Bum Genius Leaking Tags

PurpleFrog15 · August 2013

I've only been cloth diapering for a month and my BGs are damp on the side tag when I'm changing my son. I change every 2-3 hours and they are not soaked through. He's only 2 months old. I've been using All small and mighty free and clear and have not dried them in the dryer. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't imagine I need to increase the rise, as they would hit way above his belly button, but I'm willing to try anything.

Give them 20 minutes on high in the dryer to seal the PUL. Just once.

I agree with token. It's been a while since mine was that little... is every 2-3 hours frequent enough for a baby that little? I swear when mine was tiny we were changing closing to every 1-2 hours. Maybe we just had a frequent wetter. Is that a thing?

Which insert are you using? The only time my pockets wick through stitching is if they're really wet, so you may need to add more absorbency

we changed crazily at that stage too (could it be two months ago already?!?) We were closer to the 1-2 hours also.

But, the BG's leaking near the tag area seems to be common...I second into the dryer on high for 20 minutes

You guys wouldn't wake up to change, would you? If he's napping, I'll change when he wakes up, but if he's awake, I change every two. I'm using the larger insert and just got some hemp doubles to use at night, just need to get them prepped.
