Night Time Diapers - Keokuk,IA
My one year old daughter wears Luvs (size 3) throughout the day and does fine but the last few nights she has peed up her tummy at night time. She sleeps on her tummy most of the time (with her butt in the air). Do you mommies have any recommendations on what diapers to use at night time to keep her dry?
THANKS!

Going up a size at night usually works. Otherwise try to reduce how much she drinks right before bed? Give her more, earlier in the evening?
And I wanted to warn about using a sanitary pad in a diaper - that was something recommended to us when we had the same issue and my daughter had a terrible reaction to it- sanitary pads are meant for adults and not made for the sensitive skin of a baby! She was horribly uncomfortable for a nearly a month before it finally cleared up! It took 3-4 days to show up and when it did she was in a lot of pain! So please do NOT use something that is meant for an adult on a baby!

With both of my kids, I used Luvs one size up from what they wear in the daytime and they have both been tummy sleepers. I have never had any problems doing that. Good Luck!

i discovered when the diaper starts to leak it might be time for a bigger diaper.

We use Pampers Night Time diapers in size bigger. And my son is a tummy sleeper too. Sometimes he does pee through once and awhile. But not usually. Goodluck.

I would really check the diaper during the day time too.. is it starting to look like a speedo on her? IF so, maybe its time to move up to the next size. Recently we were finishing up the last of our size 3's with my son and we discovered that we really needed 4's at night, even though 3's worked fine during the day. We moved up one size for night time (not an overnight diaper, just a regular one) and it worked out just fine to get us through the last few days worth of size 3's.

My son has had the exact same problem and is in the same size diaper as your daughter. and sleeps in that same position. huggies and pampers both make overnight diapers. but not in a size 3. (something that has always iritated me like they think smaller babies don't have problem soaking through) we have been using huggies overnight size four and they work pretty well. he has gone from soaking through everynight to only once or twice a month. if the huggies seem way to big fisherprice just came out with an overnight diaper that is a size 3, and to my knowledge they are the only ones who make that size

We use the Target Up&Up diapers on our daughter and she wears them day and night. We haven't had any problems with leaks. You could also just get a size bigger for at night, just make sure to they are tight at the tummy when you put them on. These are much cheaper than Huggies & Pampers
We had just gotten a sample of the Pampers diapers in the mail and my daughter had a nice wet belly after using them...
