Does peeing through the diaper mean DD needs a larger diaper?

G is still in her preemie diapers.  Last Monday, she was 5 lbs 8 oz and the preemie diaper goes up to 6 lbs.  I assume by today she is nearly 6 lbs, or just under since she's been gaining between 3/4 oz and 1 oz per day.  Today, she was laying on her side without her Pavlik Harness on (for hip dysplasia) and she peed through her diaper twice.  She's never done this before, and this is the first time she was out of the harness for a significant period of time (I was washing it). 

I am wondering, does this mean it's time to graduate to the newborn size?  She's almost at the weight limit for the preemie diaper, and the newborn seems to fit her ok.  

 We are using pampers swaddlers, if that makes a differnce at all.

 Thanks!!

    I didn't have a preemie, but we moved out the newborn to size one when DS started leaking a lot, so it sounds like it wouldn't be a bad thing for you to do. Congrats on your LO gaining wait!

    We switched diaper sizes usually at the start of the next size up -- or within a pound or two of that. I try to avoid the blowouts and leaks.

    Sounds like it is time to move up to me!  We leaked this morning, but it was because SOMEONE (eh, eh DH) didn't put it on right.

    I have no idea, but I heard Huggies are better for girls?

    We just moved from newborns to size 1 with our LO because she had a few leaks which hadn't happened before. So far no leaks withe the size 1s.

    It definitely sounds like your LO is ready for the next size Swaddlers. My name is Trish and I work for Pampers. Babies can outgrow the absorbency of the diaper before they outgrow the fit. A nice feature about Swaddlers is the overlapping fasteners. My first DD was a preemie and she was such a heavy wetter that I moved her up to Newborn right away. But with the fasteners on the Swaddlers, I was able to get a nice, snug fit for her. I hope this helps. TX. Trish.
