Saturated Diaper

Hi all. I've been pretty happy with Pampers with my 14 month old. But occasionally - and way more frequently lately - she has been waking up with a very wet diaper. So much so that her jammies, her blankie, the sheet....everything is wet...all the way down to the mattress pad/cover. She's technically in the right size diaper for her weight but I'm wondering if I should go up a size to see if it's more absorbent before trying another brand entirely. I just really didn't like the fit of Huggies or a couple of the other more natural brands I tried when she was smaller. She eats dinner and might take some water from her sippy cup around 6:30 and then I nurse her before bed at 8 pm. I'm not producing that much milk and she doesn't stay long before pulling herself off to go to sleep so I didn't think it was too much liquid too close to bedtime but I'm playing with that. Any thoughts? Similar experiences?

What can I do next?

Try the Pampers Extra Protection diapers-their version of a nighttime diaper. My daughter started waking up soaked around that age as well, so we use the Extra Protection diapers at night and they work perfectly. Good luck!

Have you tried the special nighttime pampers? Sometimes going up a size causes gaps. My son went through phases like that. I would try the nighttime diapers (not the pull-ups, don't want to confuse you, sorry.) Hopefully that will help.

My son was a super soaker too.
We used night times....and diaper doublers. They're kind of like maxi pads that line the diapers for more absorbancy and are sold in the diaper aisle. They really helped.

Best wishes.

yep try the next size up but i remember i had to switch to Huggies diapers b/c of the same thing but stuck with pampers wipes.

What I did was check them right before I went to bed, after they had been asleep 2 or 3 hours. If the diaper was wet, I'd just give them a quick change right there in the bed. Mine were pretty good sleepers once they finally fell asleep, so even if it did disturb them, they went back to sleep pretty easily.
I hadn't heard about diaper doublers back then, but they sound good!
I wouldn't change brands--Huggies were horrible for me. I liked Pampers best.
And as for size, if the diaper is too big, the wetness just runs out the gaps before it can absorb, so only move up a size if it will still fit right.
Good luck!

Huggies Overnights are awesome! I think Pampers now makes a night diaper. You may even try a larger size of diaper. My boys never really fit the diapers that they were suppost to for their weight.
My boys used Huggies Overnights for most of their pre-potty trained lives. I wouldn't worry about limiting liquids. She is to young to do that.

God bless!
