Wetting Daipers at Night

Hi K.~ I just have a suggestion to deal with wet bedding. A friend of mine told me about this. she said to make the bed in layers. You would need more than one crib sheet and more than one matress pad to do this. but what you do is put down a matress pad and a sheet, then put another on top in the same order. Then if you need to change sheets in the middle of the night, you just pull off the wet sheet and matress pad and there are dry ones underneath. The is a great idea for when the kids are sick as well. Makes those middle of the night problems easier. And I am so gonna buy the huggies overnights for my little guy who is full to his ears in the morning.

If you can find them anywhere, try getting the plastic re-usable training pants that go over underwear for toddlers. You might be able to find some for really cheap at a thrift store or if you have a pregnancy center that gives donations(ie-clothes, diapers...) I have a couple of pairs and they worked well for me. Also, I had that problem with pampers all the time with my frist son and I switched brands altogether. I use the White Cloud diapers from walmart which are considerably cheaper and they work WAY better than the pampers.

Hope this helps.

my son 15 months old used to have the same problem I tried huggies overnignt diapers and they work awsome! no more un happy 2 in the morning. they are a little pricey but worth it.

Hi K., I have 2 and half year old twin girls. One always wet her diaper everynight, then someone told me about Huggies overnights. They work great and I also stopped giving any kind of liquid execept for the bottle at an early time. It should help.

Stop giving drinks before right before bed. Give them about 2 hours prior to bed.

Hi, K.,

I'm not sure if you are still seeking help, but I wanted to fill you in on cloth diapers. I use the brand Fuzzibunz and with a regular insert plus a super soaker double insert, I hsve no problems. Check them out on the web, even if you only want to use them at night. Ok, good luck!

I know that there are "overnight" diapers....I wonder if they would help at all? Also, a larger size in another brand might be able to contain the spills!

Good Luck!

my son also used to wet through his diapers at night. we switched to the Costco brand, Kirkland's. (if you or a friend have a membership) have been using them for almost a year and a half. I was leary at first but they're great and rarely have leaks and have a strechy waistband. and they're cheaper! I also agree with the other mom's to go up a size. good luck!

Pampers are not really the best overnight diapers. I don't know why exactly, but In all sizes my som had some wet nights thanks to pampers.
I find that he drinks alot, and it's just better to change him once at night.
He wakes up on and off for a few minutes during the night. I always give him a water bottle and he goes right back out. I change him right there in bed, and he is so passed out he just lays there.
Then we can all go back to sleep, and no one has to get peed on (like me)

well the number one thing is cut liq before bedtime... my son was always soaking his diapers and finally we stopped the sippy cup before bed and it made things TONS easier.

I went through the EXACT same situation a few months ago. Like many other people have said....I now swear by Huggies Overnights. I tried EVERYTHING!! I cut other diapers, tried the next size bigger and every other brand. I usually hate Huggies regular diapers, but the overnights really do work. My son doesn't even need to limit the amount he drinks at night time. He has NEVER peed through the overnights. Good luck!

my daughter is going through the same thing. you could try going to the next size diaper and maybe it will hold more or you could try a thing called daiper doublers. babies r us sells them i just got them a couple weeks ago and although it has not stoped it completely it has still cut down on the mid night pj changes. if your daughter stills wakes up in the middle of the night for a bottle or early in the morning and then goes back to sleep you can change her and put another one on her, hope this helps it did for me.

I'm surprised to hear she is wetting through Pampers. My DD is also 11 months and her diapers were leaking when we used Huggies. We just switched to Pampers CRUISERS and they're great! If you're not using Cruisers, I'd try those. If so, maybe she can nurse less or drink less right before bed?

Have you tried using the Huggies Overnights. I swear by them, they have kept my son dry through the night. During the day I did use pampers, but at night I needed to switch for that same reason and the Huggies overnights work great. He drinks alot so although he is potty trained, i still put these on him at night, and he has never gone threw it.

I don't know if this will help (because it doesn't make much sense to me from a logical standpoint), but my sister-in-law was having the same problem, and actually started using the next size up diaper (for example, her daughter weights 22 lbs.; she went from using a size 3 16-28 lbs diaper to using a size 4 22-37 lbs). She said it stopped the leaks. You could give it a try and see if it works.
I've also heard of double-diapering (actually putting two diapers on the baby) but that sounds weird to me and I don't have any experience with it. Good luck, and sorry I couldn't be more help.

Wow... I have two boys that do this every night. It's the pits and the laundry sucks too. Anyway, I've noticed that if I cut back on sippy cups in the afternoon till bed time, they don't wet thru as often. Good Luck!

PS- I use pampers. I've tried others, but they work the best.

you can also try putting the diaper on backwards-that worked for me for a while huggies overnight

We had the same problem with Pampers too. Huggies supreme works really well for over night. Huggies also makes an over night diaper. I actually prefer the Supremes over those. We also tried limiting the amount of liquids our little one had right before bed. Good Luck.

Huggies Overnights hold GALLONS they were my solution to this same problem with DD #1.

I had the same problem with my 15 month old daughter a few months ago because I tried different brands of cheaper diapers. I went back to the ones I used first because they worked the best. They were the Huggies Supreme Natural Fit (red bag) and they worked when she soaked through the other diapers.

When my son started wetting out of his diapers at night we switched him to Huggies Overnight diapers. It did the trick! We haven't had a problem since!

