Diapering Through the Night?

Hi S.,

I to have had this promblem with my 11 month old daughter. I found that the HUGGIES OVERNIGHT DIAPERS worked really well and keep her dry all through the night. Also I sometimes add baby powder to help absorb some of the wetness. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K. P

I used a product that is a bit difficult to find called "diaper doublers". It is an insert, about the size of a maxi pad that can be used overnight to prevent leaks. I hope they still make this product. Good luck.

I had the same issues while using huggies. I have now gone to Pampers and love them. I have a girl, you might want to try Pampers or Luvs. Luvs fit well on boys. In Australia Huggies has girl or boy diapers. I wish they did that here in the States. Girls and boys pee differentely in their diapers.
hope this helps .

Have you tried different brands? I was never a fan of Huggies cuz my kids felt wet on the outside of their clothes and then I'd go to change the diaper and find it seemed empty-or almost.
I love Pampers. I fing that if you use coupons and stock up when they go on sale, they're really not much more than store brand, but my experience with them is much better.
Good luck.

Hi!

I am a grandmother of three little girls! The youngest one does the same thing that you are requesting help on. I have found that about 3;30 in the am, she needs a bottle. Huggies Overnight and Pampers Deluxe are great diapers. I change her in a new diaper and give her another bottle. I know that means waking up, but I wake up alot so I don't mind checking on her whether she needs a bottle or not. I also dress her so that she does not get cold if she kicks all the covers off of herself. Both of these things seem to help keep her dry. If he still gets wet, you might need to buy some of those blue pads that the hospital used when you were there and place them under him while he sleeps. It may not keep him dry, but it will keep the bedding dry. The other thing we do is give the baby a small bottle, just enough to get her to sleep.

I use cloth diapers now and we have had no problems even when he was still nursing at night. Other than that, you can get either menstrual pads or smaller diapers to use as doublers. When my DD was little and on Lasix (sp.?-it's a diuretic) we were able to find actual diaper doublers, but I haven't seen these lately.
LMK if you are interested in trying cloth and I can give you more info. Even if you just decide to use them at night :)

I used to have that problem with my little guy, My hubby told me to point his wienie down at night to help direct the urine downward so he's not soaked. Is the butt of his diaper wet? It might be that he's pointed upwards and is soaking the 1"-2" between him and the edge of the diaper. Also, we found some great and CHEAP diapers at Sam's. They have the baby muppet characters on them and you can get them by the case! I cannot , for the life of me recall the name (it's been a few years now) but they worked GREAT!
AND we got a case of about 150+ for 22 bucks! who can beat that?!?
Hope that helps your poor guy. It used to break my heart to see those helpless little sweeties all cold n wet.

Use the overnight diapers. I had to do this when my oldest was your son's age. You only use them at night and they are super absorbent! One package lasts a couple of months. Other than that don't gve him anything to drink for a hour or two before bedtime.

When my girls wore diapers, we had the same problem. I was introduced to Luvs overnight and they worked for them. They hold a lot of urine.

Good Luck,
E.

My kids would wake up wet too. My little boy drank ALOT. I used Huggies Overnites with my first child and they worked great. They helped with my boy some, he just drank alot so there was not much that was full proof. I used the Overnites for bedtime, naptime, and plane trips.

Pampers did work better for my boy during the day too.

Hope this helps.

I used cloth diapers when my babies were little and would put an extra folded diaper in the nighttime diaper. This absorbed more of the urine and seemed to help. With the huggies you might try this by adding an extra cloth diaper to absorb the extra urine. Another idea, you could use a larger size diaper over the one that fits him and then the overflow would go into this bigger diaper and not soak into his clothes. Let me know how it works.

L.-56 yo mother of three in their 30's and 7 grandchildren from 1-20 years old.

