Huggies about 1 in 10 leaked... EVERY natural one leaked. Pampers were okay until he started crawling. Then... they just didn't fit his body type.

Diapers are super expensive... but if you can do a "diaper swap" with some other moms to try them out, I'd recommend it. My 2 closest friends when my son was born already had grown children. They made a "package" for me with 10 of every diaper brand on the market in 2 different sizes. (Awesome women... I now do the same for girlfriends having babies). Because nothing beats trying them on your own child's bum!

J. grab a pack of up and up (target brand), they are flipping awesome! I didn't start using them until my littlest was in a size 2 or 3, but I just didn't know about them before that. So I'm not sure if they'll fit a 10 wk old well, but they have been great for us. They aren't leak proof against the wettest nights, but better than pampers from our experience. Good luck!!

I have had good luck with Pampers. We used Swaddelers when she was smaller and Baby Dry since. I did not like the Cruisers, personally. Make sure he's not in too small a diaper. Weight is part of it, but so is your baby's size and shape. My toddler is still only in 3s but her cousin (who is younger) is in 5s. Kids are different. I also learned that I was putting on the diapers very loose when she was little. The daycare (and my mom) made them tighter, which helped.

We preferred Huggies and the Costco Kirkland brand. But have you tried the next size up? Whenever our son starting leaking routinely that seemed to be what was needed.

The only ones that work for my daughter are the Costco brand. My cousin even did a test with his boys, and they are the best and most cost efficient.
She wakes up with full!!!!!! diapers and no leakage.

Pampers and Huggies did not work for my daughter. She leaked with both of them. Luvs worked best for her. Every child is different.

Costco brand (Kirkland) worked best for us.
