Need advice for baby peeing through diaper

How many inserts are you using?

Also alvababy comes with one microfiber and they are not very absorbent plus cloth 3 hours is normally a max anyway especially with 1 insert and sometimes closer to 2 hours if they are a big pee-er

Is your baby still in newborn diapers?
This could also be the time to swap to bigger ones the resizable ones

Mine got big fast and I think we switched fairly soon after newborn stage and started using two inserts especially for overnight


Also check the fit for any leg gaps/any of the insert peeking out they could just have a gap and leaked through or wicked to the other materials

I also use Alvababy brand cloth diaper pockets. I use two inserts during the day and that gets me three ish hours.
But for night you should try an insert with cotton hemp mix. More layers like Texas tushies and essmably has a 6 layer inserts good for night.

Agree about the bamboo or hemp as well they are a bit more pricey but hold a ton more

Even the cotton inserts can hold a ton or you can bulk with a flour sack towel for a really cheap cotton option (we still sometimes bulk ours with prefolds and they can be used as burp cloths/cleaning cloths too!)

And we still actually use our alva micros but in tangent with one that absorbs more (cotton or bamboo)

thanks! I was using only 1 insert inside the pocket of the diaper and a disposable liner on top (for poop).

Yes, he’s still using newborn, he’s only 7 pounds; he’s lean and long.

There was definitely gaps around his legs, we were afraid of doing it too tight. We’re going to try double liners and tighten it more.

are the liners you’re talking about ?

no, we’re only using the inserts that came with the packs of diapers. He sleeps 1.5-2 hours overnight and 2-3 during the day. We’re changing him every 2.

Could you add the link to the hemp inserts that you recommend?

yes

Agree with everyone else about microfiber, you will find it holds stink and stains the worst too. We've been dealing with a newborn out-wetting his constantly too, unlike our first two. Sizing up helped, but for a bit we were at an awkward stage where our Thirsties Duo Size Ones were still a bit too big to be snug around the waist, but the x-small was too small for the next size of prefold.

Probably going to try wool again for night at least. We used Disana covers with our second, but only at night when he was bigger.
