Anyone with Experience with This- a Baby Who Is VERY Sensitive to Wet Diapers?!

Maybe it is not the wetness that wakes her... but the sensation of peeing... that wakes her. And s he is a light sleeper maybe. So WHEN she pees, it wakes her.

DOES the wetness bother her, when she is awake????
If not, it is NOT the wetness that bothers her.
And it is most likely the feeling of peeing... that wakes her when she is sleeping.
And as you said, she also hates nighttime diaper changes and that wakes her too.

What else, wakes her, when she is sleeping or napping?

And when she is awake and pees... do you ALSO have to change her diaper so quickly & frequently because of her fussing about it?

Disposable diapers, have less of a "wet" feeling to it.

And, when she does wake... because she pees... is she UPSET or just fussing a little bit?
Have you tried, to just hold off on immediately changing her "wet" diaper and see if she will go back to sleep?
Nighttime diapers can hold a lot.

I agree with the others, it's a cycle of nursing and peeing. One is going to make the other more frequent, so if you want more sleep you are going to have to stop the night nursing. I did extended nursing with my son as well, but he stopped nursing at night when he no longer needed it for nutrition and it became just a comfort thing, it was an easy transition to cut the nursing out and just have a bit of a cuddle to calm him down if he woke up in the middle of the night, and was probably more traumatic for me than him. It's your decision, but since it sounds like you've tried every possible diapering option with no results I think cutting down the amount of liquids she gets at night is pretty much your only option. I doubt it's the actual act of peeing, some kids are just super sensitive to the feeling of wetness. On the bright side, it should make potty training easier when she is ready, my son has never minded being wet so there wasn't a huge incentive for him to try to stay dry when we started with the potty training.

IMO, you can night nurse at 11 mo if you still want to. Maybe check her diapers during the night feeds. What diapers do you use? We used Baby Dry from Pampers, which seemed to hold more for DD.

I wouldn't expect potty training for a child under 1 to be successful, but you can try. I do think she'll train early at this rate.

Is it the act of peeing or the pee on her skin? What if you used a barrier cream?

Time to potty train? You could try elimination communication with her.

You need to night wean. At 11 month she doesn't need to night nurse.

I agree with Victoria. Have you had her checked for a UTI or bladder infection? It is possible since you are using cloth diapers. I know you probably change her as soon as she goes, but it's still possible that she has a urinary problem.

Also, if she is to the point where she is holding it for 4 hours, you might want to consider starting to potty train. That may help her sleep issues too.

Maybe use cloth at night also but put a hemp liner in. Maybe that will pull enough moisture from her skin.

I think you need to find a different way to get her back to sleep. Nursing is just going to cause her to need to pee again. Stop giving milk at night and she probably won't pee as often.

I would do some research into potty training very young toddlers. You may be able to train her within the next few months. That doesn't guarantee she'll be night trained, but it will definitely be a step in the right direction.

Have you tried other brands of diapers? Maybe something more absorbent so she doesn't feel the wetness?

How about disposable diapers when she sleeps, the kind that are super absorbent?

If I were you, I would sit her on the potty to "catch" the urine after each breast feeding. This is NOT potty training. This is just helping her not get wet.

I don't know what you can do about night time, except stop nursing her during the night. I'm sorry, but you do NOT need to do the night nursing. SHE doesn't need the night nursing. This is just a way to soothe her. She needs to learn to self-soothe and you're preventing her from doing that by nursing her in the middle of the night.

Are the doctors sure it's not painful for her to pee. It sounds like if the act of peeing wakes her, than maybe it's something internal. My boys are 2 and are still oblivious to the fact that they are peeing, even when I know they are going. My son use to have bad diaper rash and my mom told me to put Vasoline on it. I didn't give it much thought, because my mom is a put Vasoline on everything to make it better kind of mom, but it worked. I think the pee just slid off his butt and got absorbed by the diaper quickly. Try a good thick coat of Vasoline and see if limiting some of the contact of the pee to her skin might help.
