Advice Wanted newborn keeps having leaks

pic for reference

with most diapers i’ve tried he keeps having leaks from the top when the rest of the diaper is dry. for reference, these are huggies snug and dry, but it’s with multiple different ones that worked for my first son.

for my baby shower i asked solely for rascals because those worked for my first son the best and now i have so many boxes that i cant use because they leak like this.

for reference the only diapers that didnt leak were luvs and parents choice surprisingly. all huggies brand do this and rascals/millie moon

do you breast feed? i noticed that was happening to my 4 month old until i realized the boob i wasnt using while feeding him would leak onto him and always left a wet spot lol

I also took a very long time to realize that the boob I wasn’t feeding with was capable of (and often was) leaking. 🫠🫠🫠

I just used use the cloth breast pads but then I just started shoving a burp cloth under my top.
