li'l joeys...is it possible?

So, our little man was born 12 days ago, and we have LOVED the li'l joey's AIO dipes.  They fit perfectly from day one.  My question is: could he have outgrown the absorbency already????? They still fit like a charm, and would for a few more weeks easily, but we get pee leaks every.single.time.

The rest of our dipes are not having leak issues (I, at first, thought that we may have done something wrong in the washing stage).

Thanks in advance!

    I've heard this too. Can you put a natural fiber insert folded in half in it instead? Doesn't have to go in the pocket if it's bamboo or hemp, you can lay it on top next to the skin.

    Kawaii also has a newborn bamboo insert that's even smaller. The Alva is 12x4.5; the Kawaii is 10x4.

    Yes, lil joeys are the cutest and best fitting for newborn but the absorbency is awful.  My lo outgrew the absorbency at about 1 week.  I couldn't fit an insert in them because they are so small, maybe you'll have better luck. Smile

    I had the same issue with the lil joeys. They fit DS, but he peed right out of them. They are my least favorite NB diaper because of this. Even though they fit and are adorable, I hated them! It has to be the absorbency.

    This happened with our little one as well, it was so frustrating! We had small hemp wipes that I would line the diaper with and that really helped. HTH

    How often are you changing LO? It may be that LO needs to be changed sooner in a Lil Joey.

    I think I am the only one who didn't have problems with lil joeys.  They fit for quite a long time, maybe 4ish weeks.  And they never leaked.  I just didn't like them much because they took so long to dry.

    Mine were fine til 4 weeks for absorbency, and we used them daytime only for a couple weeks past that. Kissas hemp wipes make good nb doublers. I just used fitteds at night and AIOs in the day once absorbency became an issue.
