Luvs Diapers ~ Leaking out of top?

Any ideas about WHY this keeps happening? They leak off the left side.
When I pick Morgan up she's wet all over the side she is lying on.

Are Luvs THAT cheap?

I've never had any problems with Luvs. They are the brand of choice in my
house. With both of my kids, I've found that when I find several leaks or
blowouts over the course of a few days, sizing up to the next size diaper
usually alleviates the problem. Is it possible that it might be time to
switch to the next bigger size?

Any mom of 7 children MUST know what she is talking about!

Happy Mother's Day!

Thanks Carol Ann - but I have to admit that even with 7 kids, things catch
me by surprise quite often Practice makes perfect only in non-parenting
realms! The only advantage that having lots of kids has is that with each
one, you have a larger bag of tricks to try with each future child. You
might also want to keep the idea of cloth diapers in mind. My kids can't
wear them for more than a day or two no matter how I wash them but you
might
have better luck.

I do have the All In One Cloth diapers, but they look so big right now. I
guess I should try one on Morgan. If only to wear at nite.


Happy Mother's day to you too, I hope Morgan gives you at least a little
break! It does get easier, and it probably will for you pretty soon now.

My first was very high-needs (well, most of mine have been high-needs) and
colicky for months, but you'd never know it now. Right around 4 months he
turned into a cheerful little boy. It was really bad for awhile though -
my mom later told me that she honestly didn't believe we'd have any more
kids because he'd been so colicky. DH put his hand through the wall at one
point - less than 20 hours of sleep per week is not a good thing - and I
thought of tossing the child out the window or giving him to my mom since
he
obviously didn't like me. It was a pretty rough time all the way around
but
somehow we survived. Now he's almost 18 and it hasn't been too bad at
all
Nothing since colic has been too bad with him actually.

Wow, 18!! Amazing! Kevin tried to watch Morgan, but he doesn't have the
patience to deal with the crying.

BTW - my little one is quite enchanted with Morgan and Andrea's Lydia...
most babies he'll look at and smile, but those two? He just talks up a
storm to their photos and grins really hugeg I think he's got excellent
taste, Morgan and Lydia are both beautiful little girls.

Wow, thank you! Morgan seems to grow more alert as each day passes. She
now shifts her eyes well. When she makes eye contact (or what seems like
it)...my heart just melts.

I had a great Mother's Day.

I hope you did as well.

I do have some Pampers in size 1 that I could try. I also have All in One
Cloth Diapers.

My dh didn't either. He tried really hard, but when you're 20, it's your
first baby and you're in the Navy working more hours than any human
should... it's not easy at all. He would try but the more baby cried, the
more stressed we all got and I couldn't take it. With the later fussy ones,
I made it a point to let him walk/hold the baby anyway and I would either
concentrate on one or more of the other kids or take a shower or something.
I wish I'd done that more with the first one, I might not have been so
stressed... Also, he might not have felt so alienated from me and baby. Hard
lesson learned, but time heals much and teaches much Funny thing now? My
dh has more patience with the fussiness than I do! Good thing my Z is mostly
past the fussy stage since dh is out on the road for a month or two at a
time nowg

It just gets better the older they get. I miss the newborn smell quite a
bit, and I won't have that joy for quite a long time.. and I miss the
snuggly moments. But in return, I get first wobbly steps, gorgeous toothy
grins, a couple naps for cuddles.. and the joy of watching these little ones
grow up into neat people. Aggravating people at times, lol, but worth it
overall.

Mother's Day was a pretty normal day around here, though I'm doing good on
my spring cleaning for a change. Dh called me last night and again today and
will call later too.. he's pretty close to your area right now actually!
Just a couple states away. MIL missed her message from me because she's on
her way to orientation and training (trucking) but dh did get a chance to
talk to her earlier today luckily.. and I sent my mommy a card to thank her
for being who she is.. I know my dad is spoiling her rotten this year - he's
much better at that with all the kids out of the houseg Both my little
sisters (17 and 20) are dealing with finals at college this week, hope they
got a chance to call her. Big brother has a couple kids himself so has to
treat his wife and momg (or at least help the boys treat mom..)
