I Need Some Good Advice on Diapers...

I have 2 daughters (both are grown now) when they were babies one of them wore Pampers and one wore Huggies. Pampers worked great on one, didnt fit the other. The same with Huggies, it may be the same with you, the diapers just dont fit every child the same
good Luck

My cousin had this problem with her son. The only diapers she found to work were Luvs! Maybe try and see...hope it works better for you! C.

Hi H.,
I had the same problem with my daughter. I used Luvs. Believe it or not they really worked. You may also want to try a diaper and then a pull-up over top. And maybe limit the amount of liquid before bed.
Hope this helps.

Stop giving him so much to drink.

you could try going up a size, generally it helps but depending on babies body shape the diaper might leak because you can't get it tight enough, and at 30 lbs he would probally fit in the good nights, there is no such thing as to young if it fits and works, they make pull up diapers for infants now anyways right....

Huggies has a great overnight diaper....it's been almost 2 years since I bought them but, I'm sure they still make them. When I used them on my daughter, Wal-mart carried them.

We use the Huggies Overnights. They go up to size 5, I think.

my son is 32 pounds & wears a size 6 pampers cruiser. at night we use a size 7 pampers cruiser & put a pull up over it.

you might be okay with just a size bigger in the pampers though.

also, up until he grew out of them, we used huggies overnights. they only go up to size 6, but i think that would be fine for your son if he's 30lbs. they were the BEST at solving the exact same problem you're having. if they made a 7, we'd still use them.

also, cut down on fluids a few hours before bed. i give our son his last full sippy cup of milk by 5pm. he then has 1/2 cup of water with dinner (around 6:30) & his pjs are usually on (along with night diaper) by 7:45/8:00. we have a little routine where after we brush his teeth for the night he is allowed 3 little sips of water from a dixie cup in the bathroom. it quenches his thirst without filling him with too much fluid.

also, if you sign up on websites, a lot of companies (proctor & gamble) will send you coupons in the mail or email for diapers.

good luck!! :)

I used Huggies Overnights for my daughter. She was in cloth during the day, but I never had any trouble at all with leaking at night with the Huggies Overnights. They seem to be more absorbant than the regular disposables (at least all the brands we tried). They make them up through size 5 (at least I never saw a size 6).

A friend of mine used to use those poise pads (for adult incontinence) and stick them into the diaper right where it was needed most. It worked for her son.

Have you tried Luvs? They work really good. And, they are alittle cheaper. Also, you may want to talk to your pediatrician, mine suggested once they use a cup, I could set a time for last calls for drinks. I do it 1 hr before bed.
Hope this helps!

I have had the same problem with both my boys. I use pampers during the day, but have always used Huggies Overnights at night. They only go up to size 5, but my 19 month old is over 20lbs and he still fits and doesn't leak. I know wal-mart carries them and so does diapers.com Hope you leaks go away, I know that is no fun to deal with every morning! Good Luck

Hi! I had this problem for the few years that my daughter was in diapers. There was nothing that helped her, not even the pull-ups. The best thing to do is to try to limit the fluid intake that he has before he goes to bed. Im not saying dont give him anything to drink, just try to cut back some. Does he go to bed with a bottle? That might be a problem as well. You can also try changing him before you go to bed, because remember durring the day he is active and changed more frequently, and I'm sure that he sleeps at least 12 hours at night, if not more. Good luck to you. I hope that this helped some.

We wnet through this same thing with my son. He is 17 months and weighs 30lbs. Wears Pampers during the day..sheets wet every morning..etc. We now use HUGGIES OVERNITES. They have them in size 4&5. I however can only find them at Target and Giant Eagle. (We live in Cuy. Falls) Hope this helps!

Hi H.!

I also use Pampers Baby Dry during the day. However, at night, I use Huggies Night Time Pull-Ups. They have extra absorbancy. He hardly ever leaks. I've been using those since he was a 13 months old.

