Diapers leaking ...of the # 2 variety. - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

For the last week or so, my 8 mth old daughters diapers have been soaking thru and into her clothes. Is this normal? We are using Pampers Cruisers. Is there another brand that I should consider?

Pampers is a pretty good brand so I would run your finger along the elastics to make sure they arnt folded in. Also a trick I found is to spread her lags fairly far apart when positioning the diaper. Somehow it make it fit snugger along the legs.

Yep. Also, when that happens to us it's usually because we are ready for the next size up but haven't realized it yet.

Since my ds has been very young, and had MONSTER blowout poops, it has only ever happened if he's ready to go up to the next size. We use a combination of Pampers Cruisers, and Pampers Baby Dry (I like the cruisers for poops especially, but the baby dry are just as good for pee's I think!), and just last week his #2 came up the back of his size 3 cruiser. We're trying to finish up the box, so I know he's ready for size 4's.
If you don't think size is the problem, I agree with the pp's--maybe try re-adjusting the elastic around the legs after a diaper change?

DS had the same issue with huggies both #1 & 2. And I bought a couple huge packages before he was born. Fortunately, a coworker had a similar issue with Pampers swaddlers and cruisers and her daughter, so we swapped diapers and coupons. For us it only happened with the huggies -- I could use any other brand with elastic -- store brand, pampers... Just not the huggies.
