Diapers Leaking!!! - Romeoville,IL

I am very frustrated with nighttime leaky diapers!! My 8 month old daughter began leaking through her Pampers Cruisers last week at night so I purchased the Huggies Overnights in her size, we used them with my older daughter and thought they were great! Last night however, she leaked through the overnight diaper through her sleeper, sheet and pad onto her mattress. Any suggestions to avoid the leaking nighttime diaper? She is a very good sleeper and is in the diaper from about 7:30 p.m. until she wakes about 7:00 a.m. I know it is a long stretch but I would really like to make her more comfortable when she is sleeping. Thanks in advance!

We seemed to go through brief stages where leaking overnight (12 hours for us too!)...I just doubled up the diapers we had, layered the top one a little higher up...and if you have it a size larger on top, it made more sense to just buy a pack of the next size up rather than the overnights as these leaky times only lasted a week or so...

We had the same problem, and the all-time solution is....Diaper Doublers. You can find them at some toys-r-us stores, but mostly at the babies-r-us stores. THe Diaper Doubler looks just like a Maxi-pad, it's a liner that you place inside the diaper for extra padding to soak up the urine.

They saved our nights, and I hope they do for you too.

Oh ya and the best part is that a pack of 30 is only $3.00.

Hi M.,
I had the same problem with my little one, so I swiched to Huggies Overnights in a size bigger. So far it's been about a week with no leaky diapers-A.

Don't use the Cruisers at night (they're more for adjusting with the baby's constant movement; Baby Dry is likely more appropriate (and less expensive!). Also, you can go up a size and that may help.