I had this problem with my son who is now 3.... I tryed all the usual brands,, Loves, Pampers, and finally I found that Huggies has an OVER NIGHT diaper.... The sizes start at 3 and I believe they go to 5 or 6. My son is VERRY tall and VERRY SKINNY. ( he has no butt or waist) So finding a diaper that FIT was the problem for me..... Since I found these,,, there have been no more wet beds!!! ( still working on potty training) Sometimes there bladders grow faster than they do, so they wet more,,,, but try these and let me know how they work out...... PS..... What is your address and I can bring you one to try brfore you buy... ( if you are close,, or I can mail it to you.)

S.,

Try going back to a smaller diaper. Sometimes if the diaper doesn't fit just right (especially around the waist) baby will leak while lying down. I have found that pampers cruisers work best for my little one.

D.

I have to agree with Amy. Our hospital uses Huggies, and I HATE them!!! We had major leaking problems with my first until we finally started buying Pampers. I tried to use up the Huggies we brought home with my second, but after several leaks I decided it wasn't worth the mess. We rarely have leaks with Pampers... I love them! We also received a bag of Luvs for my second, and made it through that whole bag leak-free so I think they're a pretty good brand as well. I would definately stay away from the Huggies though.

Have you tried using another brand? Try pampers dry or cruiser's my little one 10 months old is a very heavy wetter at night. We use the pamper dry and have never had an accident. It could not hurt to try good luck.

We were having the same problem and purchased Huggies Overnites. Problem solved!

I would stick to the diapers that are the correct size for his weight and not go up a size, if they don't fit snug enough, there will be leakage. We don't use Huggies, we use pampers but mine was soaking through diapers at night so we started using the Huggies overnights at night, they work great. but make sure they are the right size, if they are too big, there will be leakage. HTH.

Hi S.,
I had the same problem with all three of my little guys. Try buying a few different brands of diapers. They are all shaped differently and we found that it was the diaper that was not working with the shape of their bottom and waist. My first one ended up with luvs, the second was a huggies baby, and the last one started with luvs and ended with pampers. We found a consignment store if Tyler called "Little Behinds" that had a bin of unused loose diapers and you could buy them buy the bag. This allowed us to compare side to side the same size diaper and test the shapes whithout going broke.
The only other thing you could do is buy the plastic liners that go over the cloth diapers and training pants. These cause alot of sweating and can be very uncomfortable.
I hope this helps.
I am also relieved to hear that someone else has the same problem that I did with diaper leaks. It was a common occurance for us and none of our friends ever had this problem. It happened with all three of my boys and I always thought it was just me.
W.

I have had 4 babies and the only thing
I found absolutely fool proof was to
get up and change them at least once
during the night. However, you can try
decreasing his fluid intake in the hours
before bed. Might check with your pediatrition
with this one. Good Luck

I have a 9 month old and she sleeps through the night fine (til about 7 am). Try Pampers "Baby Dry" Stage 3. Says "Bright Mornings" and has a picture of an InchWorm that says Flex under him.
When I upgraded my daughter to Stage 4, I found the diapers too big for her, and she's 21lbs!
My mother-in-law actually found these and she's a life-saver!

First, get the right size diapers. If they are too big your baby, urine will not be contained.

Second, I never had any luck with Huggies. My child ALWAYS leaked with Huggies....even with the correct size.

Also, there is nothing wrong with using the off brand diapers. In fact, they work just as well and are cheaper than the name brand. With three kids, we've tried them all and we ended up using the cheaper brand.

Happy New Year!

Ok, when my son was about your son's age, I put a request out for the exact same thing! So, what everyone has already said is good, but also, they told me that it was just a phase that babies go through. I thought it sounded crazy, but one day it just ended. But to get you until it ends, I would reccommend putting a maxi pad in his diaper before bed time, it really worked for me and they are cheaper than the diaper doublers (they are almost the same thing anyway). I hope this helps, good luck!!

I am using Huggies now and they are leaking as well overnight. I took one posters suggestion and added a maxi pad to my son's diaper last night and it worked!! I will try Pampers again the next round of diapers I buy....

