Wet Baby

18 replies

JasonGideon · 09/02/2019 08:32

My four month DD is wet every morning. She sleeps about 12 hours and I don’t want to wake her to change her. Can anyone recommend a nappy that will last while she is asleep? We normally use Nutmeg or Aldi but are currently using Little Angels.
TIA :)

To be honest I'd probably just try and change her halfway through the night. Nappies day 12 hours but they aren't great for that and a quick change is better than a rash

Can't you change her about 4 hours in? Will she not settle?

I always found Tesco nappies were good for staying dry though

Pampers baby dry always lasted 12 hours for us.

Little angels have a plus (+) option. These are extra absorbent but the same size as the regular ones.

You could try doubling up. Put a pull up for a bigger child over the nappy.

I would probably just change her I bet she doesn’t wake up. No need to wipe just put a new nappy on. Maybe put her in pyjamas so easy to change?

Pampers worked best for us, are you sure you are using the right size?

JellycatElfie · 09/02/2019 08:38

You need pampers - they’ll stay as dry as possible

TeddyIsaHe · 09/02/2019 08:40

Are you definitely using the right size? Dd goes all night without being wet when she wakes up. Pampers or Tesco nappies here

Little lamb reusables in bamboo

Linused to get dh to do a last thing at night change. DS always slept through dh changing him but would wake up if I did it!!

starfishmummy · 09/02/2019 08:51

I used not Linused

She's only 4 months old...you've got to change her during the night. I know some nappies say 12 hours but I've never been able to actually leave my DS in a nappy that long without it leaking.

SoyDora · 09/02/2019 09:11

LordPickle I’ve never changed any of mine overnight past the first couple of weeks. No leaks, no nappy rash...

JasonGideon · 09/02/2019 09:15

It’s only been the last five days. Sorry I didn’t make that clear in my OP. Thanks for all the ideas.

If she's wearing a vest underneath her sleepsuit make sure it's not too snug against the nappy as when full that can cause it to leak. Try the next size vest as a test?

Nothing worse than waking a baby half way through the night esp if sleeping through. As soon as baby was sleeping through we had to make a change from Aldis. Asda’s little angels were awful for us- very leaky- ended up throwing a whole pack away. Tesco’s were okay, but still leaked occasionally. Sainsbury’s have been brilliant for us- used them since about six months and he’s over a year now- not one leak ever! I do think different nappies work for different babies though as somewill say Asda’s are amazing and Sainsbury’s teeeible.

whatsnewchoochoo · 09/02/2019 11:18

Never had to change a pampers nappy in the night, they always last 12 hours

Willow4987 · 09/02/2019 20:37

I’d say try the next size up in Aldi as we haven’t had this problem

When my DS was between sizes I used pampers as they’re sizing is slightly bigger (weight wise) so I found these good to get me through until he was ready for the next Aldi size
