Cloth Diapering

Leaking?!?

ive been using my blueberry AIObpockets for two months now with my almost 3 mo. Every diaper I've put on him today have leaked around the legs. Is this a sign that I need to strip or have them too loose?

Re: Leaking?!?

  • Are they the AIOs or pockets? Is the diaper completely soaked?
  • Loading the player...
  • Also, are they the Blueberry NB diapers or OS diapers?
  • Sorry. I'm an idiot. They are OS pockets. Not AIO pockets. No one has used cream on them and they feel just as wet as before. Nothing has changed except they leak now.

  • I do a cold rise, heavy duty hot wash and an extra rinse. They smell just ever so slightly like sweet baby poo. I have to really work to smell it though.

  • Our Blueberry diapers tend to develop gaps around the legs after the insert (a flat) gets wet.  I think because it's heavier when wet and it makes the elastic stretch a bit.
    I haven't noticed this issue with any other brands of diapers, just the Blueberry ones.
    Maybe i's got something to do with the way the sew their leg elastics, I dunno.
    When they work right, I love the blueberry diapers, but at least for my kid, they don't work right most of the time.

    It sounds like you also have the potential for a problem with your washing routine, but that might not be what's causing the leaks in this case.
  • @kelly11235 Good to know. What do you mean in regards to my wash routine?

  • I mean, everyone else was commenting on your wash routine.
    I was just saying that might not be the whole problem?
