Seven Month Old Waking up Wet

We used huggies overnites with my daughter. They were the only thing that worked. They are cheapest at Target (I don't/won't shop at Walmart). You can also find diaper inserts called Diaper Doublers at Toys R Us or Babies R Us. We were at Toys R Us yesterday and I saw the diaper doublers there for $2.99. The huggies overnights run around $10 for a month's worth.
Good luck!

Restrict her liquid intake before bedtime. Otherwise, I don't see what the problem is because this is not unususal for a 7 month old. It's part of the package. You go through a lot of diapers. Is there a diaper out there that is extra absorbant?

try pampers swaddlers, they are more absorbant than regular pampers. or you can try a nighttime diaper (not sure if they make them for the smaller babies though). you could also have her sleep on a lap pad, at least you won't have to change sheets all the time. good luck!

Sorry to hear about your concern. I have always sworn by Huggies Overnights. They have a thicker middle layer in them and seem to hold a lot more than other brands. In addition, at night I always go one size up in diapers. They may be a little big, but you just pull them up higher around the middle of their body and pull the tabs in a little closer to secure it more snug around their middle. But, again, Huggies overnights rock! I can find them at Target and Meijer. But it seems when they hit the shelves they are gone, so don't give up in the search to find them!! I have always been a loyal Pampers fan, because that has worked with my two children, but when it came to this problem with my kids, the Huggies overnights made a world of difference! Best of Luck and don't worry, you are not alone in this problem. My two did it around the same time of age and it did not seem to last long. :)

Keep trying with the different brands. I found LUVS to work really well. Another suggestion is maybe plastic pants. You know the kind that was used with cloth diapers.

It is great that she sleeps that length of time! You are very fortunate. I guess along with that, comes the downside of trying to find something to keep her dry.

Hope this helps.

It is always a balance between work and family. Sounds like you have the best of both worlds. As adults we do need that adult time and keep our brains stimulated.

HUGGIES OVERNIGHT DIAPERS!!!!

They are the best diaper.....If you need size 3 you can only buy them at babies r us or toys r us...

if she can wear a size 4 you can get them several places target CVS rite aid meijers..

My daughter was a heavy nighttime wetter and she wore huggies overnights from about 12 months..

they are worth the extra money... and you only use 1 per night so it is really not that much more expensive.

Hi K.,
We had the same problem with our son. We put him in the next size up of Huggies Overnites (he wears a 4 diaper, but 5 overnite) and have had terrific success with them. I also babysat for a family that had great success with diaper doublers (like a maxi pad that goes right in the diaper).
Good luck! J.

I am using the next size up with my guy at night for the same reason. Also, we make sure that the tape is at the top of the diaper so it cannot fold down.

I would suggest using Huggies Overnight diapers. My babies sleep 12 hours at night and they never leak when wearing these diapers. They have been a life saver!

I never tried the diaper doublers. That sounds like a great idea. What I did with my little ones, was I got to a point where I needed to do a quick change before I went to bed at night (around 11/12). I left the lights off and skipped the wipes and just did a quick change. That usually did the trick and my kids were so tired at that time that if they did wake it was briefly and they went right back to sleep when i was done. This worked as it seems like the bulk of the urine was accumulated in the first few hours after they went to sleep.

Hi K.,
We also ussed Pampers in the beginning afte rour daughter was born and had the same problem. Only she moved around so much in her sleep that she sometimes wiggled out of them, no matter how well we thought we fastened them. We switched to Huggies ( I stocked up on both after learning I was pregnant) and have used Huggies ever since. She will also sleep 12-13 hours/night and only had one accident, but that was only because she figured out how to undo the diaper and was pulling it apart in her sleep. Now when she wears nightgowns to bed, I put on one of her diaper covers that are usually used for her dresses and she doesn't bother the diaper and still wakes up dry after a long nights sleep. I also heard that Pampers are better for boys and Huggies for girls, not sure why that is, but I have no complaints after 19 months. Good luck!

Same problems with my kids. When they started to wake up wet I just knew they needed to go up a size. That's always worked for me. I never go by the weight suggestions on the side of the diaper package. They never seem to be right. However, I might have to try these huggies over night now! They seem to be working well for the other moms!

