I have to change hime constantly. he is 8 weeks old and has been like that since I brought him home. He goes thru 6-8 outfits/day because of drenched diapers, not because they leak.

yep, they drink a lot of milk or formula so they pee a lot. i remember i used to go thru so many diapers, now my son is 15months old and i use mabe 4 a day. it gets cheeper, they start to poop less too.

My son was soaking through diapers too, then I put him in the next size up. The diaper seemed a little big, but since then I have had no problem with him being soaked and going through diapers. If that doesn't work, try a different brand which might help. My son can't wear the Pampers Swaddlers, but the Huggies Supremes and White Cloud diapers were just fine on him. Plus make sure to point his little piece down. I found that if you diaper him and it points up or sideways, it can cause problems (if you know what I mean). Good luck!!
P.S. Don't feed him less either and just change him more if you are still having problems - that is the best you can do :)

My son did the same. I finally got bigger diapers. He still pees alot and I use the next size up. Also, you might want to experiment using different diapers. I found that one kind was over flowing at the top. He is chubby, that may have something to do with it. ;) I found that I have to use a diaper with elastic in the back and on the tabs. My best friends son is very slim and he does best with a diaper with no elastic at all. Hope this helps. Good luck! Keep washing all those cute little clothes with a smile on your face!

What size diapers is he in? My son wears size 1 diapers during the day and size 2 at night (he sleeps through the night). A bigger diaper might help you out it can hold more

soaking a diaper through every 1-2 hours is not normal for an 8 week old. He must be drinking an awful lot. I'd check with your pediatrician.

It really depends on how much he is drinking. But an 8 week old shouldn't be able to pee out of a diaper. there bladders aren't that big. I would definitly call the dr to get a proffesionals advice.

Dude, that's not normal my three kids were potty trained by the time I took them home from the hospital. You may want to have him checked by a qualified pediatrician. Just kidding, if he's on formula make it a bit thicker, and if he's breast fed have Mom maybe change her diet a bit. I'm not a physician speak with your pediatrician if your concerned.

Are you using disposible or cloth diapers? (maybe obvious but...) is his penis pointing down in his diaper? If it points up, he will leak out the front.

Could you perhaps be using too large a diaper, thus resulting in seepage? Just an honestly constructive suggestion.