You have gotten many good responces, one thing I did when this happened with my DD was to double diaper. I would use her correct size and then one size bigger. This really made a difference. I also used the huggies overnights. Good luck!

Use the Huggies overnites size 4 they work well for us.

Can't remember the name, but on the diaper aisle there were these inserts to add to the diapers....to absorb extra urine.

I agree that too big diapers can be a problem. Make sure they fit well.

S.,

I have gone through this with my son a few times. We use Pampers Cruisers and have not found a better diaper out there in my opinion. I just make sure I change him right before bed and I make sure his "hoo-hoo" is pointed down also.

Good luck,
J.

What time does your son go to bed? When does he partake of his last bottle/drink? Making sure your son does not have liquid intake after 7-8:00 (latest) would help and being sure that he urinates before being put to bed. If you want to for sure be sure he is not soaked, you could get up once during the night when if you go to the bathroom and change him/check to see if he has already soaked his diapers. This way he will not be sleeping in wet diapers all night also.

OOPS! Bigger is not always better. That will usually make more room for messes. Try the huggies overnights. They come in many sizes and hold much more urine. Unfortunately they are often hard to find. I have the best luck finding them at walmart. Good luck and dry nights to you and your bundle.

You have gotten a lot of good responses. I wanted to echo that Huggies worked the best for me so you might want to try the overnights. I even had a friend that would put two diapers during this time. For some reason it seems like at that age (probably because they are drinking a lot of milk) they seeem to urinate more for a brief period.

Good morning S.!

I have 4 FABULOUS children of my own. My oldest being 12. I know exactly what you talking about! Huggies or Pampers I cannot remmeber which one has an overnight diaper that is going to save your day! I think they are called "overnights" or "goodnights".

Hope this helps!

J.

My son had the same problem. I went up a size thinking I woul be ahead of the game on him growing out of his diapers - but, that is when he started leaking all the time. I use Pampers cruisers...

When I went back to the smaller size that fit him he did not have any leaks. BTW - pull ups are terrible for night time too from my experience, but that is just my experience.

S.

I have 4 kids and I have used Luvs for all my kids...I haven't had that big a problem with the leaking. Boys can be hard though because their little willy can point up and shoot right out. Sometimes that just makes it hard and you might want check him again right before you go to bed or if you get up in the middle of the night-unless it is just a leaking problem and not a full diaper problem. As he gets older and his liquid intake slows in the evening, it will get better too.

I would try different diapers. I have tried them all and have used Luvs with all four of mine religiously and even my husband will gripe when I buy another brand on discount or something. (my oldest is 13, so I have used them a long time!LOL) They just work for us. My 3rd is 2 and her hiney breaks out if I use another brand.

Good luck...

I had the same problem with my daughter (now 1). Try Huggies nighttime/overnight diapers.

I like Pampers much better than Huggies...Huggies leaked for us but the Pampers Cruisers were great. There is also another thing you can try. They are called Diaper Doublers and they are like a long maxi pad that you insert into the baby's diaper for extra absorbtion. The only place I found the diaper doublers was at Tom Thumb! They are Safeway brand on the diaper aisle. I had to use them for a while when my daughter was a little older than yours but soaking her diaper at night. They definitely helped.

Take care,
N.

Hi S.,
I found that it's not the weight that truely matters, for my son it is more the length. I also found that Pampers fit tighter on him. I would suggest experiementing with a few brands. He should not be wetting out of them (especially since you are already one step up). Huggies just might not be the right fit. Good Luck

Try Pampers, I think they work better for boys for some reason! :)

with both of my kids my son who is now 6 and my now 14 month old daughter the only diapers that worked were luvs she is 21 pounds now and has been in a size three since she was 19 pounds the fit great and i have had very few leaks and only when she sleeps alot longer then normal...good luck

Please consider using gdiapers, available at central market, or online at www.gdiapers.com. You can double up the absorbancy and it will keep your son drier.

