Leaking overnight

[lucky3]

DS will be 2 in March. He’s consistently peeing through size 6 Huggies overnights. It’s absolutely exploding when he wakes up. Is there a better brand for heavy wetters? Should I move to pull ups? I looked into sposie pads but should I get size 4-6 or the toddler sizes?

No don’t do pull ups. They don’t hold anything (like 1 pee maybe). Try a size 7 overnight diaper. Or a regular size 7 with a sposie pad.

ETA: target diapers come in a size 7. Not sure if you can find size 7 overnights though so sizing up with a sposie is probably your best bet.

Add a sposie. Do you limit liquids in the evening? That's the biggest part for us.

Are you still doing milk at night? If so, I would do it earlier in the day (at home we will do a bottle after nap). Now we just give them a tiny cup of milk before bed - we actually use the little cups that come with Tylenol.

Limit liquids before bed/overnight. Sposie in the diaper for extra absorbency. Go up a size in diaper.

I remember we tried all of these things with DS2 and he would still leak, especially if the Sposie was placed not in the perfect place. I changed his diaper when I went to bed around 11pm - he slept right through the change. That worked the best.

Another thing you can try is a wool cover over the disposable. Wool covers seem intimidating at first but I think it's quite easy. Wool is really good about catching leaks, and it only needs to be washed like 1x a month. I use it on E2 nightly.

Sposies were a laundry saver for us! You could try sizing up to a 7 diaper. Or you could just switch to goodnites. We sized DS up to goodnites and a sposie.

Whatever you do, don't be me and put your DS in regular pull ups for night time sleeping. All I got was a peed on bed to wash daily.

Gah, Ive posted this question a million times, I think! Diapers or goodnites will hold more, not pull-ups. I used to double-diaper . Also, Huggies were the worst diapers for us, they leaked in the day. But if you generally like Huggies, I don’t think the diaper itself is the issue. These kiddos just pee a lot a night!

eta:  This helped so much.  I was just washing this and not all the sheets every day and having to make the bed.

We double diapered.

Goodnites pull ups worked well for us.

Same. DS2 is still in them and they seem to hold quite a lot.

Thank you! I absolutely had pull ups in my cart so I switched those out for good nights and ordered some sposie pads. He’s almost 2 and about 40lbs. Currently in 2t but I’m getting 3t for spring clothes. Would that be a smalL or extra small good night? Should I do a regular sposie size 4-6 or the 2t-3t size?

I would do small good nights. My 4.5 yo is just under 40 lbs, wears 4T clothes and we do the smalls for extra absorbency.
