How to deal with the cloth nappy leaks?
Keep a regular check on the insert, whether they are saturated or slightly damp.
Saturated inserts
If you discover the nappy insert flooded, there must be some absorption issues. In such case following are the two possible solutions –
- Raise the frequency of changing the nappy
If you change the nappy every 3-4 hours, then you will certainly eliminate this issue. Unlike disposable nappies, cloth nappies physically absorb the liquid. In disposable diapers, the chemical gelling agent is used for quick and extra absorption. Thus, cloth diapers do not possess the immense absorption capacity as compared to disposable diapers; hence need to be changed more often.
- Add an additional insert to increase the absorption.
To avoid leaks and keep the baby dry for an extended period of time, add an additional insert for more absorption. If you are using a single insert, add another one. If you are already using two inserts, then switch to a booster kit. Our booster pads are specifically manufactured for heavy wetter babies, and they are extra comfortable as well. Shop boosters here.
Slightly Damp inserts
Slightly or partially damp inserts may mean that the issue is about the fitting. Here is how you can solve such an issue:
- Rearrange the fit
The fit issue is the primary reason for leaking nappies. Fitting the diaper properly can help you manage the leak issue. If you are a newbie, it could be a lack of practice responsible for unfit diapers. With time you will learn to manage it at once, till then you must rearrange the diaper whenever you discover a slightly damp but leaky nappy.
