Toddler Diaper Overflow Overnight
Dear Moms- My 19mth old is consistently wetting through his diaper at night. We use pampers baby dry style diapers. He sleeps 12-12.5 hrs at night and in the morning the diaper is overflowing and his pjs are wet. Do you have any diaper suggestions to help him with overnight wetness? We still give him about 8 oz. of milk at night before bed. Many Thanks!

We use Huggies, which seem to work, but we also eliminated the before bed milk. Our doctor said at this age, they don't need to drink before bed. So our son gets 8oz sippy cups of milk at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So he is done with liquid intake by 6:30-7pm. That has eliminated the leaking.

he doesnt need a bottle before bed so try to wean him off of that.....stop all liquids by 7pm, you will want to get him used to that anyway so eventually when you start potty training he wont have night time accidents

We had the same problem. We cut out our son's bottle at 18 months. We switched to Huggies Overnights and even went up a size in diaper (at night only). We also started restricting his liquids after dinner. We let him have milk at dinner and then half a sippy cup of water spread throughout the evening. Eventually we were able to switch back to regular diapers at night by doing these things. Good luck!

Since I started using Huggies Overnights at night, my twins have never leaked or exploded again. They can still get very full, but it holds up under the pressure. Check the Sunday paper for coupons, too. I see them almost every week for $1.50 or $2.00 off.

When my son was that little I had that problem with Pampers too, I switched to Huggies and never had a problem after that.

I have a 23 month old boy and we had that problem, too. I switched to Huggies Natural Fit during the day and for nighttime, he uses Huggies Overnights. We rarely have a leaky diaper when we use the Overnight diapers as well. I also use these more absorbant diapers when we are in the car for 3-6 hour rides to see family. Hope this helps!

Have you tried going up a size in diapers? We buy the next bigger sized diaper just for night time. Also, your child probably does not 'need' the milk before bed. If this is a comfort thing, maybe start cutting back on the amount of ounces you give him to wean him off of it. Of course, don't forget to brush his teeth after the milk so that the teeth aren't bathed in sugar all night, promoting cavities.