K.,
Diaper Doublers as the other moms have suggested. They are
a life saver. Babies R Us or Toy R Us have them.

L.

diaper doublers, they are kind of like a maxi pad that you put in the diaper. they sale them at babies r us and they are like $3 for a pack of 30. my daughter does the same thing, but we use the huggies overnight diapers and then my girlfriend told me about the diaper doublers, she uses them for her son, so i'm going to try them after we use up the overnight diapers and they are a lot cheaper too. hope this helps!!!!

Why don't you change her during the night. Sleeping that long, she's bound to be very wet.

Looks like I might switch to Huggies. My little guy is 3.5 months old. His diapers don't leak normally. They did once and that is all it took, so I change him in the middle of the night. This might be a better alternative so I don't disturb him at night... He doesn't wake up when I change him, but you can tell I'm bothering him.

Same thing happened to my son...you need to go up a size! My son was using Stage 3 Huggies and I just moved him to a Stage 4 Pampers and hasn't had the problem since.

Gook Luck!

use a bigger diaper at night, but stick to the 3's during the day if they still work (they're cheaper). we have to do the same thing. without fail, if we forget and use a 3 at night, she wakes with leaks!

It might be time to move up a diaper size especially at night. I would use a thicker diaper at night for sure. Try huggies overnight size 4. We have never had a leak with these unless my son needs to go up a size.

Good luck! :)

HA I just realized you already did that. Sorry :)

I have boys, but I bought maxi pads from the dollar store and put one in the diaper at night when they went to bed. It gave enough added absorbancy that we didn't have to change sheets every morning anymore!

Not to sound like a salesperson, but the only diaper brand I DID NOT have leak problems with was Huggies. Luvs and Pampers always leaked with both my kids. Huggies are more expensive, so if that's an issue you could try Huggies at night and the less expensive brands during the day.
I hate to suggest trying anything else, because it sounds like she's a great sleeper. No fun having to change sheets all the time though! Good luck!

We started having the same problem, only our daughter was about 12 months (now almost 18 months).
We switched to the Huggies Overnights. They were a bit big on her, but we hicked them up and velcroed them tight. They hold an AMAZING amount.
Depending on how much your daughter weighs, you might be able to get away with them.

Try putting her in size 4s at night. We had the same problem and switched to 4s at night. It worked!

My daughters all prefer Huggies.

Huggies overnites are the best!!! I only found them at target though. we had the same problem and that was the only one that worked.

My son had that problem when he was about that age and we ended up double diapering him. put one over the other. Then the bed stayed dry. I always used huggies. but that was 15 years ago! Good Luck!

I had the same problem - we put on huggies overnights (purple package) and it stopped for sometime. Then we had to start changing her right before we went to bed to make sure she did not leak. Now the majority of nights are dry - love the huggies overnights - they sell them at walmart, babies r us not sure where else

good luck

I used Huggies Overnights on my son, too, which worked pretty well. You can get them at Diapers.com as well as Target (I, also, won't shop at Walmart!). As far as the diaper doublers, I've heard that tucking a super-maxi pad in the diaper works. Haven't tried it, but that's what I've heard.

I use cloth but perhaps my advice can help - with a cloth when they get to the point of leaking at night you use a diaper doubler. I tend to use a smaller diaper like one of the infant ones... if you used a small cloth diaper or a thick wash cloth I think you would have great results.

Hi - try the next bigger size of diaper on her. It worked for us.

I am a big fan of Target diapers too - but the same thing was happening with us. So I started using Huggies Overnights just a bedtime and they have worked wonderfully. No more wet mornings! Good luck.

I had the same problem with my daughter (she is 2) and still do. What I use to do is buy the next size diaper for bedtime and found LUVS to work best. She was still wetting through every once in a while as she got older, but now they have came up with HUGGIES NIGHTTIME diapers - NEVER WETS THE BED NOW!!! Love them!!!! The other option that my sister-in-law told me about when I had my son is to cut a maxi pad in half and put it right in the spot that needs more absorbency.

You may want to try another brand for bedtime only and put rubber pants on after. It will keep from getting all over. would she wake up if you went in the middle of the night to change her. THe other thing is to be conscieous of the last time you gave her something to drink. Stop about 2 hours before bedtime and make sure she is dry then.