I still call it a diaper, just his "night-night" diaper. So he never really cared about it being different than his day diaper. Also, weight wise, your son should be fine in a pull-up diaper. He's definitely not too young.

Good luck!

HUGGIES!! I love Huggies they have worked for both my boys and my oldest was a peeier...They make a overnight also...I would switch him up a size also....Usually when kids start peeing through it means their diapers are too small. At least that's been my expierence...My oldest was also a big dude...By 2 he was 40lbs....we had him in pull ups way before potty training time and he potty trained in overnights for big kids.....if you need any advice you can e-mail me!!!

God Bless,

I was having this same problem out of my 9 month old daughter, only it started when she was around 4 months old. She peed quite a bit in utero so I had alot of amniotic fluid so it didn't surprise me much when she peed alot when she was born. I started using Huggies overnights diapers when she was 4 months old and have not had a single wet bed when she wakes up since. They are AMAZING! I would definitely recommend getting these!

Hope that helps and good luck!

We have always used LUVS. They are cheaper than Huggies and Pampers and they work great! I had the same problems with Pampers. I don't know how they stay in business!

I would try a size up first, even if the weight doesn't match. I like Target brand personally, it's cheap and they rarely leak...they do sometimes, but I would assume most diapers do.

My son is 14 months old and we use Huggies Overnights...they start at size 4.
Good Luck!

Hi H.!
I used to use pampers and my little boy used to wet through them even as an infant. It seems like the Huggies diapers have more absorbing padding in the front which is where little boys need it the most...!

We have used Huggies Overnights with good luck.
I normally do not like Huggies, but their overnights work well.
They can be a little tough to find, but they have them at Target, Toys R Us and Babies R Us.

Just last week I bought Huggies Overnight diapers and they are great. They are a little thicker than regular diapers. I bought them at Target.

I know Huggies makes an overnight diapers. I got some left over from a sisters visit. They are great. Closest to Cleveland that has them is

Thats what Huggies site just said. Wonder if you can find them online at diapers.com or something?

I wish the people that responded gave more specifics where to find them, because I just can't find them.

there are two things I would suggest. i use a diaper doubler at night for my son (you can buy them at toysrus) and I also switched to Huggies SUPREME. NOT regular huggies, they have to be supreme. They work great and I haven't had anymore night time problems. I don't know if he is too small for pullups, however, they are not nearly as absorbant as diapers.
Good Luck!

I've had this same problem with my almost 2 year old off and on since she was this age. Sometimes I think they just don't make diapers that will absorb as much as she pees at night. Some suggestions I have for you are to first monitor how much he drinks right before bed. I noticed that the more my daughter would drink right before bed, the more I had this problem. I had to start cutting her off at a certain point during the evening. This helped a ton. Also, they make what are called diaper doublers. I've seen them in CA; not sure if they have them out here, but they are like giant maxi-pad looking things that you put inside their diaper to help absorb more. If you can find those, great. If not, try putting 2 diapers on him at night. This sometimes help catch it when the first one is full. Goodluck with it all. I understand it's no fun to wake up to a baby who is drenched in their own pee.

I had the same problem with my daughter waking up soaking wet. I switched to Huggies Overnights. They work wonderful and she wakes up with dry sheets. My daughter sometimes sleeps 10 - 12 hours so they can hold a lot. I can always find them at Wal-mart. Good luck in your search.

I had the exact same problem with my son. The answer for me was to use "diaper doublers." We would put one in his diaper at night and it kept the sheet changing and soggy bottoms at bay. You can search for them on google.

Hi H.,
I had the exact same problem with my son and spent a small fortune trying to find a diaper that would hold 12 hours worth of night-time!

DIAPER DOUBLERS

that's the answer...they look like sanitary napkins, but are ultra absorbant. stick them in the diaper and your mornings of washing sheets are behind you! :) they're like $3 for a pack of maybe 30. they come in a blue package. i've only found them at babies r us...
Good luck!

Hi H.- Same problem with my son at about 18 months. We switched to Huggies Overnights at bedtime and no problems since. I've bought them at Target and Meijer.

