Anyone else with a little man that pees outside of his diaper constantly? Idk what I’m doing wrong! I fluff the ruff and point his penis downwards. He’s 8lbs (6 weeks old) and we tried to size up from newborns hoping it would help, but he’s peed through three size 1s now in the last day. Idk what I’m doing wrong! Help!

we are in a size 2 diaper bc she kept blowing out they were way too big for a week still are a little too big but the ones are too tight , this is the part that sucks lol

That was happening to us as well,
Honestly try pointing his pee pee down lol.. when it’s up or to the side it could come out instead of soaking the diaper

Hi Lauren. My daughter is almost 8 weeks old. She was 5 lb 9 oz when born so super teeny and was in newborn she’s ALMOST in size 1 now. I’m having the same issue. The straps almost are too tight and she has red marks on her thighs but I made a size 1 as tight as possible and poop was on the sides so I’m in the same boat.. I know this doesn’t really help but want you to know you’re not alone ❤️

Is it leaking out from the same area every time, or different places / all over?
I had this issue with my first son where he’d pee and it would leak around his hip bones. It was because I wasn’t pulling the two parts of the diaper together properly. It’s a little bit hard to explain but I wasn’t pulling the tabs on the front part of the diaper back enough before attaching the back tabs to the front. That meant that there was a part of his hip that only had the non-absorbent, attachment tab covering it. Pee could slip out through there. Once I started pulling the absorbent front tab around the hip towards the back and putting the non-absorbent back one over that to attach it, the pee stopped leaking out. Idk if that description made sense but feel free to message me and I can try to send a photo or something to help explain

Son has done same i assumed was diapers so ive changed multiple times and still with the same issue. Hes now peeing through diaper and gets on people like last night i just changed few minutes prior and was holding but started feeling wet on stomach and stuff well he peed again and on me 😂 i have done all you have said too so i get it

Hi! When I change my almost two month olds diaper half asleep, I may not be tightening it enough, it’s too loose, it could be that for you. I went from new born to size 1 because he kept peeing his diaper every change.
I would look into the size and maybe the brand too. I hope he stops peeing his diaper!! I hope he stops peeing on himself , good luck!!

Try to put the inner rim of diaper in the crease of his leg and private part. When I change the diaper I make sure to actively do that before tightening the straps. Make sure you put your fingers between baby and the diaper when tightening three straps and make it so 2 fingers fit between the diaper and baby. You could watch some YouTube videos for cloth diapering, even if you use normal diapers, as they explain the leak issue and what to do about it really well and you can apply it to normal diapers as well.

This happened to me a lot. One issue was that his peepee was pointed upwards. I found that applying the tabs in a “V” shape while he was growing into the size provided a better fit too

Could it be the brand of diaper you’re using? We had this issue with Luvs and I’ll never use them again lol
We found Millie Moon, Pampers, and Target brand of diaper to be the best for keeping our son’s pee in the diaper! 😂 Good luck!
