dd 23m, 94cm 17.5kg is a super soaker at night (and sometimes during the day). She wakes abt 3am every morning soaked through (takes a good hour typically to get her relaxed again and sleeping!) and she's typically soaked thru again in the morning around 7ish when she re-wakes. We've tried different brands, the doubling up - Part of the problem with doubling up is that it gets quite bulky and then she's uncomfortable and she also seems to get nappy rash more often (but around the leg not in her fanjo/butt area) I think from the rubbing on the leg- we've tried the cloth over the disposable (she's too big for the totsbots size2 we have now).
We've been cutting down her fluid intake, and we're down to 200ml breakfast, 150ml snack, 200ml lunch and 200ml supper but she apparently must have 350ml of milk for bed drink (or she doesn't go down and simply asks for more again and again and again until she becomes distraught and then takes even longer to settle) and then she won't settle again at 3 unless we give her more milk but I've managed to cut this to 250ml. I've been struggling to get it less than this on all accounts without tantrums, repeated questions for more, and even with distraction tactics it only puts her off a short time before it all starts again. (though I'm hoping to slowly cut down the amts still)
I'm tired. Both of getting up/resettling her. AND of having to do 2 loads of laundry everyday! (And the tantrums to be honest too.)
What more can I try?
Someone suggested using Hemp liners inside a disposable? Does anyone have any hemp liners? are they bulky?
What other ideas have worked for you? (if any)
Am I doomed to waking up at 3am every morning to change bedclothes? cuz I have another one on the way and I may just cry myself to sleep every night if that's the case.