pampers at night! We use luvs (cheaper) during day and ONLY pampers at night. They seem to work the best for the boys. Huggies seem fine for girls, but not as good for boys. We use the pampers cruisers or the babydry with the elastic band. And we use size 4 during the day and size 5 at night. My twin boys just turned 2 and we switched to pampersat night around 5 months old after lots of leaking from other brands at night. Huggies leaked terribly for us. In my opinion, you shouldnt have to use a "doubler" or 2 diapers.. that is too much trouble and too expensive. Plus, the main purpose of a diaper is to keep the urine in. and if that particular brand isnt doing it, then i say find a different one that does. Hope that helps! Also, you can go sign up on pampers.com and they will mail you coupons

Huggies overnights or pampers babydry are the best for wetness.

First of all go back down a size, he has too much room. I know its seems like the bigger the diaper the better but not true they need a fitter fit so they don't leak. Its been along time but I remember that with each diaper company they'd change designs up so I remember I liked pampers for one child but then they seemed to leak out the sides on another. Then I remember loving luvs but Huggies better latter, because like I said they change designs and each child is built different so buy a small pack of each and see what works best.

Huggies has Overnight diapers that start at size 4.

Or the problem could be that he just needs size 3. If he weighs 18 lbs, the legs or top could be leaking in the size 4. The larger diapers may have extra absorbency, but you may be losing that to leaks because they're too big.

Have you tried "Night-time" diapers? They worked great for my son when he was that age.

Hi S.. I agree with the other postings regarding going down a size. My son is about 2 months older than your son (He will be 10 months on the 6th) and he weighed 17lbs 15oz at his last dr's appointment at 9 months old. He's in a size 3 in the Cruisers because they go up to 22 lbs. We have had him in Pampers since the day he was born. I tried Huggies, but they always leaked and I couldn't get a good "seal" to keep them from leaking. It is trial and error thing until you find what works. If you are set on Huggies though, I would go down a size and try that. A friend of mine swears by the Wal-Mart brand diapers.

Good luck on your quest :)

You might try pampers I like them better.Also pampers has a reward system.You can enter codes on their website and get rewards with your points.But anoter thing that used to happen to my son is you have to watch the way his wee-wee is positioned.Sounds strange but my son woke up with wet spots in weird places.try making sure that his wee-wee is pointing straight down and not sidways or up because he might be peeing out of the diaper.Just a thought.Also if the diapers is to big then it will be looser around his legs aslo causing leakage.Good luck.They also have waterproof pads at walmart and babies r us to protect his bed

I go up one size from the weight limit on the diaper package. Try to go to a size 5. Also, I use night-time diapers for my son. They work great and leak only if I give him a drink too close to bedtime.

Huggies has a great product called overnights. Its in a purple bag with the regular huggies diapers. They are expensive, but just using them at night the bag will last a while. Worked great for us!!!!!!!!!!!
K.

I have found that huggies leak and use Pampers religiously, they cost more I think but it's worth it. Especially after having to clean a wet car seat, that's the worst. Also, could it be perspiration? My baby boys sweat alot at night when they were babies.

Hi S.,

I have an 8 month old daughter and we were going through the same issue until I finally called huggies and yelled and screamed about how their diapers are NOT leak proof. The very sweet and nice worker advised me to step up to the next size and disregard the "pounds" on the box. She said some babies out grow the "soaking" part of the diaper but not the size. My 8 month old is now wearing size 5 for 27 lbs + but only weighs 22 lbs! We have only had little accidents here and there! Hope this helps and good luck!

Sincerely,

S.

will he soak thru a size 3? Maybe the size 4 is too big and not on tight enough and leaking.

I was reading through the responses, and I feel sorry for you cuz there are so many people with different opnions! I'm having the same problem with my 11 week old son! Right now I'm using Luvs, and they leak so bad, and I know the pampers were leeking too. (I'm still buying different brands to figure out which one to go with) The only ones SO FAR that have not leaked are Huggies Supreme, which are SO expensive, and then I read a bunch of other people saying the exact opposite! What's a mommy to do...??

