Snuza alarm help, please

First off, I apologize if this has been asked already but I haven't gotten much sleep all night and am fighting a horrible cold and didn't have time to go through previous posts.

Snuza monitor help, please! 

We are using the Snuza Halo (Hero in US?) in conjunction with a digital audio monitor but have been having major problems with false alarms.  We clip the Snuza on and it is in a good position but then throughout the night, Madison will end up kicking and squirming and the bulky part of the diaper will push the Snuza up and it loses contact and the alarm goes off.  This is happening multiple times a night and I need my sleep!  We are actually double diapering (and using correct size - she is 11 pounds, using size 1) so there is plenty of material for the clip to hold on to so I don't understand why this is happening. 

Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem?  I'm wondering if buying some kind of cloth diaper cover to use as our second diaper might help if it will ride up higher on her belly so that the bulky part doesn't dislodge the Snuza.  Anyone think this might help?  What exactly would I be looking for?

The problem might be the amount of diaper that it's clipped onto is too much so it's easy for it to lose contact with her skin. Maybe clip it onto one diaper and then put the other diaper on after that?

We've only had one false alarm and it was because it got moved too far to the side when LO was wiggling around. Also, are you placing it really close to her belly button or more off to the side? We found that putting it right next to DS' belly button made it less likely to give us false alarms too.

The only time I've had an issue with it was because I didn't get the clip on far enough so my little wiggler would squirm enough that it would lose contact and alarm.  I found that rolling the diaper down a little farther and making sure that the clip was all the way on so that the diaper was at the top of the inside of the clip part worked for me.  If you're still having an issue, I know they have a facebook page where you can post your question directly to other Snuza users to get more feedback, and they're customer service department will respond to you directly as well to help you out.  Check them out at www.facebook.com/SnuzaUSA.  It has been a helpful resource for me.
