Adding gussets to pocket diapers?

[HJF90]

Hi,

I am sewing pocket diapers for my cousin's new baby. I have only sewed for my older baby and never made gussetts on my Happy Heiny-like pockets. However I made some newborn diapers for my friend's baby and she had trouble with blow-outs. I thought gussets would be the answer to that problem.

I am adding gussets (with elastic inside between the fleece and the PUL), and was wondering if I should also apply elastic inside the regular part of the pocket (like I usually do) or is the outer elastic enough? It's tough to guess because I don't have a newborn handy to try it on!

Any suggestions are welcome with your experiences.

Thank you,
Holly

I have not done this but probably need to for my 2y old for when she is sick (yuk!).

I'm thinking elastic in both places would be better. More protection!
