Diaper Overflows
On several occasions in the past week, my daughter has woken up with wet pajamas because she overflowed her diaper. She is right in the middle of the weight range for the diapers she is in (size 4). Should I just go up a size at night, or is there some other "trick" I can try? We hope to start potty training soon but I still need to figure this out so the poor little thing isn't all wet in the mornings! Thanks!

Try the night time diapers. I never used them with my oldest and she woke up wet quite a bit. Then with my youngest someone suggested them and low and behold they actually work! :-) He still wakes up wet every once in a while but not every day like it used to be.

This was happening to my daughter aswell and she was within the weight range for size 4 , I chose to go up to size 5 and this no longer happens , but you could also try an overnight diaper as they are designed to hold more.

I would go up a size. I would also make sure she definitely has gone right before bed or that she doesn't have fluids a couple hours before bed. Right before we started potty training our daughter we had a similar issue...it actually was one of the reasons we started to really try to potty train at that point. good luck. :)

Pampers make overnight protection and works wonders for my daughter. Check their website too, they offer $2 off coupons too.

This started happening to my son at about 9 months. I switched to overnight diapers which was still not enough and then started to use two which was getting a bit expensive. One of my friends suggested using a maxi pad which she used for her daughter. Basically, my son sleep on his tummy so he was leaking in the front, top. At the top of the diaper across the front I stick an overnight maxi pad so it goes side to side. It does the trick. Not sure where your dauther is leaking but like I said my friend used it with her daughter. And, it is a lot cheaper!

I have bought the special night diapers and it worked at times. I went up a size and it works better. I've always had problem with Huggies and Pampers so I swithched to Luvs which works much better. Also, if your a Sam's Club member, their Members Mark brand works really well. Just go up one size and it should be all good.

Our solution was to switch to Huggies Overnights AND to go up a size for those. worked like a charm!
