CDs leaking up the back?

Hi all.

I'm assuming that the problem I have is with fit, but wanted to check in here since you guys always have such good insight. 

My LO is only 10 days old.  We've been mostly using fitteds with covers...GMD workhorses, Thirsties fab fitted, and KLOs.  Those are working great.  I tried a few AIOs on him as well.  I have some XS BGs, some Rumparooz, and 2 Applecheeks size 1s.  It seems like whenever I put him in an AIO at night, he leaks up the back, and it doesn't seem to matter which brand I use.  The BG XS seem to fit him really well, but we still had a leak.  He's only sleeping for 2-3 hours at a stretch, so it's not like he's in it for hours and hours.  I'm thinking maybe I just need a doubler in the BG?  And perhaps it's just too early for the RaRs and Applecheeks?  The seem to fit him pretty snuggly, but maybe they're still just a tad too big.  Any thoughts?  Should I just wait a few more weeks to use those? 

Thanks!

  • I had this problem too and realized I just wasn't putting them on tight enough.  DS is also pretty tiny, and we waited until his cord fell off to restart CDs (I felt like the covers were irritating his cord) so I think a little extra weight helped too.  Good luck.  I know it is frustrating to struggle with them when you already have so much going on, but after just a few days of practice we are doing much better!

  • Ditto making sure they're tight enough. Are the inserts totally soaked? If so, I'd add a doubler. At 10 days old I'm guessing that's probably not the issue though. It's probably just not quite tight enough around the waist. It's easier imo to get fitteds and covers nice and tight than it is pockets or AIOs.
  • Generally, that means you aren't getting it tight enough OR it is time to change sizes.

    At 10 days old, I am guessing that he is not yet big enough for them. I'd try them again in another week. 

  • Thanks everyone.  I appreciate all the input.  I think I'll take your suggestion and give it another week or so and let him fill out a bit in the middle before trying them again.