I had the same problem with my girl when she was 6 months old and I discovered that if you buy Walmart's Parent's Choice brand (the cheapest on the shelf in yellow packaging) that the leaking will stop. You will see when you get the diapers that they are thicker and they hold a ton more than other diapers. I put Pampers and Huggies on during the day because they are much more comfortable and only keep PC for night-time. My daughter is now 14 months old and we still continue with this - sometimes I think her diapers weight a few pounds in the morning but no leaks!! :)

We love the pampers cruisers and we use a size smaller than bigger and that has seemed to help. We had the same problem with our son.

Huggies Supreme's hold even more than just regular huggies. I am shocked how much they hold, I think they even do better than the overnight diapers. And being that he is a boy, just make sure his "thing" is pointed down when diapering him at night and not up because then he'll just pee out.

I have six kids...so trust me, I've been there!

1. I use Luvs - I've never been impressed with Huggies.

2. It's possible that the diapers are TOO big - if the waist and legs aren't snug then as the diaper absorbs urine and swells, it can actually swell out of the plastic boundary and soak the clothes.

S.

Pampers work the best. I had the same problem with huggies. I switched to Pampers and I don't have that problem anymore.

Hi S.,
I had this same problem with both of my boys at about the same age as well. Maybe the kidneys are developing! :)
Well here goes: I used a regular Huggies diaper (size 4 would be fine), a doubler (you can get them at Tom Thumbs by the diapers, their disposable), and a plastic pant over all of that! They are packed into the PJ's but it works! And in time I didn't need to do it anymore.
C.

Ps And don't forget to point that pee pee down when you are diapering!

I remember when my son was doing the same thing and the only thing that got us through was Huggies Overnights. They are more expensive but did save the hassle during the night and helped him sleep better. I would only use them at night so they would last that long. Never had a problem after that until he was night trained!

The weight on those packages are just averages anyway. My kids were long so they always moved up a size before they reached the weight for that size. I have good luck with the Huggies Overnights- they have double padding so they hold more urine. We have overflows occasionally, but not like with any of the regular diapers.

If that doesn't work- try putting a cloth diaper (prefolded type) inside the regular diaper. Just fold it in thirds and place along the middle of the diaper from front to back- then put diaper on as usual.

Have you tried the Nighttime diapers? We use Pampers diapers throughout the day but I just recently bought the Huggies Nightime diapers for my son. We had at least 2 incidents a week where urine would leak out of his diaper and get onto his pjs and sheets. We've been using these diapers for about a week now and haven't had any issues. My son currently wears size 4 diapers in Pampers so I got him the same size in the Huggies and they seem to work fine.

Good luck!

-M.

I highly recommend switching to Pampers Baby Dry. Huggies have been called "soogies" in many circles. I have had great luck with Baby Dry. Plus no diaper rash because they truly absorb everything. Yes, they a bit more expensive than Huggies but worth it. You can also go on Pampers website and join. You will receive coupons and can collect points to use to get toys, books, etc.

We use Pampers during the day, but Huggies overnites at night b/c of leakage issues. They work great!

I used to use a size bigger diaber and fold the top in towards his belly. Now I use the huggies night time diapers in his current size and still fold the top in. He hasn't leaked yet!

S.,
I don't think the brand is the issue.
1. Point him DOWN - this is crucial for boys.
2. Diapers need to fit snuggly unless they are oversaturated in the morning. If the velcro tabs overlap, the diaper is too big.
3. If there's still a problem with "missing" the diaper, try double-diapering, one smaller and one bigger one on top. One extra diaper a day is worth not having to wash all his bedding every morning.

Good luck!

Hi S., I have a 14 month old and went through something similar when she was a bit older than 8 months. I do think putting him in the right size is important because the larger size might be too loose allowing the leaks. The other thing I found was that Huggies Overnites work really well. My daughter has been sleeping 12 hours a night for some time now and a regular pampers diaper (which she wears during the day) would leak over such a long period. The Huggies Overnites work great, but can be hard to find and as far as I know, they are only available in size 4 and up. Good luck!

