My DD is just over 11 lbs and pees quite a lot. Lately the pee has been leaking out of her diaper, as if it defies the laws of gravity lol! I can't figure out how it can come out the top of her diaper while she's sitting up in her vibrating chair. Maybe the diaper can't absorb it enough? In the last 24 hours I changed her clothes 4 times due to leakage. She's wearing size 1, which goes up to 14 lbs. We've been using Pampers Swaddlers but I bought 2 other types to try. Huggies Little Snugglers gives me the same problem. I have yet to try Pampers Baby Dry, which seems to be for night but perhaps they would be good all day. I'm wondering also if I should already buy up a size. You could say that my darling LO is already quite chunky around her thighs and her rear, so the diapers are perhaps not as tight as they should be. They seem to cover her well enough but maybe the sides aren't closed enough. Anyhow I'm kind of frustrated having to clean her up and change her so often, and I just want a diaper that will keep her dry! Any advice?
Also, what's your favorite brand of diaper?
Re: Diaper frustrations
Different brands seem to work better for different babies, and not sizes are the same! Huggies size 1 seem smaller than Pampers 1 and Walmart size 1 are even bigger. My 2 yr old wears a 5 in huggies, but a 4 in Sam's brand! I would go up a size if I were you.

Trial and error definitely gets expensive! I still have about 150 diapers left in size 1 since I just bought a couple small packs of other brands over the weekend. I may continue to use them and just change her more frequently, then try a size up. Luckily she has plenty of clothes hah!
We had to go up a size waaayyyy before the weight limit with our LO. They seemed to swallow her, but we didn't have any more accidents.
