BG xs leaking in the legs

moussy

I use my BG's at night as LO seems to sleep longer but the last 2 nights I have had leaks out of her legs.  I think I'm getting them tight enough at the waist.  The front of the diaper is not completely soaked but the back is pretty heavy.  LO is long and I guess has small thighs (not sure.  She's my first).  Could it actually be an absorbency issue already?  Or more likely just user error?

Can I add a doubler?  I only have small hemp ones.  where the heck would I put it? 

Sorry for the 20 questions.  Any help is appreciated.

You can try adding a doubler and see if that works.  A lot of CD mamas notice that leaks are happening as LO grows out of a size. It could be possible already with an XS.  My LO grew out of her Lil Joeys (basically an XS) at around the 8 week mark.

When my BG XS's started leaking we moved him up to the smalls and had no issues- the XS's were just not big enough to hold it all.

He is 6 months now and already in the larges...lol

She's only about 7.5 lbs. and I have tried on the smalls but they are huge!  They go at least halfway up her back.

I'll try a doubler first.  I hope hse grows into her smalls.  I will be so disappointed if BG's don't work!
