**MACB** and other BG users
I'm failing at using the bumgenius which I'm pretty sure is nearly impossible. They are leaking about 75% of the time. Last night I had him in one with the big insert and he slept for 4 hours and woke up soaking wet. During the day I have had him in the newborn insert and they leak. I'm going to start stuffing all the dipes with the big insert starting today. I think he is about 14ish pounds now so he is ready.
They are leaking, fairly consistently, on his left back side. I feel like I might be stuffing them incorrectly, maybe putting them on wrong?
I've, as you know, put so much money into them that they HAVE to work.
What do you think?
Re: **MACB** and other BG users
I don't wonder if he's just still too small. It isn't just weight that determines when they are ready for the one size dipes- it can also be shape. I can't remember when I moved to the regular inserts, but I can't imagine it was when he was as little as Abe. (But then again, we don't need to use double inserts for him during the day.)
Here's a silly question... you do have them all snapped down to the smallest size, right?
He might be prone to sleeping/ sitting in a way that makes the pee run to the back left corner, so maybe you need to be sure the insert is good and tucked in that corner?
Hm, I don't think I'm that much help. :-)
I would agree with the girls that maybe its too big. We didn't switch over to the one sizers for a while. Also, like Meg said, make sure the folded end is by the penis. Also, make sure they have been washed a lot. When I had leak issues it was because I hadn't built up their absorbancy enough.
Lastly, just make sure there is no microfiber showing. Every once in a while when Luke would leak I'd realize just a little piece of the inside was out, so when it absorbed it soaked his clothes.
Keep trying. I've found the BG to be amazing! But, I do remember having leak frustrations early on. When I finally got it, I realized why everyone loved them so much
GL!
I do have them snapped to the smallest size. I have both snaps and hook and loops. Both appear to leak but i will try to pay attention to see if one leaks more than the other. I am tucking the insert under the little tab in the back and then putting the microfiber over that. I feel like he is pretty big but maybe the dipes are too big for him? **sigh** I will keep trying!!
Thanks Chickies.
