My ds has just turned 6 months and is about 15.5 lbs, but is very very tall. He was 27 inches at 4 months.<br><br>
I have been using G diapers but he has leak issues. I bought some cloth diapers- the seize for 15-30 pounds. However hard I try to put them on tight they are baggy around the legs.<br><br>
We were away travelling a couple of weeks ago so I decided to use disposable. The size 2 are pretty tight on him, but the 3's are pretty baggy.<br><br>
Either way he leaks out of them. I change him frequently and it is so frustrating. Last night he soaked through sleepwear, blanket and sheet. He did it again at naptime.<br><br>
Does anyone have any suggestions?!

Oooh! We have been there. Our suggestion - go up a size. The absorbency could be a problem.<br><br>
Our son is about 15 pounds and wears SIZE 4 - Kirkland brand (Costco) diapers. They fit well. Of course, the diapers cover his belly button. But, there have been no leaks. I suspect as well, the larger size holds more liquid.<br><br>
Also, we did not have success with Pampers.

last time I used sposies was when we moved and DD was about that size I put her in size 4 dipes.<br><br>
she just has chubby legs and a belly, what can i say.<br><br>
and cloth dipes, you really have to find what works best for your babe. i can't use fuzzy bunz because she's got these *thighs* and the FBs just cut into them and if i size up then i can't get them tight enough around the waist. you've not known cleanup until you've had poop up the back and into the *hair* of a babe. And the pillow and the sheets and the... it was bad. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol"><br><br><br>
I finally settled on prefolds and flats and covers and they work well for us. you might have to try a few different kinds of dipes and find the fit. maybe find some gently used stuff on the trading post?
