Hi ladies!
Our little boy is 2 weeks old today, and his bellybutton has dried up so we're using cloth diapers now. We were using the NB disposables before with the cut-out for the bellybutton!
I made prefolds before he was born. I made them out of recieving blankets and old towels - so there's a layer in the middle that's thicker than the sides.
The problem we are having is LEAKS! We use Bummis covers, and I always make sure to tuck all the parts of the diaper inside the cover, but we've soaked through more sleepers than I can count. The poos are fine (I'm BFing) but when he pees it must leak through the leg holes? and through to his sleeper.
I'm wondering if anyone actually uses prefolds anymore (haha!) and if they have tips for me?
I'm using a Snappi instead of pins (those things are the best invention!). If that makes a difference?
I don't know if anyone will have any advice. Maybe I should post some pictures of them? I donno!!!
Anyway, thanks for reading!
