My boy's diaper always leaks from the front—what should I do?
⚡ Short answer: Front leaking usually happens for two reasons: the leg cuffs aren't positioned right, or the diaper can't handle flow to the front in boys.

My baby boy's diaper keeps leaking from the front and soaking his shirt. How should I put it on to stop this?

Front leaking usually happens for two reasons: the leg cuffs aren't positioned right, or the diaper can't handle flow to the front in boys.
Try this: When putting on the diaper, make sure your baby's penis is pointing naturally downward (into the diaper)—if it's pointing up, urine escapes out the front. Always pull out the leg cuffs (the frilly edges)—if they fold inward, urine leaks out. Pull the front of the diaper up a bit higher and fasten the waistband snugly but comfortably. Try a size up at night—more absorbent material helps. If it still leaks, you might need to switch diaper brands or styles, since every baby's body is different.
