Nighttime Diapers...leaking

[alliannie]

What do you use for nighttime? We seem to be leaking out of the brands we buy at night. I have no problems during the day. FWIW I buy Luvs or Target brand. Should I just buy an expensive brand to use at night? I will if it will solve my problem but hate to spend the money if he is going to leak right through at night. Changing in the middle of the night is the last option as he thinks it is morning and wants to be up for good if we do that.

I am sick of changing this clothes/sheet/everything every morning. Any suggestions would be great:).

You could try going up a size for bedtime. I don't know what size you're using now, but you could try buying the overnight diapers. I know Huggies makes them and they're more absorbant. I think they start in a size 3. They also make diaper doublers that are an insert that you can put in the diapers, but those can be hard to find. Some people just put overnight maxi pads in their kids diapers and I guess that works good too.

ITA... I go a size up at night, and no leaking. I only change if there is poop, which is nearly never.

I use Pampers Be Dry and I have never had a leak during the day or night time and we do not change DD at night.

Ditto that. Use a size higher for night-time, it'll absorb more. DD never poops at night, and has gone all night in the same diaper since 4 months or so.

I've tried going up a size at night but honestly what worked better (use Target diapers normally) was switching to Huggies overnite diapers for at night.

We never used special overnight diapers. We used the regular Huggies that people bought us for a few months and when that stopped we used the BJ's (like Sam's Club or Costco) brand. When we had overnight leaks that was our signal to move up a size.

So I agree with all the previous posts.

We used Pampers Cruisers once we reached size 3. We used those until he was 18mo or so. When he reached size 4 we switched to Huggies Overnight. They are great and we haven't had a leak since.

Agreeing with all the PPs who suggested going up a size. That stopped any leakage for us.

We are already up a size at night so I don't know if going up more would help:). We use size 3 at night. I can't imagine using size 4 as he isn't anywhere near the range on them I don't think. We use 2 or 3 during the day but the 3's are big.

I tried to find Huggies overnights over the weekend but I could only find size 4 as the smallest.

Have you tried pointing his pee-pee down?

Annie, I decided to not use target anymore because of nighttime leaks. we now use huggies. I couldnt use a non brand with DS#1 either. Target dont absorb will enough for boys IMO. They worked great with DD though

For my DD, going up a size at night worked when she started leaking. (We usually used store brand.)

For my son, that didn't work. I was very hopeful it would, so we tried. After a few leaks, we switched to Huggies Overnights.

We use Huggies at night (Costco during the day).

We used to go up a size and never have a problem with leaking. Now DD is actually fitting into that bigger size, so I use diaper doublers. You can get them at Babies R Us and can work with cloth or disposable diapers. They are just extra absorbency. DD has not had any problems with the doublers. :)

Thanks for all the suggestions! We are either going to go to Huggies or get some doublers. We want to start cloth diapering so I think this is making me want to take that leap sooner than I planned.

I'm also looking for some suggestions for my daughter. She wears legs braces at night and ends up sleeping on her stomach for most of the nights.

She wears Huggies Overnight (Size 5), topped by Pampers Cruisers (Size 5) and still leaks at night! She uses size 4 during the day.

Any suggestions? It's getting pretty frustrating. Maybe I'm not putting on the diaper properly??:confused:
