Leaky Diapers - Hudson,WI

Huggies overnights are worth every penny; we used them with my son and they were the only thing that would work through 12 hrs of sleeping!!! Good luck!

My son had the same problem, he is starting to grow out of that now and he is 20 months old. I use the huggies overnights, but my pediatrition just suggested to me to double up his diapers. Put a smaller one on first and then a size or two bigger over that. I haven't had to do that since he is outgrowing that, but it's worth a shot. Good luck.

I think boys just leak more due to biology if you know what I mean. It's a hassle. I've used nighttime diapers on all 3 of my boys and they seem to hold more than the regular ones. You can try to give him his bottle earlier in the evening so he won't have the need to expel so much liquid in the night.

OK- I have the fix for you!!! Get a Cost-Co membership!!! Their "store" brand (Kirkland) diapers are by far better than all the rest. Just to make it clearer...here is a ture story.....I've used these diapers from size 1-5 for both my kids. My neighbor (8th grade girl) was during a science experiment for her science class and she asked everyone in the neighborhood w/ babies the same age (she needed the same size diaper) if she could have a size 3 diaper from all of us. They were testing all the different brands of diapers to see the absorbancy on each. Kirland was bay far the winner....second place was Pampers. The Kirkland diaper help 10 times (Yes...10 x!) the amount of liquid compared to the Papmers. Huggies came in third and Luvs was a very far behind at 4th. It is worth the membership and you'll never use another diaper!!

hey....
try luvs.... i have NEVER had a problem with those.....
my daughter is a 12 hr sleeper and is addicted to the nighttime sippy cup (water) never leaked.....

We have used Huggies Overnights for our son and it has helped. We still have night he leaks through though.

Good luck!

Huggies Overnights are the best overnight diaper out there. A sleep consultant also confirmed that when I asked. She also suggested using 2 diapers over one another to help leaks at night... I've never done that because I think it would be uncomfortable and bulky, but it's a suggestion she gave me.
Good Luck!

We use cloth diapers and double them up at night to prevent our son from wetting through. You may want to try using
g-diapers liners as a doubler in the 7th generation diaper. I haven't tried it, but it might work. Good Luck.

Huggies Overnites are awesome! I think we used them somewhere around the same age for our daughter and they worked like a charm. Good luck!

I've had good luck with Huggies Overnites.

Another thing you could try would be adding a maxipad to the inside of his diaper.

Try the Huggies nighttime diapers! They worked great for both my girls.

Yes, HUggies has nighttime diapers, and they work great! I have to ask - is he a breastmilk or formula baby? Have you tried decreasing the amount he takes in in the evening? That might prevent a bit of nightime wetness. otherwise I might suggest going to a hemp diaper with a doubler to try. It could never hurt.

Huggies Overnighters are great!

I had the same problem from very early on. Both of my children would be soaked through by morning then I switched to the Huggies Nightime and it was a Godsend. I would definitely try those, they worked for me and I have recommended it to others as well. Good Luck.

My son has the same thing going on I use the huggies night time diappers they actually work. Well they might leak on occation but most the time they don't. I just use the same size that I use during the day. Hope this helps.

I second the Huggies nighttime diapers - I can almost guarantee that's the solution to your problem.

Huggies supreme's are what we use at night. They work wonders, but aren't very enviro friendly.

Yes! The Huggies nighttime diapers work great.

I used the Huggies nighttime diapers with my first child and they worked great. Another thing you could try is putting a vinal/plastic training pant cover over the diaper as that might keep him from being soaked in the morning. Good luck.

My two boys (3 and 21 month) can only wear Luvs at night to avoid leakage. During the day, as you mentioned, its not a problem but if they don't wear Luvs they need baths and bedding changes in the morning. I have tried every brand on the market, would prefer more eco friendly diapers, and continue to go back to the tried and true. My youngest actually seems to be more prone to diaper rashes when I use other diapers. Good luck!

We had the same issue with diapers leaking at night but not during the day. LOVE the Huggies Nighttime diapers. They go up to a Size 6, so hopefully there will be something that will work for your little guy. No more waking up to soaked pajamas and soaked sheets after we started using these at night.

Huggies Overnights!

And most diapers do go to size6

We use th eHuggies nighttime and i LOOOOOOOOOVE them she dosn't leak you can find them in up to size 6 at walmart and babies r us. target and cub sell up to 5 but not 6. My daughter also has extra sensitive skin and we have had no problems with them she also has always been in a much bigger size than normal because no matter how often i change her she is in a size 6 and is only 1 1/2 years old but has been in them forever. My friend has a daughter same age and size and she is only in a size 3 or 4 so i feel you buy the huggies night time they are great!!!!

I'm afraid this isn't very helpful, but the nighttime Huggies don't seem to be any different from the daytime Huggies. I've also had this problem with my son, he pees through his diaper every night (it's been about 2 months of this and it's at least 4 times a week). He wears Huggies during the day and I tried their nighttime diapers but they seemed to be exactly the same. I also looked for other brands that made a nighttime diaper but couldn't find any so I've resorted to frequent bathing ;-)... I'll be checking out your other responses--hopefully someone else has more encouraging news than I do!! Good luck!

