My baby is just over 2 weeks old and around 9lbs, and he leaks through absolutely everything. I wanted to use disposables for the first month or so until he was bigger, but he leaked through size nb and size 1 of various brands. My husband and I decided to go ahead and use our cloth diapers, and then he leaked through those too.
Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong! I'm sick of the leaks. I'm unsure if the diapers even have time to absorb sometimes - he leaked really bad out of a disposable once, and the color changing line was still mostly yellow!
Anyway, most of our diapers are Alva pockets, and I've used 3 types of inserts: microfiber, bamboo, and charcoal/bamboo with gussets. We change our baby every 2 hours or less. He has leaked out of each kind of insert, both out the legs and up the back.
I'll upload a picture of my baby in a diaper once I figure out how (I've not been on reddit much in years and didn't post anyway).