I love Pampers Cruisers, in the purple bag. I haven't had a problem with them.

I also suggest what others have said about using a doubler, and limiting drinks possibly after dinner or before bed. Mine both wet heavily at night, and while we use cloth diapers, I would just put an extra doubler (cloth) at night and I wouldn't have wet sheets. Also, even if you use sposie's, you could go to the store (any store, baby supply store or target) and get a pack of plastic pants (Gerber or other brand) and just put one of those over the diaper. It will prevent wicking onto their clothes or sheets without wasting another sposie. It isn't difficult to wash, just throw it in with regular clothes or toss it into the bathroom and rinse it next time you take a shower.

My daughter used to soak through everything when she was a baby (she's 3 now). We tried all the diapers and actually found Luvs work the best. I had the worst luck with Huggies on her and my newborn.

Hi H.,
I has the same problem with the baby dry diapers too and so did a friend of mine. We both found that the crusers kind work really well. That is the only kind of diaper that I buy my son. Hope that you find a solution to the wet sheets soon because that is no fun to change sheets everyday. GOOD LUCK!!!

Pampers as a size 6 also. My 2 year is the some way. When we would have a wet bed for more then two mornings I knew it was time to up the size of our diaper. We do the same thing for our 7 1/2 months old. Godd Luck..

My son is 3 now and been out of diapers for quite sometime, however I always swore by Pampers Cruisers....they were great. Maybe you should use a Size 6 at night? Good luck!

I would try Huggies Overnight, they are diapers, but are more absorbent. I had to use them when my daughter was around his age.

Go to babies r us and get 'diaper doublers'. there's 30 in a pack and they're only 2.99 (cheaper than washing sheets every day :0)
Worked perfect for our son who was having the same problems and the same weight. Wish you the best.

Hi H.,
We use the same diapers during the day as you and at night I use huggies overnites they come is sizes that will fit our little ones. I have yet to find them at giant eagle but walmart always seems to have them. They work great for us. Good luck.

Hi H.!

I have had great luck with the Pull-ups Night time in size 2t-3t (my son is 11 months old and has worn them for 2 months since he was 25 lbs.) They seem to be the best solution for us right now.

Good luck!

Make sure the diapers aren't too small. If they aren't, try LUVS. Both are made by P&G, but I have found LUVS to be more absorbent. Huggies also makes a night-time diaper for babies that is more absorbent. I haven't used them in a couple of years, but I know they still make them.

I had the same problem with my daughter. I use huggies overnight size 4 diapers with her and they work great. I've only had a few occasions where she has soaked through one. I believe they make the diapers in size 5 as well. FYI-the only place I have been able to find them is at Target. Good luck, H.

Huggies has an overnight brand. My son is 19months old and that is what I use on him. He wears a size 5. You can get them at Walmart.

Huggies makes a good overnight diaper. However, they are not available at all stores. I can only ever find them at Wal-Mart. They're in a purple package. I also found a product at Toys'R'Us called Diaper doublers. It's like a pad it just inserts in the diaper and gives it more absorbancy. Hope this helps

I went thru the same thing with my son. No diaper worked. We actually had to cut off his drinking by 7:30 pm at the latest. This way he didn't drink any more fluids and didn't see to wet as much during the night. I hope that you find a diaper but nothing worked for me except cutting his fluid intake, might give that a try too.
Good Luck :)

Ok I have 3 sons and I only use hugges for my boys and for the twins I put them in a size diaper up from the size they are in and they are never soaked any more try that it should work AS for over night diaper they work to my older son wear them up until he was 3 the he stop and he had no accidents
it work great

you should try size 6 diapers for night time only! my son does the same thing..he is 21 months old and i found that this keeps him dry and you are right..it is gross when they wake up soaked and smelling like urine..and you kniw it has to be uncomfortable for them!! good luck, hopes this works!!

We had this problem with our son. Either move to a size 6 or better yet, Huggies Good Nights are extra absorbant.