Huggies are definetly the best!! Try the overnights and if that doesn't solve the problem, double diaper. Use a smaller/fitted huggie overnight with a larger cheaper diaper on the outside. A friend of mine had to do that and she would even change him in the night while he was sleeping sometimes. He's potty training now and stays dry at night, so theres a light at the end of the tunnel. :)

Another vote for Huggies Overnights. They are amazing.

I used the Huggies nighttime for my daughter and loved them. They were the only thing that kept her from being soaked at night. Especially when she got bigger and became a big water drinker!

HTH

Go with the Huggies overnights. That is what we did and no more night time leaks.

All four of my children had to wear the Overnight Huggies and they worked for us! The other brands we tried just didn't absorb as much and my kids would wake up soaked. With the overnights we didn't have the leaking problems. K.

try doubling up the diapers

Hello, Yes I have used the Huggies nighttime diapers for my oldest son who was on medication taht increased his need to urinate and they were the only diapers that worked for me. Good luck.

I think when you go too big, diapers start to leak. At least thats what I noticed with my son. Some of his diapers are too big so they leak a lot sooner than the diapers that fit better. I'd try a size 4 and see how that works. My 15 month old is comfortably in a 3 (sometimes he can wear a 2!).

This may seem silly, but is his diaper "full"? I'm wondering if he's leaking because his diaper can't hold anymore or because there are gaps at the legs or back. Size 5 seems really big for a 10 month old. My youngest is 13 mo and in a size 1 Luvs and they work great. Good luck to you.

I always have use Pampers, the only time I used Huggies she was leaking all over. Never have that problem with Pampers.

Limit his intake of fluids before bed. If you are worried about him getting hungry, he can always eat baby food before bed.

Hey C.,

Try the overnight diapers...They hold more pee!!! S.

We use the Huggie Overnites and they work great. They used to make liners you could put in the diapers that worked well, but I haven't seen them in the stores lately... I tried using the Poise pads and that worked pretty well- they are pricier, though. You could try a generic brand and see how that works. Just be sure to get the ones for heavier flow...

Huggies does make a nighttime...and the work great for my 2 boys. I never had a problem with my girls leaking thru at night...but both of my boys do.

Hi C.!
Huggies overnights work really well, we used those with our son. The other thing we found to work is it limit his liquid intake before bedtime. My sons bedtime is 8, so he knows no more liquids after 7. Hope this helps!

I have the same problem with my 17 month old. I unfortunatly had to go to pampers size 4 (shes usually in 3s and parents choice) and we havent had a leak yet (but its only been a couple days). I didnt want to go to Pampers because of price. You could try putting training pants over the diapers at night. I have heard that works good. Good Luck!

Huggies overnights worked well for us in size five. Good luck!

Hi! I have the same problem with my 13-month-old son. I understand your concerns about your son's skin sensitivity, but I switched to using Pampers Dry at night (typically one size larger than his daytime diapers), and that has worked really well for me. My son sleeps about 11-12 hours through, and he is now dry in the mornings. Good luck!

Huggies Nighttime Supreme brand is AWESOME!! I was having the same problem with my son around 10-13 months and did have to change him right before bedtime around 8:30 and then again around 2am, so I wouldn't be up changing his bedding and bathing him by morning. I heard about these nighttime diapers here on Mamasource and decided to try them. They are excelllent! Obviously, I only use them at night and use his regular diapers (pampers) during the day, so I only have to buy them every few weeks because they last a long time.

HTH,
A.

We had the same problems. My son wears Luvs size 3 during the day but Huggies Overnights size 4 at night and they work awesome. I just make sure that I change him into one right before bedtime and that it is on securely and centered and kind of up higher in the front. They are expensive but worth the full night's sleep for both of us.

I have used the Huggies overnight for my daughter (13 months) and they work great. She also wet through all the time, but with the huggies overnights (for the most part) she has not. There have been a couple instances where her onesie is a little wet, but not like before where her entire sleeper and sheets, blankie etc. were saturated. I think they would be worth a try!

My son had the same problem with the leaks. We ended up using Huggies Overnights. They fit like a regular diaper and seem to hold more. It was the only thing that worked. Have you tried changing him in his sleep? We were able to change our son without waking him by keeping very quiet and moving slowly. Good luck.

Hey C.!

We were doing the same, putting our daughter in larger diapers than she needed since the smaller ones were leaking. Although, right around 10 months we reallized that it was a little ridiculous that we had our little peanut in size 4 diapers. Another mom gave us the advice that the smaller diapers (the size they should actually be in) would not leak as much because it fits tighters around their little buns. It worked! We are now back down to a size 3. :) I guess it is always worth trying.

My DS has the same problem (he'll be a year next week yay!). I moved him to a size 4 Luvs during the day (love them) and at night he wears Night Time extra absorbancy Pullups, size 2T and they work great. It starts at 18 lbs and he's 23 lbs so I thought I'd give it a try. I absolutely love them! GL!!

My son is unable to be potty trained and nighttime diapers work wonders. They are going to be your best solution. Good Luck.

We also use 7th Generation diapers and they do leak after a while. So we started using Huggies Overnights at night and they work great. Try them; they should solve your problem.
