20 month old wet through in morning

[lozinkent]

wonder if anyone can help. For the last week my 20 month old ds has been wet through in the morning. He is wearing the right size nappy (he is 26lbs and wearing Pampers for 21-50lbs). He wears a vest at night which should help keep the nappy in place and although he drinks a moderate amount of juice in the day (no more than the average though) I do try to cut it back a little at tea time. He is now waking at 6am crying due to the wetness. Any suggestions or has anyone else come accross this?

Different brand of nappy? Maybe next size down?

Does he only wee at night? Cloth nappies are easy to deal with if it's just wee (just wash with towels), and we've never had a leak in one yet.

Could you use some sort of booster inside the nappy? Like one of those tena lady pads?

Hi lozinkent have you tried Asda George nappies? My 4yo has bed time wees so we still use nappies and these are the best I've ever used. Been through usual top brands, Pampers, Huggies and these beat them every time. I use the purple packet size extra large 6 and they usually last the full 9-12 hours. Hope this helps

Hi Lozinkent.
that happens us sometimes too (depends on liquid intake during the day). I feel DS's nappy before I go to bed, and if it feels pretty full then I change it (he stays asleep throughout) and that seems to work.
HTH

imafairy, i did this too. checked when i went to bed and of they'd weed i'd change them before i turned in.

I swapped to pampers easy up pants after active fit and baby dry started to have leaks. Have worked ok so far!

Maybe Pampers Active Fit nappies ... they've definitely worked for us when we've had 'leakies'.

ASDA nappies all the way!

Snap with thE asda nappies!!! Never leak!!

i 'double bag' mine!

i use one nappy (a nature boy and girl one, tho i dont know if thats the most effective) and then a pampers pull up one on top to hold it on.

i actually put both my boys to bed with a bottle (i know, im a bad bad mama) so they are always wet in the morn, but this seems to work for the most part...

quofan are they pull ups or ordinary nappies for your ds? My ds 4 is soaking every morning and have tried all brands of pull up (except Asda). Its such a hassle washing bedding daily and not very nice for him, but cant imagine he would tolerate a nappy as he is quite sensitive on the subject and we call them big boys pants as opposed to dd's nappies.

My son's nappys leaked when he was a baby... I used to buy some gauze to put in his nappy. They sell it at boots in a great big roll and you just cut a large strip out to fit in their napppys, the gauze soaks up the wee first then into the nappy.

Thanks for all your help and ideas. Have bought some Pampers Easy up Pants and if they don't do the trick I will try Asda. Thanks again.
