Leaky huggies

I've always used huggies nappies, and until now they've been great. But the last three nights in a row they've leaked really badly.

We just went up a size a few weeks ago so I'm sure it's not that they're too small.

I have no idea what's causing them to leak all of a sudden! I'm always careful to make sure the leg frills are sitting properly and that his doodle is pointing down.

What can I do to stop them leaking? Or should I try a different brand for overnight? Suggestions?

same with us..no leaks since he was a tiny baby and then they have leaked the last few days:(

I've never had a problem with them..
If anything, they've improved with each size-up.

Perhaps it's just the boys?

I'd just go on trademe and find a bummis cover or something. They are good quality covers for cloth butts but no reason you can't put it over a sposie!

I've had the same problem with Samara and now I put two nappy liners in the Huggies nappy and she hasn't been wet since.

I only have a problem when he needs to go up a size we are in walker naps now. Even though you have gone up a size buy a packet of the even bigger size just to try at night. I put josh in a larger size at night while i used up the smaller size during the day and even if it doesnt work you will still use the bigger size eventually.

Don't bother trying to contact them if you want replacements. We had a terrible box of newborns where they were sewn funny and the customer service woman (in Australia) wanted us to send 4 nappies - one from the top and bottom of each stack to Australia. Then they were going to check them and *see* if there was an issue.

Can you imagine how long we would have had to wait to get that sorted?

We ended up just using them with a plastic cover over them but they were coming undone when she moved around.

I find we have issues when we first go up a size with the huggies. But someone here recommended Woolworths Select brand and they've been awesome for us (and they're lots cheaper) - so if you want to try an alternative that might be an option.

We use Huggies for both Emma and Gina and have never had leak issues.
Mikaela, are the size up maybe too big?

I have never had a problem with we only use at night too as James started peeing to much at night for cloths but you do seem to get the odd crappy one here and there.

I've started using overnaps with our huggies at night, I thought it was just because she's started to wet more in the last few weeks through the night.
