DD is wet from toes to neck at night..HELP

[sunandmoon]

We use Motherease cloth nappies during the day and did nightime until about 3 months ago. She was soaking wet in the morning so we decided to use the Pampers night time one. But no success, she is so wet that since about Christmas she wakes up because she is cold (not surprisingly!!!). Please we need any advice... she is 18 months old, about 13 kgs... she drinks huge amount of water during the day (about 1.5 litre a day!) so we already stopped her to drink from 5 o'clock... she is in bed at 06h30pm.
Thank you for advice...

I don't think so, we usually make sure that there is no gap at all around waist and legs. So it is very tied around her. Would you know which size we should buy?

When you say you use night time nappies, are they "proper" nappies or are they the pyjama pants type ones? We found those were hopeless with a heavy wetter, because they're designed for night-time "training" rather than for a child who still needs a nappy overnight.

Try a different brand of nappy, see whether there's any difference. We found that Tescos own brand (not the value ones) were better than any others we tried.

Thanks WWB, I would try the Tesco one... I am ready to try any nappies at the moment!!!

Tots Bots size 2 with Mother-ease airflow wraps (Large). Make sure the nappy is completely covered by the wrap. Works for us and my dd is 3y.

I would put an extra booster in your motherease and a fleece liner - or put a wrap over your disp. Or a super absorbent nappy -like totsbots or ellas house bumhuggers.

Don't know about disps really so couldn't advise on brands.

If you are wanting to go back to washables for night, I'd suggest the following:

1. get hold of hemp or bamboo (wambamboo, baby beehinds hemp or bamboo are both excellent)

2. boost with hemp fleece or terry and do it between nappy and wrap so that the leg elastic on the nappy doesn't bulge allowing leaks

3. make sure your wrap is big enough, it should be puffier than a day wrap so that air can circulate so you may need to size up (DS is still in large ME wraps during the day but XL at night)

4. switch to wool wraps, they work so much better than PUL, they only need to be washed about once a fortnight (or a month if you are lazy like me) and lanolised once a month. the Popolini popper wool wrap is a great starting point as it hasn't had all it's lanolin stripped out.

Lord, that sounds very perscriptive BUT it does work for me and I had to give up on disposables at night cos they just could handle things

oops, meant they couldn't handle things (DOH!)

Thank you for all the details... we are in need of a full night sleep in our household so I would try any nappies...
