New to Diapering- Kissaluvs Fitteds, Soaked?

dsharrison

Alright, so we have Kissaluvs Fitteds in size 0 for our 6 week old.  When we change him, the entire thing is soaked.  I don't see this as a problem, but my husband does.  He of course is new to cloth diapering too.  We obviously use the cover, and we're not having leaking issues, which is great, but my husband seems upset by the fact that the entire diaper is soaked because he thinks that can't be comfortable.  My question is, is this normal?

We loved the KL0s for the newborn stage and ours were often soaked as well.  In fact, he outgrew them in absorbency rather than size-wise.

If they still fit fine, I would just change him more often.  We still change every hour or two, max, unless he's sleeping.

By 6 weeks, C was definitely getting a KL0 totally soaked. In that sense, it's normal. It also means you probably need something more absorbant or to change more frequently. Smaller babies can outgrow the absorbency of newborn diapers before outgrowing them size-wise. KLs aren't exactly known for being the most absorbent fitted either.

This, but if your DH is concerned with wetness against the baby you can use fleece liners, just get some sales fleece and cut strips.

We were in our KL0s until nearly 6 mos. When they started to get soaked by 1 pee, I added an insert and checked more often so I could change it right away.

Thanks everyone, this helps.  I've tried the fleece liners, will try to add an insert!

Yeah my LO was soaking hers by 6 weeks too. It never seemed to bother her and they never leaked. I started using a liner towards the end and it helped some.

They'd probably still be fine with a liner but I moved onto BGs that I know she won't soak.
