Diapers Leak When My Son Sleeps

My 6 month old son sleeps between 10 and 12 hours a night. He always rolls over on his tummy to sleep. More often than not, when he wakes up in the morning, his diaper has overflowed at the top (by his belly button). Someone mentioned using diaper liners in his diaper at night. Does anyone have any recommendations? We use Huggies Baby Fit diapers. They work wonderfully otherwise... just the nighttime is an issue. Any advice would be appreciated!

What can I do next?

Thank you so much for all of your advice! We are using the Diaper Doublers and they work really well!

We bought these liners called Diaper Doublers for my son's Huggies and they seem to be working but they are really strange and hard to get positioned correctly in his diaper. However, that is much easier than changing the sheets every day! I believe we got them at Wal-Mart.

I agree with Jenny. I used Huggies and the worked perfect with my daughter. I tried them when I had my son---leaked everywhere. So I figure I will use Huggies for girls and Pampers for boys.

I agree with the other L. down below. Huggies Overnights are awesome. They work great for my daughter.

My son had pretty long legs and he leaked too. But we switched him one size bigger and it stopped leaking. Of course he's 3 now and still in training pants but it helped to get 1 size bigger.

I had the same problem with my son and my girlfriend told me to try Huggies Overnites. They solved our problem.

Good Luck!

I had the same problem with huggies at night. So I switched to Pampers swaddlers. Problem solved . They seem to absorb so much better. Once my daughter got to a size 3, we switched to the Costco brand. They work just as good and are almost half the price. But they only sell size 3 and above. Hope this helps.

Huggies makes diapers called overnights that work good too but my sister-in-law had the same problem and she just got accustomed to laying towels underneath the sheets so he doesn't soak everything all the way through.

With my daughter I used Pampers Swaddlers because she was a curvy little child so it kept her nice and snug without any room to have saggage around the top. As well I would change my daughter in the middle of the night so it gave me a better chance but I was lucky because I could change her without waking her up.

Good Luck!

I had the same problem with Huggies for overnight. I now buy Pampers Baby Dry. They work sooooo much better. They are a little bit more expensive, but well worth the money. Plus, they have a rewards program where you can get toys and books by redeeming points located on the inside of the package. You can go to www.pampers.com to redeem them. Also, Luvs work really well too, and a lot less expensive, but the sides don't stretch at all whereas the Pampers do. I fold over the top of the diaper a little bit too. Hope this helps!
