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

I know this may be a silly question since you said your first is a boy as well, so you probably already know, but are you checking if the boy's penis is facing straight down when putting on the diaper?

yes! had this issue with my first, it’s always facing down now.

I’ve also tried having the penis pointed up but tucking the top of the diaper around it (gently) before sealing it up. That worked better for me than tucking it straight down.
