And we do a bonus potty trip right before lights out, after stories and snuggles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910854 Thu, 27 Feb 2020 13:57:33 +0000 MrsADS 2910854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@corduroy I have some of the diaper pads at home, we occasionally use them with my 21 month old, so I'll try that tonight and see if it helps. Hate changing wet sheets in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910853 Thu, 27 Feb 2020 13:54:47 +0000 Corduroy 2910853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: I don't have any recommendations but I'm in the same boat with my 4.5yo. We just switched to Goodnights but it didn't solve the issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910849 Thu, 27 Feb 2020 13:45:15 +0000 MrsADS 2910849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump! I ordered size XS Goodnites and unfortunately we're still having leaks! </p> <p>Should I size up? Or use one of those diaper pad inserters? </p> <p>FYI he's 38 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910387 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 19:53:48 +0000 MrsADS 2910387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys! Just ordered XS for him to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910385 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 19:41:45 +0000 MrsSRS 2910385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The store brand version at both Target and CVS are just as absorbent as GoodNites and less problematic for my kid with sensitive skin. Also cheaper!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910365 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 13:16:57 +0000 agold 2910365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 year old is usually 38 pounds and we get size XS for her in goodnights. I'm happy with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910364 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 13:14:02 +0000 Jess1483 2910364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: 37 lb, 41 inches, XS </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910362 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 12:47:19 +0000 jhd 2910362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have also had a good experience with the Target night time underwear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910361 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 12:40:55 +0000 bees_knees 2910361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsADS: DS2 is 39 lbs and 41” and wears an XS :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910357 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 11:04:19 +0000 MrsADS 2910357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Related question: would you get size XS or size S for a 4.5 yo who weighs about 37-38 lbs, about 43-44 inches tall? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910356 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 10:52:50 +0000 MrsADS 2910356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all! Sounds like it's time to make the switch. For some reason I thought he was too little for Goodnights/underjams, but it sounds like probably not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910355 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 10:48:29 +0000 KT326 2910355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Goodnites or Underjams. My oldest will be 8 next month and we still use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910354 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 10:47:41 +0000 bees_knees 2910354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the good nites rec! My 3 year old will soak through pull-ups every single time but has only leaked through good nites once ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910348 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 09:31:31 +0000 catgirl 2910348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is five, very tall, and relatively thin. We have used underjams since she was 4ish. She wakes up soaked 90% of the time but they very, very rarely leak. Maybe once a month or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910345 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 09:15:55 +0000 Jess1483 2910345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good nights worked for us when pull-ups got soaked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910343 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 08:49:33 +0000 MrsADS 2910343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 4.5 and still wakes up soaked. We're not ready to tackle nighttime potty training, and he's clearly not ready, so I'm not pushing it.</p> <p>He usually sleeps in a pull-up (size 4T-5T). He has been waking up with wet sheets a couple nights a week - I think the pull-up is getting a little small.</p> <p>Any recommendations at this point? Should we move to Underjams, or whatever they are called? Are they absorbent enough? He's very tall and skinny. </p>
