5 week old having big wees!

The last two nights my 5 week old DS has been doing big wees which go through his vest and sleepsuit and onto crib sheet. Last night we had three complete outfit changes! 😩 He is wearing Pampers Premium Dry Sensitive nappies (Aldis ones gave him nappy rash). He was in size 1 so I bought him size 2 yesterday but tonight we're having the same problem. I always point his willy down and make sure all the nappy frills are out etc. I'll never get him sleeping through the night if the damn nappies only last a couple of hours! What am I doing wrong? I've resorted to putting a cloth nappy waterproof outer over his nappy now hoping that will contain it?? 🙈

We use Pampers baby dry over night too. We were always changing nappies in the night when he was little in case that was what was upsetting him! He's now just turned 2 and has only been sleeping through for the last two or three months so don't worry about the sleeping through thing at 5 weeks !

Just a little update - we've been using our cloth nappies at night with a booster pad which have been much more successful than the disposables. Today I ordered some fleece liners which should help make him more comfortable. The downside with the cloth nappies and booster is they are so bulky and I'm having to dress him in oversized sleep suits but hey ho at least we're not having to do numerous outfit/sheet changes every night!

Glad it's working out for you! Smile

I found some pjs on John Lewis which are like a vest at the top but then have an elasticated bottom rather than legs which are great for cloth overnight and for changing generally. Think they might be called bundlers or something? And I think the nappy lady also sells them if the oversized sleepsuits are just too big!

@teaandbiscuitsforme Thanks for that, they sound great Smile

Little legend slept from 12:40am til after 6 today!! Should think it's a one off but God it's good to get some sleep Grin

Sounds like the dream! Hope he manages it again sometime soon. My DS had a temperature last night so I'm more than a bit jealous of your sleep!

Wait, the frills should be out? I always tuck them in!

@NotTheBelleoftheBall yes I'm pretty sure they're meant to be out! 🙈