Hi K.,

We found that the Walmart (White Cloud) brand worked the best for us. We are in the process of night training now. She done well for a bit now seems to wet again. It is all a process for sure!

Good luck, M. H.

HI K.,

A little trick I used for my daughter was to double diaper her.

When you put on the first one, tear away the plastic outer layer. ( Not the whole diaper, but the necessary are for girls or more in the front for boys) Then put on a second one.

This should take care of the problem. Two diapers are way cheaper than all the laundry and hassle.

Good luck,

C.

I would try using a size larger (size 4) for nighttime. They are bigger, provide more coverage and will hold more pee.

My daughter had/has the same problem. We started putting her in one size bigger diaper at night and it seems to help. Good Luck!

Try going up a size in diapers for nighttime.

I had a similar problem with my son. We went up a size in Pampers diapers and this seems to have worked! Good luck.

We use the target diapers too. When that started happening to my daughter we went up a size and it solved the problem. The 4s really aren't that much bigger IMO, but it seemed to do the trick!

Good luck!

Try putting a bigger diaper on her just at night, or put vinyl underwear on over her diaper.

I had this problem with my now 3 yr old. She is just a heavy sleeper and wetter. After weeks of trying to figure it out -- I asked the Dr, and she suggested we go a size bigger in the diaper at night time. Since they aren't ask active, moving around and such -- the extra absorbancy was just what we needed!! She woke up dry after that!
Since you'll be heading to the next size eventually anyway -- there isn't a waste in trying it!

Good luck!!

Huggies Overnights! I promise, they'll work!!

I would try moving her up to size 4 for nighttime, unless they are way too big. My daughters did the same thing and changing the brand of diaper didn't help, none of that size would hold enough.
Hope it works for you.

I have been using Huggies Overnites on my son. He is 2, but was waking up wet as well. They work really well. Good luck.

If you know that she is waking up like that, I know you are just geting used to being able to sleep through the night but you will have to get up and change her in the middle of the night. She is what is called a heavy wetter. If you don;t want to have to keep changing the sheets every morning you have to get and and change her.

I had the same problem with my daughter. We double diapered her each night. We would put a size 2 and 3 on her (she wore a 2) and it worked like a charm. We have always used Pampers baby dry because they fit her the best, but any would probably work for you.

i had that problem with my daughter. at babies r us, they have diper liners (they look alot like maxi pads) but they stopped her from soaking. other than that, she is now 27 months, i watch how much she drinks from dinner time on and limit the amounts she gets. i haven't had any problems in months!!!

We used huggies overnight diapers on my son at bedtime. They are a little more expensive than regular diapers but they last a long time because you will only be using them at night. They work great! good luck! :)

I see it has already been mentioned, but even though I did not have this problem, I have heard great things from friends of mine about those Diaper Doublers. Give them a try!

That happened to us too. We put two inserts in her fuzzi bunz but they would still leak. So, she just wears disposables at night. I know you said you tried that already... Maybe try another brand/type...

We had the same problem and like many others went with Huggies overnights. They seem to work really well, in fact we still use them and our son's almost 2!! You should give them a try.

I had the same problem, and my sister suggested nighttime diapers. I think they're Huggies, but they specifically say Nighttime on them. I've found them cheapest at Wal-Mart, and watch for Huggies coupons. They're a little more expensive, but totally worth it, especially since you only use one a day. Hope this helps!

Try a bigger size diaper. My daughter wears size 4 during the day and size 5 at night. Any time we put her in a 4 for night, it leaks all over her belly, too. We use Pampers Cruisers. Good luck!

I had the same problem and I tried night diapers, going up a size in the diaper at night, and diaper doublers. We are still using diaper doublers every night and if it gets forgotten my daughter wakes up wet....other wise with the diaper doubler she just has a VERY heaver diaper in the a.m. I bought mine at Babies R Us....they are by the diapers and they cost $2.99 for 30 of them....so they are not badly priced. Good luck! I know what its like to have to change a wet bed and give a bath every morning bc they are covered in pee!

One word - Huggies!

Our little girl was a leaker as well. I tried everything with her and those were the only ones that didn't leak. Good luck!

I had the same problem with my son. Huggies Overnights in the purple package. They work like a charm.
