Night-time nappy can't take the strain!

[hayleybayley]

My 2 and a half year old is weeing so much during the night that he is totally soaked through every single morning. This is waking him up and he likes to climb into bed with us at 6am - not pleasant in the first place never mind that he is soaking and smelling of wee!! I am currently using Tesco size 6 nappies but these are obviously not up to the task - does anybody have any suggestions or recommendations?
Thanks

try not giving him a drink after 5pm?

or you use pull ups and do a night time trip to the loo

like say, at 11pm or just before you go to bed

its easier to change a pull up on a half sleeping child

Thanks for the suggestion but the problem is that firstly, he isn't even remotely interested in toilet training when he is awake, never mind when half asleep and he can't (and won't!)go to bed without having several drinks. I think what I'm really after is an industrial strength nappy if such a thing exists!

you could go into his room and change his nappy before you go to bed

Hi there- maybe not the solution you were after but have you thought about cloth? Even a basic terry sqare (or two if he's a mega wetter!) with plastic pants- would cost about the same amount as one pack of nappies and may encourage him to train as well! Then just chuck it in the wash and use it again and again! a pack of a dozen sqaures will set you back about a tenner, plastic pants are pennies- just an idea???

We have this sometimes. Do you think the nappy may be too big? My ds is nearly 4 and a 5 fits him fine. Sometimes if they are too big they leak more even though you think it would hold more. Do you know what I mean?
I think nailpolish's idea of changing it before you go to bed is a good idea.

My DS was the same at this age. He did grow out of it. I think I cut down his drinks after 6 pm ish which helped a bit. Also used pull ups

Yes meant to say my ds is in pull ups.

oh and also check his willy is pointing straight down and not to side or up! Also check again at your bedtime in case of movmement!

we have had the same problem and i have to say huggies are the best9tried and tested every brand ) at holding the wee in either the super flex or the pull ups

also if ds has had alot to drink before bed i just put him a fresh nappy on when we go up to bed
hope that helps

my cousin had this with her DTS's. she tried morrisons, somerfield, asda, tesco, sainsburys, boots, superdrug, pampers, huggies and in the end the only ones which lasted the night were aldi!!