Huggies Supremes work and also LUVS are WONDERFUL!!!!

i would try white cloud diapers from wal-mart. best diapers i ever used lol. and maybe try to limit the fluids closer to bedtime. i know its hard cuz shes so young but it works. i had the same problem with my daughter. good luck:-)

My 19-month-old son still wets through some of his diapers at night. It's been an ongoing thing for us for months.

What I've found that works best is Huggies Overnights diapers (you might try going up a size, too) plus a diaper doubler (Wegmans has them).

Most mornings he's not soaked, or just has a little that leaked through around the belly or leg.

He does drink a 10 oz sippy of milk before bed plus sometimes nurses during the night, and I don't restrict liquids in the evenings. I'd rather him wake up wet than be thirsty.

During the summer, I can change his diaper easily if he wakes up. But right now he wears 2-piece PJs plus a zippered, footed fleecy PJ on top, making diaper changes in the dark a bit challenging.

My son used do the same thing and I received this advice and it worked for me. I gave him a double diaper, but on the inside diaper I put a rip on the outside of the front of the diaper. For a girl maybe the rip should be near the bottom. Then I put another diaper on top of that one. My son never wet through this contraption. Good Luck.

Huggies makes an overnight diaper. (Huggies Overnights) They work great. The stink during the day though, because they dont move with your child. But overnight they are great. Give them a try.

My oldest son used to do the same thing, I started cutting off any drinks at an earlie hour. hoping that he would empty his blatter before going to bed. Give this a try, and if nothing else, I would call the doctor.

pampers baby dry? try the next size up for more coverage? i don't know, it could just be body type too, but they worked for my daughter better than anything else.

I think most of us have been there at some point - most like everyone suggested - I used overnight diapers & bought one size up from what she usually wore during the day and limited the amount of liquids the hours before bedtime. That usually did the trick!
Also, don't be fooled by price tags - just because Pampers are more expensive doesn't always mean they are the best. While I loved their cruisers for the day because they were softer, flexible, held tighter, & prevented leaks when she was active, I liked Huggies overnights for bedtime. My youngest is now potty training & at bedtime wears a pull-up. I use the CVS store brand because they hold better (keep her clothes dry when she does have an accident) than the Pampers did & they are much cheaper!!

Hi K., I can totally relate to your story!
Through my experiece, there's a couple things you could do that worked for me:

1) limit the amount of liquids about 3-4 hours before bedtime
2) try using overnight diapers (which absorb more liquid since the absorbancy materials are distributed differently than daytime ones)
3) upgrade the size of your daughter's regular daiper altogether

This last suggestion was really all my son needed to prevent changing the sheets at 3 in the morning! Since our children grow, so do their bladders and their ability to hold more liquid changes, as does their ability to hold it for longer periods.

My thought is that since your daughter is maturing, she's wetting less diapers throughout the day (but wet, full ones nonetheless), so at night she lets go of all the liquid she's drunk the last few hours before bedtime in one shot (rather than 'short, little pees') and the diaper's liquid capacity can't absorb that amount in a short time so it overflows onto her bed. (*Much like when we women wear a maxipad and stand up, where the pad can't handle that gush of blood, then we get leaks - sorry, girls!) So the solution was to upgrade my son's diaper one size, to allow for more absorbancy. And the wet bedding ceased!

In addition, I always had a bedsaver beneath my son's sheets (available to babiesrus, buybuybaby, etc.) and having that thick, plastic sheet under there always saved his mattress from getting soaked too... Hope I've been of some help, so keep us posted!

my sister had this problem with my neice (she used to drink alot fluids all day and at night) so what she ended up doing was buying cheap store brand diapers and using 2 at night, she would tear the first one underneath then put another over the top of that torn one. this was the only thing that would work. i beleive she tried every brand of diaper before coming up with the double diaper technique, LOL :) hope this helps ??

try huggies overnights & you can also use a doubler.
the overnight really helped my oldest daughter who was a very heavy night wetter.

E.

Did you try moving up to the next size diapers?

does she drink alot an hour before bed my son has that problem and he has to stop drinking an hour before bed actually he doesn't drink anything except the tiny bit of milk he goes to bed with after dinner it does help alot pampers are a great line I always recomend them so hopefully this helps
god bless,

i have 3 little boys ages 4 and twin 2 year olds. the twins are still in diapers for 4 years we have used Pampers cruisers - we tried other brands but we found they leaked for us - is it the cruisers you are using? they contour to the body and are stretchy. I would also consider going to the next size.

OK....huggies are GREAT for girls. Pampers tend to be better for boys. Couldn't tell u why. Also try going up a size. This may help! Huggies makes an overnight diaper which may help as well. Good luck 2 u!

Hi K.

We have found that if we use a one-size larger diaper at night than we use during the day, our 6 1/2 month old stays drier and can get through the night without soaking through. Maybe give that a try?

K.

K.,
That happened with me too. I used LUVS and I went up a size. The bigger sizes hold more. If that still doesn't work try HUGGIES Overnights size 3. They work wonders. Good luck!!!

Hi K.. i had a similar problem with my daughter and what i found that works are diaper doublers. They look like a maxi pad. They are about $3-$4 and they work great. they are so absorbant. I put one in her diaper at night and she goes till the morning with no wetness and she sleeps almost 12 hours! I buy them in Stop & Shop. That is the only place i have seen them. Hope this helps.

My son had the same problem. He would drink tons and pea like crazy at night. The best thing that we ever used is Huggies Overnights. These are super absorbant diapers that will last most of the night. We even went through a time when I would change him before I went to bed at night into this diaper. Most nights he didn't pea through. We're still using them. They do make a huge difference, even though he has a 5 pd diaper in the morning. Try Huggies Overnights.
