Leaking Diapers

Honestly, we have been having a problem with the cloth diapers leaking. Look at what I just found:
"Free and Clear": We get calls daily about leaking cloth diapers (especially pocket diapers and all in ones), and the Free and Clear detergents listed below are the culprits 99% of the time. Free and Clear detergents contain microbiostats, which control the growth of microorganisms, such as dust mites. This is beneficial to those with allergies, but may be the common ingredient that causes the fleece in your pocket diapers to repel. Now, many parents use Free and Clear detergents with great success (it really depends on your local water mineral content and washer), but if you begin to have leaks or smells after a few weeks or months, try stripping your diapers and then switching detergents.

Well, I thought we just needed to change Emmy more often. It looks like I need to "strip" and change detergents!
