Does anyone else also buy LOs diapers a size bigger? DH and I do to protect DSs private. Sometimes when he sleeps it gets too full and may squeeze his junk and cause discomfort. So, to avoid that we buy a bigger size. Im curious to know if anyone else does the same.
Re: Diapers a size bigger?
Pee will not "squeeze" his junk. Plus, DS isn't in a dirty diaper long enough to cause discomfort.
When we do disposables (vacations or over the holidays) we use the right size, to avoid chaffing caused by bulk between thighs.
This. The only time we even remotely sized up was when we went on vacation, and we bought a pack for that. He was so close to the upper weight limit for the smaller size I just got the bigger one. We still have that pack 6 months later. Plus, I didn't want the smaller size to be too small.
I kinda still find it hard to believe that the diaper would "squeeze his junk", especially to the point of discomfort. Heck, DS "squeezes his junk" during diaper changes, and doesn't seem bothered by it. DH just told me he would stop if it hurt.
3-4 times a night for a LO this age to still be eating sound like A LOT! They should be capable or STTN or 1 feeding at night by now.
DS pees a lot too, and we eventually found a combination of inserts and dipes that work ON. Even when we used disposables we never had the "squeezing" problem. I've used a size up tonight (we're at my parents and I snagged a 4 instead of a 3) and LEAK!!! How do you guys go about lasting all night with a size up dipe is a mystery to me. He didn't last 30min before wetting his pants.

And it all depends on the type of diapers ypu are using. He is a small.fry and his size diapers fill up quick thats why we went a size up

Ditto. We've been doubling diapers for months now. It's the only way to keep leaks out.

Since DS is around 18 lbs I still put a #2 diaper on first and then a #3. We mostly use Pampers Swaddlers, but now that I am just about out of #2 diapers I have started putting a Huggies #3 then a Pampers #3 over that. The biggest trick for me is to make sure the side tabs are pulled all the way over. The double diapering lasts around 13 hours so it is perfect for overnight.

Wow that is a great idea. I never thought about it. I ran out of disposable so ive been.using cloth at night and it works betyer now that I double with microfiber (thanks to CD board)
