already having issues

Felix has peed through every type of diaper we have put on him. Disposable, AIO, AI2, prefold/cover, fitted, WAHM. I can't tell if I am doing something wrong or if he is just a crazy heavy wetter.

Could my diapers have not been prepped correctly and won't absorb? Could I not be using enough detergent?

If nothing works, my first thought would be if your getting a good snug fit. After the diaper is on pull his legs together and lift them up, then check for gaps. You want them pretty sung.

Are the diapers totally soaked, or are they kinda dry still?

TugboatSheila

Diapers are soaked. Not pointing down but could try and I do try and make sure that the fit is as snug as I can get

I had the same problem with P for the first couple of weeks. Prefolds with a good cover were all I could get to work. How often are you changing? I had to change her every hour and a half at most.

Some babies are just crazy heavy wetters. Do all of the above and try a doubler.

TugboatSheila

@TJ1979‌ I change about every 2-3 hours. Basically every time he wakes up to eat he gets changed. He hates diaper changes so much that I am afraid to wake him up to change him

I do seem to have better luck with prefolds and covers right now.

@Rrrrrachel‌ what kind of doubler would you suggest. What about charlie banana inserts? U

Rrrrrachel

Sure why not! A full on inset is just going to be a little bulkier than adding a doubler, but if it's what you have on hand go for it. I like hemp and bamboo doublers.
