Am I overstuffing my pockets?

LO is 17 months and we are using Alva pockets. I WAS using one 3 layer microfiber and one 2 layer microfiber. I was getting massive leaks with that.

I couldn't afford any new inserts, so I took old flannel burp cloths and made 3 layer inserts. Now I'm doing one 3 layer microfiber and two 3 layer cotton flannel. It seems to be working good, but the diapers feel really thick. Does that seem like too much?

You'll know if you're over stuffing. The pocket will pull away from the leg and begin to gape and cause leaked.

Sounds like you found a solution that works for your kiddo!!"

My baby is much younger but when we had microfiber leaks, it helped to wrap the MF inserts in a flour sack towel (5/8$ at walmart)... Problem solved....
