Question About Diapers
I am wondering if anyone can recommend a really good brand of diapers for me to put on a one year old during the night. We have always used the Walmart brand, but that doesn't seem to be cutting it anymore at night; my daughter has been waking up completely soaked. Thanks!!! -Jenny G.

I swear by Pamper's. For sizes 1&2 I used swaddlers and for sizes 3&up I use Cruisers. The regular Pampers Baby Dry didn't work as well for my twins. A dry one at night and they are usually dry in the morning, or at least their clothes aren't.

I used walmart and target brands when mine were little, but as they got older, I used Huggies on both of them. Pampers are ok, but if you're using white clouds then you're used to the stretchie waistline. I suggest huggies. I hated Luvs (they don't hold near as much as huggies).

I have found that the Kroger Grocery Store Brand (Comforts) work the best for my daughter. She has gone through with Wal-Mart brand and even with Pampers. If you have a Kroger in your area, give them a try. I get a box of 104 diapers(size 3) for $16.99. I think no matter how good the diaper, it is inevitable they will go through occassionally, but my daughter has only wet through with the Kroger diapers for me on 1 occassion and she had been asleep for almost 10 hours when it happened.

White Cloud is the brand I've been using on my son for about 6 months now and I think they work as well as the others. I perfer these over luvs. And they're cheap too! I save between $4.00-$6.00 on the box over buying the other name brands.
However if she is soaked at night I would suggest the Huggies overnights or other overnight diapers. Also try not giving her too many liquids an hour or so before bed.
Good luck

I used luvs with my son and pampers with my daughter. Huggies hava always leaked on me and my daughter always had a cheek hanging out of the huggies.

Hey J.,
I used White Cloud or the Dry Bottoms (which i do believe used to be the wal mart brand here). Never had a problem with them. However, just a suggestion. when you give the last cup or bottle for the night... fill it half way instead of a full cup. It helps completely. Now that my boys are potty trained, i cut off all liquids an hour before bed time. It gives them time to go use potty and get most out of their system. Good Luck!!

Hello,
I have a 22 month old and we have used luvs diapers and she hardly ever wakes up soaked. Even as she got older they still hold up well. They are not as expensive as some of the other brands. One thing you might try is going up a size in diaper. I know when Emma wakes up wet it usually means we need to go up a size and that seem to solve the problem. Hope this helps, C.

Get Diaper Doublers. It almost looks like a pad, but it's a cotton insert that you lay right in the diaper. It helps the absorbency on ANY brand of diaper (I've always used the cheap store brand at Sams Club) so it saves you a lot of money. My son was waking up every morning for the first few months soaked b/c his diaper had overflowed. Then I started using these, and it never happened again. I've only seen them at Babies R Us and at Publix (look by the diapers). I stopped using them when my son turned 2. They are a lifesaver!! Let me know if you try them!

Hi Jenny! I also use the Walmart brand on my daughter during the day but at night I use Huggies baby fit and one small package of those lasts over a month. I have tried EVERY diaper on the shelf to keep my daughter dry at night and Huggies baby fit is the only one that has been ok so far. Altough, lately I have been trying the new Huggies Natural flex and those seem to be holding up well too... I know that Huggies makes an over night diaper but I havent gotten the chance to try those yet. If none of those worked for you in the past, you might want to try the next size up from what she is wearing now. You can always send me a message if you ever have a question! ____@____.com

We use the Walmart brand too! but at night time, when you don't get to monitor the diapers as much, we have found that huggies does real well for boys. Now with our daughter, pampers seemed to work better. I don't know why there was such a difference but in any case, our absolute favorite huggies brand is Huggies Supreme. They can be a little pricey but one big pack usually lasts a little over a month.

I have had problems with that too. I use luvs and she doesn't do that anymore unless she has had a whole lot to drink. My oldest wears Pullups and the have night time ones those work good too, since you are still in diapers try luvs first and if they dont work I would say try huggies overnight. I havent but since the pullups work so well I think the diapers will too.

We use Huggies Supreme during the day and Huggies overnites at night. I know some people would say that they do not want to spend money on a separate pack of diapers just for nighttime, but honestly, one pack last one month, if you only use one at night. My daughter is prone to bad diaper burns (yes burns) and yeast rashes, and these diapers are the ones that have worked best for use when maintaining her "bottom health" ;). Hope this helps.

Seems like it's a lot of personal preference and how much your child goes at night. I've always had good luck with Pampers Baby-Dry, unless he has a drink just before bed. You can usually find coupons for a couple dollars off online, in newspaper, or you can sign up on their website which helps cut down the extra cost.

I always used Huggies Supreme for daytime. They are a little pricey but rarely ever had leakage problems. For my older son we used Huggies Overnights for sleeping(in purple package). He had trouble waking up with dry clothes if we used anything else. They never leaked.
Also, a trick I learned about helping diapers not leak, once you have them on the child and fastened in place, lift the babies legs and make sure you run your finger along the inside edges (near inside of legs and around their bottom) to straighten or pull out the little elastic rows. This pretty much prevented diaper leaks 100% for me once I learned that trick. My boys are 2 and 4 now so we are pretty close to being out of diaper days but I remember those days well!
