I put my daughter to bed at 7pm every night with a clean nappy on and then go in before i go to bed and change her nappy again but when i go into her in the mornin shes soaking wet and so is her bed.. I took her to the doctors but he said theres nothing i can do but its really frustrating! Anyone got any ideas how i can stop this? Would really appreciate it.

Is the nappy leaking, or is she flooding it?

LadyOfTheHollyAndTheIvy · 22/12/2007 17:39

It is a disp. nappy yes?
If it is, I found that none of them could hold allof the wee either of my boys do in the night and it would be totally swollen by morning.
Is your DDs totally swollen up come morning?

dd (3) floods the nappy night and day as she holds on for hours then does 'big girl monsoons'. Haven't found a nappy yet that holds it all. Put a mattress liner on to save the matress.
Your dd is probably holding on all night then going just before or as she wakes up. Pampers seems to come closest to absorbing the monsoons fast enough.

I second Pampers as the brand most likely to be leak-free.

NAB3hundredbaubles · 22/12/2007 17:43

We use mini huggles and motherease wraps and have never had a leak.

DennytwasNewYear · 22/12/2007 17:53

Could you encourage her to drink more earlier in the day and reduce fluids for the last couple of hours B4 she goes to bed?

georgie34 · 22/12/2007 18:07

Cutting down on the pre bedtime drink could really help. We did that with DS when potty training aged 2, expecting a huge protest as he'd always had bedtime milk, but he was surprisingly unbothered - and has never wet the bed since ( now 5!)With dd ( now 21 months) we never started on the bedtime drink track - I don't think they really need it - just make sure she drinks enough earlier in the day.

YoungMummyOf1 · 22/12/2007 18:09

I use disposable nappies yes.. It could be because she has a drink to go to bed with but i cant get her off it. If i dont give it to her she wont go to sleep at all. She screams all night. Ive even had neighbours complainin because of how loud she screams!

I use pampers but they dont help at all. I dont know what else to try.

Also, try the next size up of disposible - the bigger they are, the more absorbant. It might be your DD is too big for the size of nappy she's in. DS2 is 15 months, and wear size 5 - if he goes in anything smaller they leak.

HappyChristmasWalrusIsOver · 22/12/2007 18:12

As for your neighbours complainging - tell em to feck off

YoungMummyOf1 · 22/12/2007 18:14

Shes in size 5+ at the moment so i dont know whether to keep her in those or go up a size.

YoungMummyOf1 · 22/12/2007 18:16

I dont blame the in a way because ive stood outside while her dads been trying to sort her out and shes so loud i could hear her like i was in the same room.

Sounds a bit mad but I have heard of people putting their kids in two nappies at once overnight - worth a try if all else fails? Probably need a bigger size on top tho. Actually it does sound a bit mad.

YoungMummyOf1 · 22/12/2007 18:20

Does sound a bit mad but coul work! lol.

Its horrrible going into her in the mornin and feeling her because if shes wet shes freezing and thats not good, especially in this weather.

maybe getting cold is triggering a wee?
Or try a incontinence pad in the night nappy. We're doing that right now and it seems to be working (dd shares a bed with me so I hate wet beds).

YoungMummyOf1 · 22/12/2007 18:25

Where can i get an incontinence pad from?

She cant be getting cold in the night because she wears thick pjs and has 2 blankets on her the whole night.

glaskham · 22/12/2007 18:43

here is what its supposed to be

needmorecoffee · 22/12/2007 18:45

2 blankets? dd has her clothes (we don't bother with PJ's), duvet plus 3 blankets. But then we don't have heating upstairs and its been blrady cold.
You can get incontinence pads from Boots and most chemists.
You checked the fit around her legs? See if there's any gaps. We have that issue a bit cos 'older' nappies are for moving children and seem less snug around the leg. But getting tired of wet trousers during the day.

YoungMummyOf1 · 22/12/2007 18:47

Duvets is what i mean.. 2 thick ones. And her pjs are quite thick so shes warm at night.

Found your thread!

blanki · 27/12/2007 14:23

I used pampers and a liner for a real nappy, boots own brand, with ds who got nicknamed pee-pee boy! This defo helped cut down on leaks and we all slept better.

pania · 28/12/2007 01:54

Could you very gradually reduce the amount you're giving her in her bedtime drink?
