Diaper is leaking out the front

If the diaper is leaking out the front there could be a few reasons!

In the meantime here are some possible reasons for front leaks:

1. Front of the diaper is folding in itself. This is making the insert transfer the moisture onto the cover. Basically, the front side of the diaper has to be straight up, not folded in. If you snap it such that it stays straight, it will prevent diaper leaking from the front. 

Here is an example of a diaper that is snapped incorrectly, causing folds and front leaks: 

 

 

Ensure a smooth snap and no folds at the top like this:


2. The your little one needs a little more wiggle room. The insert might be pulling the cover down inside.  Unsnap the insert from the back inside of the diaper cover. There are two snaps in the inside of the diaper cover, just unsnap one and you' should see that the cover is straight.


3. If you have a boy or are struggling with front leaks overnight with a tummy sleeper, you may just need a little added absorbency up front. Try leaving the large insert completely unsnapped and sliding them towards the front of the diaper. Or, add a booster or cloth wipe up front for extra absorbency. 

4. Last but not least, if you have a little boy, don't forget to make sure he is 'pointed down' at every single diaper change!
