Bamboozles size 2 leaking on dd, aged 2

[aandb]

DD is nearly 2 and her bamboozles are leaking all the time. They never used to and it's driving me mad! She uses a motherease wrap size large. The babykind website says most babies shouldn't need to go to a size 3 bamboozles and I have to say I'd rather not splash out on a new set of nappies. However, I REALLY want to keep her in cloth nappies so any advice would be great. I haven't had her weighed for ages but I reckon she is around the 24lb mark, 25lb's max.

I had this problem with DD at the same age. I rang the suppliers. They thought the problem was that as she got older her wee flow was much stronger and there was much more wee to, there was less time for it to be absorbed and therefore it was running down her legs, which were/are quite skinny. Also she thought that the Bamboozle plus a Nature Babies wrap so two synthetic fabrics might reduce absorbency. She suggested I try potty training but DD was not ready (took another year, in fact). I was groggily, sickily pregnant with #2 so am afraid I abandoned my once-loved Bamboozles for dispos.

Sorry, that is no help to you I just wanted to let you know that I'd been thru this too. Hope you get some good advice. I will lurk to see

thanks for your reply and good to know it's not just my dd. DD and I are definitely not ready to potty train, that is a pretty poor response from them isn't it. I agree re: the wee flow! I check her before going out and she is dry and then an hour later, she is drenched! Hopefully someone will come along with an answer. Maybe I should buy a couple of size 3's to try.

I've always thought that terry fabric nappies seem to absorb quicker than bamboo. I had similar with my ds1 but found that in fuzzi bunzs which I stuffed with a terry square we didn't have any problems.

to be fair to the supplier she was suggesting potty training as a way to avoid having to buy more cloth nappies. had i persevered with cloth dd mihgt have pt sooner - who knows. you could always try one of the used nappy sites so you aren't spending too much./
hope this bumps for a better reply

Have you tried boosting them with something?

You could try putting in a little hourglass shaped booster, to absorb some of the extra wee before it breaks for the border?!

Otherwise, my guess would be that you will have to sell your bamboozles to buy the next size up (or a pocket nappy that you can stuff to suit?)

No not tried boosting with anything, I don't think I can be bothered faffing around too much tbh. I love cloth nappies but just like it to be easy iykwim. Was going to ditch the bamboozles the other day but my current plan is to put her in disposables at night (I was probably lucky that she lasted this long in cloth at night). Am also changing her one extra time (mid-morning) and she seems to be fine at the mo.
