Nappy leaking at night :(
-
24-08-2014 7:30am#1Every morning for the last 2 weeks my 7 month old has woke up wet
all the way through to his vest, babygrow and growbag.
I have tried lid, aldi, dunnes, in size 4 and even bought pampers baby 4+and he is still wet. All of the nappies are grand during the day. (And used to be grand at night)
He gets a 6oz bottle at 7pm and will sleep till 7am. If I change him in his sleep at say 10/11 he will be dry in the morning. (I don't want to do this).
Does anyone have suggestions ? Thanks a mil0

Which Pampers were you using? Baby-Dry are much better than ActiveFit for night-time use (I honestly don't think it's just a marketing ploy, in my experience!)
On a practical note, I use toddler bed mats (the Huggies ones) under his sheet, at least that way your mattress is protected if he soaks all the way through!
If nothing else works, would it be worth using those waterproof toddler pants ... at least then his you're containing it if it does soak throug the nappy? Not sure if they'd even work though, would probably be massive on him!0 -

The green pampers baby dry, we got them in tesco when the essential packs were BOGOF. In the morning the nappy is soooo heavy and the inside is yellow (with pee) because it is super soaking.
Ah ok, we'll of that's the case it just mustn't be absorbing enough. We had a couple of instances where it leaked through the sides so te actually nappy was not super wet... So it was us that that just hasn't out them on tight enough. We tried a smaller size then which fitted him better and that worked.
But if the nappy is super heavy I don't any others that have more absorption than the baby dry.
What weight is he?0 -

What weight is he?
I have no idea of his weight?
he was 20lbs at 4 months :eek: his weight and height were 96th percentile.
I think he is very heavy (not fat though)
he wears 9-12, 12-18 month clothes depending on brand. I would say he is 13kg if not just under as he is just coming out of the baby car seat (in height) 0 -

I was sure such a thing existed, or at least used to exist?! Could be wrong, though.

Weigh yourself on the scales, then weigh yourself holding him and then subtract your weight from your combined weight.
If he's leaking then they're full. If they're full you need higher capacity nappies, which usually means going up a size, even if it's only for the nighttime ones.
If they're too big, just use them over the top of the regular ones as an extra measure.0 -

Just weighed us, he was around 11-12kg.
Ok so I will buy some 5s 0 -

Yea my guys older and he was in 4+ up until only a few months ago... But the weight does even out when they are older... So your guy could be 13kg! My guys weight has slowed down or stayed the same for ages now. I have a load of size 5 spares (I think) so could give u a couple to try... Save you buyin them and not fitting.
Thanks a mil you are a star I have just sent the OH to buy some, as I would love to get it sorted tonight as have work in the morning
I hope his weight slows down as mum gave out to me yesterday saying I am over feeding him?? Even though I just do what anabel karmel book says minus the fruit in the morning 0 -

But you said yourself, he's big, but not fat? It's just his build!
My boy is long but very skinny, a couple of people have commented that he's too thin, but GP and PHN are completely happy with his weight gain, and actually I think we give him a lot more formula than most babies his age (and he polishes off every meal as well!) It's just his build and metabolism, a lot of my side of the family are tall and skinny. (I fell into the short fat category, unfortunately. ) 0 -

Hahaha o my mum was always saying I was over feeding T!!! She still does! Apparently all us kids were skinny babies. And tom was huge! You learn to ignore it. But annoyed me so much. The weight will slow down when he's running around. Fwiw I think chubsters are the cutest!0 -
I just added these in 5+http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AR9HX7M/ref=rcxsubs_mys2_product_title to my amazon monthly delivery, so should arrive 1st sept
I will try the 5s this week, the 5+ won't go to waste regardless.0 -

I totally agree! My boy might be skinny, but even so he has at least seventeen chins - adorable when he's giggling! 0 -

going to tried the dispoable liners. where do you get them?
I'm not sure where you get them but id hazzard a guess and say you can prob get them where you buy the cloth nappies? Or perhaps ring mothercare, boots or tesco and ask if they sell them? Perhaps someone who uses the cloth nappies can answer. 0 -
We started giving or oldest a smaller sized bottle before his bedtime, the bottle itself is half the size of the regular ones, but he still thought he was getting the same amount as it was still full. Sneaky daddy.
As for people saying you're over feeding them, we found that with both of them, they will only ever eat/drink whatever is enough for them, sometimes it was half what they normally eat, other times it was one and a half times, but we never ever force it in to them and let them tell us what they need and it's worked perfectly, with any significant weight gain always trending to be directly before a growth spurt which would cancel out any small amount of extra pudge, which I imagine is just as nature intended.
Also, you can't really go wrong if you're following the Annabel Karmel book, it's pretty spot on.0 -

My baba is a year now and she's a wee toot, albeit long. I've had her in size 5 nappies for months now. They are very big on her but I just like to know that she won't leak, I had a few accidents too. She hasn't had any since I put her in the bigger nappies. No harm in going a few sizes up if you need to.0 -

Have you tried the disposable liners at all?
I'd be worried that if you go a size too big, they'd leak even more, because there'd be gaps at the side, if you know what I mean!
The issue might just be that (a) he's feeding (and therefore weeing) more than the average baby, for whom the nappies are designed. And (b) that he's sleeping so well, and for longer than most babies, so obviously more wee will collect.
Neither of these things are "problems" as such, in fact both are brilliant things! Who doesn't want a baby that feeds and sleeps so well!
But I'm thinking that the size/shape/brand of the nappies isn't what's causing the leaks, moreso the fact that the absorption just isn't adequate for the quantity of liquid. So the disposable liners could very well solve the problem for you. I think it's worth a try!0 -

I was back to work this week so didn't get a chance to search for those liners. He doesn't drink more than normal only around 20oz milk now per day. Maybe 3 oz max of water. The two leaks were only small, but last nights was soaking. I think it was because OH gave him 9oz at 4pm when he usually only gets 5oz.
They leak up at belly not at legs I thought good old aldi would solve the problem but their 4+ nappies have not got that crazy padding in that the size 2s had when we used them. 0 -

Change him when you're going to bed yourself maybe so he has a fresh nappy on for the longest part of the night?
Might not wrk if he's a light sleeper though.0 -
