Sutpid mummy over here, have just worked out why ds's cloth nappies were leaking......

[staceym11]

.........he needed the next size up! sounds simple yet it took me nearly a week to work out!

think i had a problem coz he's still within the weight range of the size 1 prefolds but they were leaking. the size 1 shaped are fine as long as they are covered by a size 2 wrap! and i thought this cloth nappy stuff would be easy?!

It is easy-ish... but as someone once said - nothing's worth doing if you don't have to think about it a bit.

And if noone ever said it, I just did, so someone did, now.

PS and for everything else there's mumsnet

People have the same problem with disposables. From reading a couple of years' worth of threads it seems as though more often than not the solution to leaking nappies, whether cloth or disposable, is to go up a size (and I had the same issue with DS -- well within the weight limits for Size 1 Tots Bots, but he needed to go up to Size 2 for the leaks to stop). With #2 I shall remember... at least, that's the theory.

thanks for making me feel like im not alone!!!

dd was exactly the same with her prefolds, was always miles below the weight range suggested

I had it with DD too
