Is there such a thing as a night time nappy?

19 replies

Dizzymama · 21/02/2006 21:11

Dd is 1 year and has taken to sleeping for 12 hours plus at night (wonderful whilst it lasts ) the downside of this is that almost every morning her nappy is totally saturated and has leaked onto her pyjama waistband. She has eczema and, although it hasn't aggravated it yet, I'm a bit worried this continued soaking will cause a flare up.
Does anyone do a more absorbant night time nappy? She sleeps on her tummy so really needs more at the front.
Any help would be really appreciated!

Oooh now dd used to have nighttime ones but she's old now, so I can't remember what make they were. But yes they do make them.

Not that helpful am I?!

goldstarlover · 21/02/2006 21:14

no there isn't.
but you could try reusables?

Dizzymama · 21/02/2006 21:15

It's helpful to know I'm not mad! I thought they were out there but can't find them
Anyone come up with a make?

posey... they don't make them anymroe!

Posey · 21/02/2006 21:15

Should have said, they used to make them!

goldstarlover · 21/02/2006 21:15

someone else did this thread a while back and they've apparently stopped making them now

Dizzymama · 21/02/2006 21:16

I do have some reusables GSL, suppose I could put extra padding at the front that way.... good thought, thank you!

I'm really surprised they don't though!
I think the cherry liqueur chocs and red wine are frazzling the brain...

Could you try the next size up for night time and see if that helps? DS is 21 months and we put him in a pull up because it seemed to hold in wee better than a normal nappy.
Does she have a bed time bottle? Could you give a little less in that and a little more at teatime? Suppose that depends on how taken she is with her milk though.......

goldstarlover · 21/02/2006 21:18

yeah i thought they still made them before i read the thread. I use reusables most of the time, but when we go away use disposables and they barely contain ds's wee! lol
seems like something that would sell well so not sure why they don't still do them.

ds is doing this quite a bit atm. I don't know why they discontinued the night-time nappies - maybe they didn't really work.

I use disposables but I'm going to try the booster (?) pads that usually are used with reusable nappies

Mercy · 21/02/2006 21:21

usually, use, reusable - sorry

Dizzymama · 21/02/2006 21:22

That's a good idea too Judd! She does have 7oz before bed but I'm loathed to cut back as this is the only bottle she'll reliably take now she's older. I'll buy a small pack of pull ups and dig out my reusables and give both a go!
I reckon we should start a mumsnet inventions factory - why don't people relise there's a market for these things, we could earn a fortune!

wots a booster pad?my ds has excessive thirst and i have to change his nappy at least 3 times throughtout the night and they are sopping and so is he normally, very frustrating

Dizzymama · 21/02/2006 21:38

They're reusable pads (excuse the analogy but they're a bit like sanitary towels!) which would slot into nappy where needed to give extra soaking power! Check reusable nappy sites for them

OP posts:

not sure a booster would work in a disposable... disposable nappies are so absorbant that the liquid would probably go straight through the booster and into the nappy.

would definitely recommend complete reusables. if you're only using them at night you wouldn't need many.

Mercy · 21/02/2006 21:45

Thanks dizzy and goldstar.I plan to potty train ds in the summer (he's just turned 2) so I may try those. Do boys take longer than girls to be dry at night?

georginars · 22/02/2006 09:09

I've always used Pampers Baby Dry at night and they've always been fine...no leaks as far as I can remember
