I know how frustrating it can be when your little one reaches those points along the path of growing up where they start to drink more and then as a result they pee more.   I mean seriously you had everything worked out right?  You had the perfect diaper solution and it was going great. . . then *BAM* one day they are peeing through EVERYTHING!!!!

So what do you do?  Do you get all new diapers?  Do you add more bulk to the existing diapers?  Well, I really can’t answer for other diaper brands, but I do have a few suggestions if you use my cloth diapers.

If you are using my fitted Nifty Nappy and the insert that came with it:

• you can try to pull the insert toward the front more and then fold it down . . . putting the bulk right where you need it and not all over the diaper. -4th picture in this folding tutorial
• you can fold your one insert into thirds.  -1st & 2nd picts in this folding tutorial
• you can add an extra insert.

If you are using my PeachyKeen Pocket when a little one starts to pee more really fast sometimes the microfleece will not wick fast enough.  If this is the case and you are having leaking problems with your pocket diapers I would suggest:

• using the insert as a lay in insert instead of a stuffer.  This will put the absorbency right next to the baby and avoid the wicking problem.
• adding an extra insert.
• also implementing any of the folding techniques.

*NOTE: I only suggest this with MY inserts because they are made with bamboo velour and hemp, and can be placed against the baby’s bum . . . there are some fabrics it are not good to place right next to the baby’s behind, so please do your research before you do this with any other brand of inserts.

Along with either of these diapers there is also the option of a wool cover.  I LOVE wool covers, and when my baby reached the point where she was peeing though the pockets, and nothing else would help. . . I didn’t want to bulk up her diaper with extra inserts and make it uncomfortable or possibly difficult for her to move around, so I used a wool cover.  Wool made it so I could still use the pockets, but not bulk them up.  If you have any wool questions please feel free to visit my wool information page.

I really hope that this helps some mama’s out there!

Happy Diapering,