Huggies Overnights are the best!!! I get them at Walmart. Target on 75 in McKinney had some the other day but the package was small.

I used them with my son and never had a problem and now use them with my 2 year old girls.

Try pullups instead. The walmart brand works great too.

S.! Hey there, you may want to try Size 3 Pampers Cruisers. My son is 11-months at about 21lbs and these work well for him. They are not too small and while I used to use Huggies, I prefer the fit of Pampers better. Good Luck!

I used to use Kroger brand diapers and they worked real good. If he is drinking allot before bed maybe try giving lest liquids before bed. Hope it helps.........

A. H.

Perhaps the diapers are too big? Is he leaking through the sides? My 2 1/2 year old goes to bed with a sippy and drinks a whole one before bed ( I know I know...bad bad bad) and she wears size 4 Huggies diapers and almost never leakes through. So, maybe its just too big?

I used to try 2 diapers, but i thought it was too bulky (it worked though!) and then I went to 1 very large diaper.

Had the same problem with Huggies...we went to the White Cloud Walmart brand which is cheaper and worked wonderfully. Good Luck!
A.

I like Pampers better--flexible top (still leakage but much better chances with them)

When my first son was born we had a horrible time with Huggies but it was only before we received some sound advice to "point" his boy parts down before securing the diaper. This is always a must for little boys in diapers and that is why getting a diaper too big can cause trouble- too much room to move around! Hope this wasn't too obvious but it helped me out! Now pretty much any diaper works fine for my boys- Huggies, Pampers, White Cloud... Good luck!

i also use huggies and my 26 pound 18 month old is still wearing size 3. he is my third child and i have come to realize sizes are not consistant. go with a smaller diaper. i am partial to huggies and have used them back when my 9 year old was a baby. i tried all the others (huggies supreme, luvs, pampers, etc) and have always come right back to huggies. good luck!

Huggies makes nighttime diapers - your son should probably fit in them. they are big and bulky but do a great job. Also, if it's coming out of the top of the diaper, fold it down a little (like you would to care for an umbillical cord stump). we did that trick on our 6 month old triplet sons at 4mos and that fixed our problem!

Good luck!

Huggies Overnight diapers are what I've used with all three of my kiddos. If they are closer to the end range on the size, I go up a size. That usually keeps them dry although I've had more problems with my boy getting wet then my girls.

I had the same problem until I started using Huggies overnights and he has only leaked through once since I switched his diapers when he was about 10 months. He is now 2 1/2.
Hope this helps.
M.

We had the same problem with Huggies. Try the pampers--I don't remember what they are called but the "premium" ones for night use.

Finding the right diaper can be an expensive process but well worth it when you find the right one to stop the leaking. I have twin boys who are two and still in diapers (but hopefully not for too much longer), anyway, they would wake up with really wet pj's and sheets, too and for them Pampers and Luvs were the worst offending diapers. Huggies is what keeps them nice and dry through the night. But obviously your little guy is having issues with the Huggies brand so you'll probably need to try another. I would recommend going back down to a size three for now. I have found wearing too big of diapers can lead to leaking. Infact, I have to buy two different size diapers, size 5 for one twin and size 4 for the other because they are about ten pounds different in their weights but I've found staying with the right size diaper is beneficial in the long run. Good luck finding the right diaper for your little boy.

I love Huggies diapers too, but did have to move to Huggies Overnights to prevent the leaking issue. It may be that you need a different brand as people have suggested, but if Huggies work well during the day, I would think they would also be good during the night. I do use a size larger in the Overnights than he wears during the day. For example, my son is 28 lbs and wears the Regular 4's daytime and 5's in Overnights. I have also found that you have to move them up a size well before the box actually suggests. I do really think the Overnights in a size 4 will solve your problem. For those who have a hard time finding them, I have got them at diapers.com, amazon.com, and my local Tom Thumb.

