BGs are leaking. Help?

I love these diapers and don't want to quit CDing but this is becoming a PITA. We've had to put H in disposables overnight and for long naps because since she started sleeping on her stomach she leaks out the legs of her BGs.

Today I put her in one, we played around the house, she spent some time in the jumperoo, and when I pulled her out of it, she was wet around the leg elastic. This was between 60-90 minutes after being put in it. The insert was wet, but not sopping wet - like, it could have held more pee but perhaps the weight was causing a compression leak?

I've been making sure the insert is flat in the pocket so there aren't any gaps at the leg elastic that aren't covered, but it obviously could be a different story once I get it on her and it's kinda bunchy in the crotch. I don't know exactly how to fix this but these are the options I can think of:

-adjusting the rise (she's on the smallest setting right now at just shy of 7 months and 14.5 pounds). I'm concerned that might actually lead to MORE leaks because the leg holes would be bigger and I know it fits snug enough now.

-adding the newborn insert

Any advice for me? I'm 99% sure they don't need to be stripped because we haven't been using them that often and they aren't repelling.

DS started leaking out of all his pockets at night for a week so we put them all back down on the smallest setting and that took care of it. I think his thighs thinned out a smidge and that is where it was leaking. Also, I got some wool for night because we bedshare/sidecar and sleeping in pee just doesn't work for me. I got a Disana wool cover and will probably try it out tomorrow night.

Have you read night time info on Abby's Lane blog or called them for ideas? https://thecloththatcounts.wordpress.com/category/night-time-diapering/

i haven't yet, but i'll probably email stephanie tomorrow.

my problem is it's not just nighttime - it's naps and also apparently now daytime stints like what happened today. i'm going to try putting her on a larger rise tomorrow and put her back in the jumperoo and see how we do.  she's already on the smallest size so we don't have anywhere to go but up.

I hope you figure something out!

Have you tried stripping the inserts? If they're wet but not sopping wet, repelling would be my first guess. And I would try upping the rise. I'm pretty sure C was on the second set of snaps by then (although he is rather tall).
