AIO help

lizenfrancais

I just started cd'ing my son earlier this week.  We're doing a rental program of gently used diapers so I got a nice variety of diapers to try.  Unfortunately, every time I use an AIO they leak either from the side or out the back.  I don't think it's the frequency that I've been changing him because last night I had pee leak from a freshly changed lil' joey.  I've also had poo come out the leg hole of a fresh grovia newborn.

Is this just an AIO problem or am I doing something wrong?  Thanks for the help.

I'm guessing a fit issue.  AIO's tend to be pretty bulky for NB's little legs but fit perfect as they grow and fill out.  Don't get frustrated give baby time to thicken up.

Lil joeys are notorious for not having great absorbancy, as for the grovia did you have them on tight enough? I think I've also heard that people might roll in the ruffles? For added protection? Since they are used I'd say they are prepped enough. Maybe make sure they aren't repelling...

I don't have a little baby yet, but those are some things I've read during my research.

Hopefully some of that helps!

I've read a lot of reviews on both of those diapers, and they are notorious for leaking.

Newborn AIOs just aren't very absorbent. DD was regularly peeing through hers by 3 weeks old.

thanks everyone.  I'll just make sure to change him more often when he's wearing the AIOs.  Also, I didn't think about trying to tuck in the extra ruffles on the grovia.  Hopefully it will all help

Lil joeys are the worst!  Mine ALWAYS leaked. Honestly, I had no luck with NB AIOs. I tried kissaluvs, grovia and lil joeys, and they all sucked.  I like fitteds the most for a NB stash. I also really liked kawaii pure and naturals. 

Ever since DS was able to fit into the OS, we have been using grovia OS AIOs and I love them!

Try AIOs again when your LO is bigger.