Well I had tried all diapers and I had that same problem with Huggies also but believe it or not the Walmart brand(White Cloud) was successful for us so you might just want to try them!!

I have a 3yr old boy, but when he was in diapers....I could only use Pampers brand. He would pee right out the top of Huggies or any other brand. I know they cost more, but they are the only ones that worked for my little boy.

S. H

I used Huggies Overnights along with a diaper doubler--you can get those at Babies R Us or Albertsons. Worked great!

I have two boys (6 and 20 months) who also urinated a lot at night. I don't necessarily agree with everyone that Pampers work better than Huggies. I have always used Huggies and they work fine. The key is to make sure you are using the right size. It seems like size 4 is a bit too big for an 18lb baby...they need to fit snug. I agree that the Huggies overnights would also help. I also tried Luvs during the day because they are cheaper, but found that they did not work nearly as good as Huggies and Pampers so I just started buying them at Sam's/Costco to save money on diapers. Also, anytime a friend or relative asks you if you need anything, don't hesitate to tell them you need diapers (and specify what brand and what size)! My mother-in-law started buying me a big box about once every couple of months which was greatly appreciated.

We had this same problem with our older daughter. Huggies makes an overnight diaper. She was still soggy in the morning but at least it kept it contained! Good luck!

I had the same problem...are you using the Huggies Overnites? Those seem to work great at nighttime. They have a size 4 which is on the bigger side but it works wonderful for your baby cuz it has some kind-of gel in it that gets harder instead of leaking out.I just use them at night

Hi i had to use pampers goodnights the huggies just didnot cut it at night they all woke up every 2 hrs so that was a lot of milk and a lot of pepe

I used the Huggies overnight diapers. They are more absorbant than the daytime ones and really helped.
K.

Hi!

We have alot in common. I have a 7 month old boy about 20 lbs in size 4's. Sometimes he wakes up wet also, and we go through huggies, pampers, etc. All the good ones! This may sound crazy, but sometimes I will double up the diapers and that seems to help. I also make sure his genitals are tucked downward and that helps too.

Hello,
My daughter is now two but I also had this same problem at that age with her. I finally decided that it was because she was drinking too much before bed and through the night. I had to cut her back about an hour or so before bedtime and try using a diaper like Huggie's Supreme for night time because they hold more. Hope this works for you. Good luck!

We had the exact same problem, at approx. the same age. My son was waking up only because he was soaked. We switched to Huggies Overnites, and that fixed the problem right away!

The webpage says that they come in sizes 3, 4, and 5, but I can't ever find the smaller sizes. My son was a bit small for the size ranges, but they still worked great. Good luck!

I would give papmpers cruisers a try. My son had the same issue. He is 11 months right now and we seemed to solve the problem by switching to cruisers. I'm not sure if size 4 may be too big on him, they are really stretchy. You may want to experiment with a small pack of size 3's first!

Look at all your responses!!
I have tried all brands and I like Kirkland diapers from Cosco the best. They work great and the price is good.

I would try a larger size or a different brand. We found that the Huggies would sometimes leak with my son depending on his weight. I also think they outgrow the daiper as they get older not in size, but capacity. We use Pampers Supreme now for both children. The weight on the diapers is such a big range. If you look at the size 5, he is probably in that weight range also. They overlap considerably.

I started with huggies and had the same problem as you, I changed to Pampers Cruisers and never wet again. I have a lot of friends with kids and all of them use Pampers with no complaints.

that is not unusual at all the best i found though was luvs diapers i used with all my babies and the oldest is now 8 they work pretty good but sometimes it still doesnt stop the flowing dpending on intake mastering the art of changing them at least once more without waking them before you go to sleep yourself helps alot but if they are not heavy sleepers there are some washable cloth diapers with plastic liner on the outside that are sewn together works well over a regular diaper catches the overflow and saves the bed most of the time

I would try using a size 3 diaper. My son is about the same size and he also wets a lot through the night, but the diaper seems to contain it. We use Pamers Cruisers and love them. Congratulations on sleeping through the night...we are still working on that one!

