Seriously Huggies?!

katdesear

I have now had to change DSs clothes twice today because his pee keeps coming out over the top of his diaper. . . What the hell?!

Awesome!
You may already do this, but make sure his little boy bits are pointed down. Definitely makes a difference!

I was going to suggest the same thing. Do you maybe need to go to the next size?

That kept happening to LO with poop coming out and up the back if the diaper. It was really ruining her onesies. I was like WTF?! The diapers were to small for her. I was sad to move out of the newborns but we are much better now. Oh for any stains I just dry them in the sun. The stains come out like nothing was ever there.

He was 7.5 at the pediatrician this morning wearing newborn sizes, I just checked and size 1 starts at 8 lbs. have you ladies had any problems moving up a size before reaching 8 lbs?

My little girls was under 8 and we didnt have any issues with the size 1. A friend had issues with Huggies with her little boy though....she swore pampers didn't have the leak problems.

Haven't tried Huggies, but I can say we haven't had any trouble with Pampers Swaddlers or Seventh Generation.

I had a few pampers left in the diaper bag, no issues with those. Guess it's time to get the size 1s out of the closet

Same here. After we started pointing the buts downwards all of our Houdini incidents (peeing out of the diaper) were gone!

I had the same issue with Pampers newborn size.  They were not too small for him.  But when I pointed his private parts down it really helped things.

The issue is huggies never had dry clothes when I used them!!!

I have to agree with this. Then again I think it's bc my LO is narrow and skinny and I've always heard Huggies are better for chunky babies.

I hate huggies for that reason.. I have been sticking with pampers without any issues!

katdesear

It's the little smugglers that I have ATM. I got two packages at my shower, so I guess we will be returning them for pampers, which I've been using since he was born without issue.

I'm out of the norm. Huggies have worked so good for us. Pampers (which work for the whole population, lol) did not work for us. Hopefully they do better for you. GL!

I used Huggies NB until the umbilical cord fell off because of the awesome little notch in the front. Once it fell off, I moved up to Pampers Swaddlers size 1. Interestingly, the hospital used the Pampers size 1 for all newborns except premees. Bigger is usually better when it comes to containing all sorts of messes. And yes, make sure he's pointing down when you close his diaper.

I'm out of the norm too I guess. Have only used huggies for DD and only ever used them for DD1 as well and never had any issues, pee or poop. Maybe they work better for girls..

I hate Huggies! They did not work at all for our son. They leaked from the legs too. Pampers have never leaked for us. We haven't even had a blow out on bad bowel movements.

Tnweaver

Huggies leak for us too! We only use Pampers now. They seem bigger and fit our LO better.

Huggies is a terrible brand diaper but awesome wipes!! Pampers is awesome but their wipes suck!! Lol

Point the penis down, try the next size up, try a different brand.

renee6465

Try folding the top down a little before you fasten it. In kind dk creates a barrier so the pee can't escape from the top!

Huggies were awful when DS was a baby, but their overnites are awesome.  I've been wondering if I should try a cheaper brand, but we really love pampers.

jgengo0

I use pampers in the early phases then Huggies little movers when they are older.

TexasGirl81

I've heard several times that the target up and up brand is awesome. I will be trying them soon.

OliveMom3

Pampers lovers over here! Our son leaked through the legs all the time with Huggies. We tried cding but got a horrible rash so had to go back to sposies for a bit. We have to go to the next town over to get pampers but it's so worth it.

mkb5g5

Also team pampers! With NB size DS peed out the top and leaked from the bottom. We switched to NB and size 1 pampers and have had no problems.

leahaustin

We have a girl but we have the same problem with Huggies except it is poop coming out the sides. We use Pampers now and don't seem to have that problem.

erink7211

We also live Pampers here. Huggies and Luvs leaked like crazy with DS. Also, you may already be doing this but make sure the little ruffles around the legs are out. It makes a world of difference with leaks.

I've heard the same thing . I just got home from target and used a gift card to buy pampers and one small pack of the up and up brand. Hopefully they work for LO bc they are cheaper than Pampers.

Did you just call my baby fat??!!
Lol! J/k! Her thighs are little chunkers!

We have used the up and up brand for DD1 for a while now, and they are seriously awesome. We started off with Pampers for her, but changed at size 2. Never had a problem with leaks and they are so much cheaper! Like half the price of Pampers sometimes.

We had one NB pack for DD2, just to try since we switched later for DD1, and I think they were great. Even had the wetness indicator like the other brands, and again half the price.

For sure sticking with them for both girls now. I really recommend them!!!

Wow! Very awesome, thank you. I'm excited and.....drum roll please, I have a Target Red Card. Winning!!!

I too have the red card and while I appreciate the 5% off, sales tax just went up to 6% here so I don't feel as excited for the "discount" anymore.

This may be a premature review since she's only been through three of them, but so far they are great. I changed her diaper upstairs and left the pack of up & up downstairs so I used a Huggies ... and it leaked like crazy. all over LO sleeper and bedding.

Where I am the Pampers are 29 cents each and Up&Up are 19 cents. I'm hoping they work out in the long run bc that's a savings I can look forward too
