Boy diapers

PokeBridePokeBride
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I am using swaddlers and no matter what i do (have the diaper on tight, lose, point his little penis down, etc) I continue to have leaks.  The pee is coming out the top of the back of the diaper.

 Is it possible I am putting it on wrong or is there another brand you guys would recommend we try out?

TIA

    do you have a size too big?  Also, are you making sure his wang is pointing down when you put the diaper on?

    I am one of the lucky ones that so far (knock on wood) has not had any issues with a specific brand.  So I don't have any ideas on which would work best.  But just a thought, maybe it is time to move up to the next size?  I know that DS pees out of his diapers when they are getting too small.  The pampers swaddlers were my favorites though.

    this happened to me as well, no one told me baby boy parts were supposed to point down - ever since i learned that valuable trick, we are leak free

    He is small (currently about 6.5 pounds) and he is in newborn diapers.  Based on the weight he should be fine in them.

    Yes, I point it down.  Sometimes DH forgets but I know when I have changed him and made a point to point it down I still get leaks.  I have already had three leaks since midnight and I know all three of those I pointed it down.

    How old is he? My DS went through a phase for about a week or two when he was brand new where he leaked out of swaddlers and then he stopped.

    Well I am totally wrong then!  He def. does not need to move up a size.

    My LO was 6lb 6oz when he was born, and we ended up putting him in the preemie size pampers for the first few weeks b/c of his body shape.  maybe get a small pack of those and see how it goes?

    This happened to us too. I think the diaper was too big.. we ended up using a smaller size in from some generic diapers. Now that he's bigger, the swaddlers don't leak anymore.