I swear by Huggies Overnights! My son was waking up soaked toobut we used Pampers Cruisers. I still use the Pampers throughout the day but now at bedtime on goes a Huggie Overnight. They are kinda hard to find...but a pack lasts a month.

The answer is Pampers! Like a lot of the other mothers I was never fond of Huggies - they cost more and almost always leaked. Try the Pampers. Another thing that someone once told me was when their babies' diapers leaked during the night, she realized that it was time to go up another size in the diaper. When my DH and I heard this, we were like, "Why didn't we think of that." Ever since then, I have followed that advice and it has always fixed the problem. Good luck!

I would go back down to the right size diaper. I use luvs and they work great for my little boy. if he still leaks fold up a cloth diaper and use it too. :) good luck

Pampers are a better brand of diaper I think and I also agree that if they are a little big, there is room for leakage. Try going down a size (still staying within the pounds). Or try the huggies overnight, checking the size closely.

We found with our son that he could not wear Huggies because they would leak and we would have the same problem as you during the night. We switched to Pampers and they are working wonderfully.

It's been a while for me but I could never use huggies on my girls, they would always leak. I would try pampers then luv's.

try pampers cruisers...huggies always leaked on my kids!!!
there are also nighttime diapers that hold more liquid.

I had that problem with my little girl. I have moved to Huggies Overnights...they are a little hard to find at times but they did solve my problem.

hi! i made that mistake a few times with my now 15 month old---i was always fearful that the diaper would be too tight--but it won't!! go smaller and fit the diaper on more snug...that should solve any leakage problem...my girl sleeps all night with the same diaper with no leakage now...best wishes! and congrats on sleeping through the night!!!

I have twin boys so needless to say I have been through a lot of diaper issues. I tried huggies for a while but my boys would pee right through them even during the day unless I use the size 6. I reccomend the nighttime diapers I believe they are called "good nites". The other choice is changing to another brand like Luvs or Pampers. Luvs are a little less expensive as you get more per box and the sizes run a little bigger, I had no problems what so ever with them soaking through until I hit stage 5's even through the night. We are now going with Pampers as they seem to work the best for use day and night in higher stages, it takes a lot to soak one through.

I have always heard Pampers are better for little boys, I love the Huggies, but I have a little girl. I would try overnight diapers - Huggies make some I know and I am sure Pampers does too, size up as well like you are - I had this problem with my little one.

ps...hope it helps

Huggies Overnights are the only way for my little guy

Huggies makes a night time diaper called Huggies Overnights. Both of my boys wear them. It will hold A LOT!!!!! I highly recommend them.

I would suggest going down a size. If they are too loose they will leak. My 2 yo still wears a size 4 and she is around 25 lbs. I also found that Huggies leak during the night for my little one. We use the regular Pampers. It will have to be trial and error until you find the right fit. But, it sounds the main problem is that the diaper is too big. Good Luck and enjoy your sleep!

I have to say as soon as you said "huggies" i assumed this might be part of your problem. I have two children, a boy & a girl. My daughter is 5 & my son is 3 weeks old. Both were initiated to diaperhood with Huggies diapers. Both times we switched to Pampers as soon as possible. I origianlly thought there is no way a diaper that cost so much could be soo leaky. But each time we used Huggies we were left with wet soiled clothing & soggy leaky diapers. I never paid for the huggies, they were given to me or I recieved in the mail as a trial. I am proud to say I have never spent a dime on them as they just a waist of money to me. This may not be the answer to your son's nightime problems but I would definitly try a new brand. Like I said, we love Pampers. You can also buy them in bulk at Sam's Club & save $$ as well.
Good luck!

You should get rid of the huggies and go with ANY OTHER BRAND. I learned REAL quick that huggies are not a good brand and way overpriced. My son was leaking thru them at 2 weeks old! I love LUVS and I also find the store brands to work very well (ie Walmart's white cloud or HEB's brand)
