Those babies that sleep on their side... DIAPER LEAKING problem

do you guys have a problem at night with them leaking through the diapers?

I even put a regular one on and then an overnight over it and sometimes he still leaks through. But it's not that he pees too much because he doesn't. We put the diapers tight too.

Is it because he's a side sleeper and somehow the pee can get out when the diaper bunches? Chat Icon

I'm ready to try tape next. Chat Icon

Re: Those babies that sleep on their side...

The same thing happens to my baby who is a side sleeper. Unfortunately, diapers tend to leak more when babies sleep on their side. It also happens when the diapers are starting to get snug. You may want to try the next size up and see if it helps. It helped with us when baby started to poop out of them too. Chat Icon

Re: Those babies that sleep on their side...

Baby poop, running out of the diaper --so not cute. I hope it never happens to you. My baby is funny though, he usually fusses and cries when I change his peepee diapers. If it were up to him he would stay in wet diapers all day but he's all smiles, giggles and coos when I change his poopie diapers Chat Icon

Re: Those babies that sleep on their side... DIAPER LEAKS

UPDATE for those with the same problem! Chat Icon

When doing my sons diapers at night, like normal... we would pull the tabs parallel to the top of the diaper (straight across). Instead we started pulling the tabs downward like in a V. This makes the diaper tighter around the legs.

Once we started doing this... NO MORE LEAKS! Chat Icon

Just thought i'd pass that along... Chat Icon
