DS discovered his legs and is constantly kicking his diaper down. Almost every diaper is a leaky diaper now.

Recently DS has really discovered his arms and legs. He is always kicking his legs around and moving around. By doing this, he pushes his diaper down a bit and almost every diaper is a leaky diaper. DS is wearing size 1 diapers at 8 pounds. The NB size is too small and tight. The slightest kick down of diaper makes a wet spot in his clothes.

Is there any way to secure the diaper better or should I just get used to changing DS's clothes 10x a day?

Maybe you can try a different brand of diapers and see if you have the same problem Chat Icon

...but at that age, don't you usually change a diaper that many times a day?
I have to question - cause my DD is 3 and I don't remember Chat Icon

If his diapers are wet all the way at the top-you are probably not changing him enough...If they are wet around the thighs try a different diaper or size

To clarify, when he kicks, his CLOTHES get wet and I have to change his clothes when I change his diaper because his diaper leaked. I change his diaper often.

It doesn't sound like the diaper is fitting him correctly, I would probably go up a size or switch brands

I would try a new brand. Are you making sure to point his pee pee downwards when you change him?

Where is he getting wet...front or back? My first thought would be your not pointing the peesh down...especially if he's getting wet in the front.

it doesn't sound like the diaper is on right.

-is his pee pee down?
-do you make the tape match? (ie nice a snug)
-do you pull the ruffles out around the leg?
-how often do you change him?
-it doesn't seem like the diaper is tight enough.

What does pee pee down mean? Penis down?

I change his diaper very often - sometimes two times per hour when he is awake. When he sleeps, I don't change it until he wakes up so sometimes once every 2-4 hours.

yes, you need to point his penis down. and there is no reason to change him 2 time an hour. once every two hours is fine unless he has a dirty diaper (not just wet).

the tabs on the diaper should be fastened very snugly.
