Well, just tried Huggies Overnight last night! They were definitely better than the Pampers Baby Dry, but still didn't work. So now I'm thinking I'll try the Pampers Extra Protection and if those don't work, it'll be time to invest in some inserts!
-
@Adira: Dang. Does he drink a lot of liquids before bedtime? I tried some new overnights on L this weekend and when I got her up in the morning even her SOCKS were soaked (footie pjs + socks).
I'm starting to lose it!
-
@swurlygurl: I didn't think he drank a LOT, but it kind of seems like he stores up all his liquids to pee out overnight or something, haha. He had a full diaper before his bath last night and then didn't drink any liquids after that, but still woke up wet this morning! It leaks out the top and his belly is wet.
We had that same issue when we sized up in the Pampers Baby Dry diapers. It leaked out the leg and his entire legs and feet in his footie pjs were soaked. So gross.
-
@Adira: We are having the same issue too. I have to wash his crib sheets multiple times a week! Please let me know if you find a brand that works for Xander!
-
@QueensBee: Darn belly sleepers! Maybe tonight I'll try the Huggies Overnight backwards, since I don't have any of the new Pampers yet... maybe that will work...
-
@Adira: I think L holds it all evening too. Daycare changes her diaper at 3ish, and it's still pretty much dry when I put her to bed at 7. And she drinks a LOT. I might try getting her to use the toilet before bed or something... Not really potty training, just trying to get her to stop holding it!
-
@Adira: We sized up in the Pampers Extra Protection when he started to leak out. I also make the diaper as tight as I can since he also doesn't come close to meeting the minimum size for the size up. Haven't had a problem since!
-
@swurlygurl: Ugh, good luck. Xander's no where close to using the toilet, and considering how wet his before-bath diaper was, I don't even know if it would help!
-
@2PeasinaPod: Oh, interesting! Maybe I'll have to try the Pampers Baby Dry in the size up again, but maybe I didn't get it tight enough last time. Guess I'll just have to keep experimenting until I find something that works!
-
@Adira: We don't have a boy, but my LO soaks through her diaper EVERY night and it's exhausting changing sheets every day! She has like 900 pairs of pajamas just because she can only wear a set once before they're washing-machine bound. We used to use Pampers her whole life, and we've tried the overnight ones as well as the Huggies overnights. The Huggies overnight did better but still sometimes leak, and they have leaked when she's wearing them and just happened to pee a bunch all at once...Anyway, I ended up ordering 7th Generation Overnight Diapers on Amazon after reading reviews and decided to give them a try and I LOVE them. They have not leaked even once! And her diaper is not as gross in the morning? Like 500 lbs and sopping wet...Whatever is in those things just absorbs pee like crazy and it is so much nicer than Pampers or Huggies and I'm sold and switching over:)
-
@Adira: I have a belly sleeper too!
-
@PrincessBaby: 7th Gen, okay! Adding that to my list of diapers to try!! Thanks!
-
@Adira: Not the Pampers Baby Dry, the Extra Protection. They are Pamper's version of overnight diapers. LO sleeps on his stomach a lot and so he's usually overflowing out of the top of his diaper in the front. The Extra Protection have zones that are different than the Baby Dry when they're standing up and walking around that help to absorb better. We size up in the Extra Protection overnight diapers and that did the trick.
-
@2PeasinaPod: No, yeah, I knew what you meant. It's just that I already HAVE a size up in the Baby Dry, so I might as well try them again while I wait for my order of the Extra Protection to arrive!
-
@Adira: R sleeps on her belly too. We always make sure that the part in the front is higher then the back. I think it helps too.
-
@Smurfette: I don't think I'm very good at doing that - I'll double-check that tonight!
-
@Adira: did you size up for your Huggies overnites?
-
@Mrs. Confetti: I didn't because when I sized up in the Pampers Baby Dry, they were WAY too big (although maybe I just didn't get them tight enough). The size 4s say they are for 22 - 37 lbs and Xander's less than 25 lbs, so I thought that size would be fine (he actually still wears size 3s during the day).
-
I'm reporting back after much experimentation!
Huggies Overnites, when actually put on tight enough (oops), resulted in NO LEAKS for three nights straight!! Then I switched to Pampers Extra Dry to try them out since I had them, and again, when put on tight enough, also NO LEAKS for three nights straight!!
Thank you everyone for all your wonderful advice!!!
-
@Adira: Yay! That's great you found something that works!!
For the record, and I'm clearly late to the game, we use two diapers (one right on top of the other) and never have nighttime leaks that way. We had a ton of problems before.
-
@ValentineMommy: I've actually thought of doing that too, but just hadn't gotten that far in my experiments yet!!
-
@Adira: If he starts leaking again, give it a shot. We use the same size, one right on top of the other.
-
@ValentineMommy: Interesting! I'll definitely keep that in mind, thanks!
I'm starting to lose it!
