My 18 month old started regularly soaking through overnight diapers several months ago. He is already in the size 6, so I’ve tried adding a sposie diaper liner. It worked ok for a while but lately he’s been soaked through more mornings than not and I’m constantly washing crib sheet and sleep sacks.
We were using up&up (target) overnights, and when those ran out recently I bought huggies to see if that might help, but I think it’s actually worse.
What’s the next step? Is there a next step?

I’d consider asking the ped if it’s ok to limit liquids after a certain hour, assuming LO is gaining and eating/drinking well and has no other health issues.

Pampers Baby Dry with Sposies have worked well for us with both our boys. The Goodnites mentioned above are also good.

I would try under jams. I’ve had really good luck with those for my oldest.

@Ms. RV: @KT326: @misolee: @macintosh: Do those types hold more than pull ups? I always assumed they were similar to pull-ups in capacity.

@Jennibenni: yes! They are made for kids who still wet overnight. They are geared towards older kids with bigger bladders. My 7 year old still wets overnight and when he goes, it’s a lot.

We had this problem with my daughter - she was always a heavy overnight wetter but once we transitioned to 2 piece PJs, she would push the waist of her pants down and it caused all sorts of diaper fit problems. It was a phase we just have to live through. What ultimately helped the most is having her pee on the potty right before bed - even when we weren’t actually potty training. She was ok with it because her older sister had to do it too 
I know he’s super young, but maybe try that?

It has worked for us so far but we don’t have a heavy wetter. My understanding is that bc it’s for older kids, they should hold more?

@Jennibenni: I was in your same situation! Try the Goodnights. This is what I buy my daughter:
Totally a night time game changer. Good luck!

When my son outgrew his size 6 diapers, we starting using GoodNites in size Small. They hold A LOT of pee, they’re basically an overnight diaper for bigger/older kids. I don’t think they’re like pull ups at all.

Yes to all the above. Pull-ups are designed to hold less than diapers and overnight "underwear" are designed to hold more! Also, maybe warmer jammies or a sleep sack. Kids pee more at night of they are chilly. I thought it sounded nuts but tried it and it was true in our house. I like the CVS brand of overnight pull ups better than target or Goodnites.

@Jennibenni: This is my son
We stopped liquids 1.5 hrs before bed best we could
Huggies size 6 overnites on first
Then Size 6 target up ad up
Seems to work best then
Now he is 2.5 yrs old and goes potty potty in that same routine
