Night time nappies leaking can anyone help

[Tillysmummy]

The last 5 nights DD has wet the bed although she's still in an nappy (21 mths). I use Pampers Active Fit. Has anyone got any other night time nappy suggestions ? I think that maybe they are not heavy duty enough and when she moves around it leaks out.
It doesn't happen during the day.

nappy liner inside?

This happens most mornings with my ds (23 mths). He drinks a whole bottle of milk before he goes to sleep and then usually finisheS a bottle of water during the night too.... so I think it may just be excess drinking!

I have tried Pampers Active Fit and Huggies too, but both seem equally bad. Sorry I have no suggestions but to cut down the fluid intake in the evening. Easier said than done though!

What about trying a booster liner inside a disposable? Twinkle on the web do 'twoosters' - three layers of terry with a fleece upper (feels dry) - they are a kind of sanny towel (sorry) shape that you could pop into the Pampers.

I think she's on holiday at the moment though as I havent heard back about my order for 2 weeks!

tillysmummy -
may sound strange but I always found that pampers leaked on my dd whereas huggies never did. conversely, pampers fit my ds better. I think pampers are a bit more of a male fit - seem to be looser between the legs to accommodate them - and huggies are closer fitting around girls. maybe if you try huggies you'll solve the problem? just a suggestion...

I suggest trying Huggies or the conventional style Pampers, possibly in the next size up - I had this problem with Active Fit pampers at night too - they seemed to be cut quite low at the front and wee would leak over the top (but I had a ds so a bit different)

what about putting knickers on top of the nappy to keep it more in place

DD is 22 months and on easy up pants, pampers were good during the day, but crap during the night (literaaly), they leaked quite bad, so I use Pampers during the day and Huggies during the day, works out ok, propably be soaking now tomorrow morning - have a I spoken too soon. THe reason I stock up on both is that I look out for bargains

I switched to Tesco brand nappies when ds was a few weeks old (pampers and huggies didn't agree with him). I've been using their pullups on ds at night since he was toilet trained during the day and I've never had a problem with leakage.
While you are trying to figure it out, get a waterproof mattress protector so it's not such a big deal if there are leaks. You'll need one eventually for night time toilet training.

Hi ladies thanks for all the advice. I think I will try Huggies and also a waterproof sheet which I am trying to buy.I will also try the nappy liners if the Huggies don't work. She is absolutely sodden in the mornings. Here's a thought, I may be totally off the ball here but dd is now 21 months and she is talking quite well. She always tells me when she's done a poo. I thought maybe that it is time to start the toilet training thing. She got out of her paddling pool the other day (which she was in naked) to do a wee. I was going to try and start training her in a few weeks after holiday as she seems aware of the sensation of needing to go now. I wonder if the bed wetting is another sigh. Maybe Im being fanciful
Also wanted to stop her having a bottle at night and in the morning which she still does - she has all her other drinks in cups but didn't seem to want her milk from a cup. I didn't push it but think now its really time. I was going to just not take bottles on holiday with me and hope she gets on with it. This sort of coincides with the toilet training because I thought I may just give her a cup of milk after her tea and then no other drink nearer bed time. I know that when I start training her it will take her a while to be dry at night so I will still need good nappies.
What does everyone else think? Are these the ramblings of a mad woman ? Also when im training when should be the latest she is given a drink to try and encourage dry nights.

I had this problem but was with Huggies so chneged to pampers. I think diferent nappies can help as it depends on the fit to your child - swap them about a bit and experiment.

Tillysmummy - if she no longer wants her bottle I wouldn't bother may be worth getting her used to not having it before you go away in case she decides she really wants a bottle when you are away. Re. the potty training, sounds as though she is realising when she wants to go so go for it - there's no harm in trying. Re. the nighttime nappies - could you buy bigger nappies and put a larger one over the current one - it could be that sh is holding her wee all night but passes a massive one in the morning which the nappy cannot cope with - this all may click into place once she is potty trained. Good luck.

Tillysmummy - johnlewis.com has a range of waterproof sheets (just put "mattress protector" into the search box).

tillysmummy, I think you are right just not to bring the bottles on holiday - at that age they are intensely practical and if you tell her "oh no! we forgot to bring the bottles! never mind, we just won't have bottles while we are in spain/wherever" she'll probably accept it as just being one more thing that is a bit different about being on holiday. and then you can bin them when you get back.

Hewlettsdaughter - thank goodness! I looked on the John Lewis website and couldn't find it !!!

Jaybeen and Hughsie, i've bought some new nappies today, lets see - fingers crossed and thanks. Princesspeahead, I agree totally, am going to give it a go, the change of scenery may be just what she needs. I may take one as emergency back up but will really try and get her off it.

Sounds like she is totally ready for toilet training. My ds was showing the same readiness when my childminder declared him "ready." She had him out of daytime nappies in only two days! I left him in nighttime nappies for another 8 months. Some kids stay in nighttime nappies for years after they've been daytime toiilet trained...it can really vary. I got my mattress protector from John Lewis (in store, not online)...they're expensive, but when I looked into buying the fabric to make one myself, it was going to cost just as much.
