Thread: Wet at Night

Eeek, you already tried the things I was going to suggest (change brand, larger size). Hope someone else can help, sorry!

I would suggest moving up a size if they are leaking, I normally make sure I am at the bottom of the weight range if you know what I mean!

The size 4 goes from 15lb - 40lb and the size 4+ goes from 20lb - 44lb so i would move Hollie up to size 4+ from when she weighs 20lb rather than waiting till nearer 40lb does that make sense lol!

Also Bella is quite a bit bigger than Hollie and she wears a size 4 with no leaks, not sure how sizes compare in the UK to the US but I would definitely move her up!

Yeah,our sizes are different. Size 3 is from 16-26 lbs. Size 4 is from 22-36 lbs, or something similar. I tried 4s a couple weeks ago and it didn't work. I might try again as it has been two weeks since I tried the 4 size.

Yeah I would try her again with a 4 and see how that goes!

I hope that moving up the nappy size works for you hun, it must be very frustrating for you

Can you get Pampers Cruisers there? The regular Pampers and the Cruisers sizes are a bit different, the cruisers are a longer diaper if you compare the two of the exact same size diaper. I had the same issue with Abel, he didn't leak with the cruisers, where they were longer and went up higher on his belly. My main problem with him was that he likes to roll onto his tummy to sleep, and sleeping at that angle cause the pee to run up and gather towards the top of the diaper, and eventually run out when it has no place left to go, and the pampers cruiser def did the trick with being made higher in the back and front.

Have you thought about cloth diapers? Maybe just for at night? I know they are pricey but if you just get a few for the night time and get the ones that grow with the baby, you can use them for longer. You might want to ask the moms on here if they found them to work well at night. Just throwing out a suggestion!

I used a huggie nappy with a pull up over top , or double up the nappy

You could get some lanolized wool (not superwash) shorties/longies for over her nightime diaper. I know Jessy knits some adorable ones. At least it'll save the bedding. They do have to be handwashed but only every other week-ish or when pooped on.


Otherthan that, moving up a size sounds reasonable. I don't know whether you can add a hemp or bamboo doubler to a disposable - the fit may be too trim - but that's what I'd add if she were in cloth.

As far as her laying in it, is she rashy? If yes, a barrier cream or a thin fleece liner would help.

She will probably wet like this right up until you figure out the solution, then settle down again. They do that.
