| Calan with his extra fluffy Smartipants. |
After going through my troubleshooting list a few times and asking for advice on a few forums, I discovered what I knew all along. Calan is super pee-er. My issue was mainly absorbency. He was just soaking the microfiber insert.
To resolve the issue, I have added a second insert to the pocket. I don't have leaks, but now my Smartipants aren't a slim fit anymore. Calan has quite the butt when I put them on him now. He has a few pants that won't fit over the fluff. So, I do have to be careful when I dress him in the morning to make sure either his clothes fit with the Smartipants or that I have enough of his other diapers to make it through the day, which usually I do.
Just like any child, it is frustrating when everything is going smoothly and then all of a sudden things change. Just like when I am dealing with a change in Calan's eating habits or sleep habits, his diapers need to be adjusted as he grows. Being new to cloth, it does take me a little while to figure out the issue. But I have decided that there is always a solution; it just takes some determination to find it.
I am just glad that we are dry and happy once again.
That's good news! I'd recommend trying a Knickernappies loopydo insert. They are microfber and hemp and they are incredibly absorbent for their thickness!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your slimist diaper?
ReplyDeleteI would say right now my Flips are the slimmest then probably my Katydids then my GroBabys (GroVia) and finally my Smartipants. The only diapers right now that I am having issue with clothing are the Smartipants. Everything else fits just fine.
