Toddler nappy to last through the night?

Any recommendations for a night nappy for my 2.5 year-old? We’ve been using Kit & Kin but are now getting a leak about once a week. Thanks.

Pampers actifit nappy pants.

Thanks. Are they fragranced at all? Sorry, should have asked this before. I’m pregnant and fragrance triggers my nausea.

Pull ups!

Yes to Pampers!

Ecooriginals are really good

Danikm151 · 30/11/2022 17:06

No fragrance and my son has very sensitive skin and no irritation from them.

pants are better than the nappies because they allow for wriggling around 😁

the Sainsburys own nappy pants ones were always the best ones for us at night.

Yes to pampers too! Not the pull ups though. My DS 3.5 is no where near being dry at night and was leaking every night in all sorts of pull ups.

I'd recommend Pura nappies and pull ups

GAH3 · 30/11/2022 22:40

Pampers night nappy pull ups

newmum0604 · 01/12/2022 00:12

Rascal & Friends pullups

Lidl nappies and pull up were so thick and reliable for us 👍🏼 never leaked

Amazon mama bear

Amazon Mamma Bear nappies and pull ups are great. Slim fitting, but super absorbent.

Nappy manufacturers want you to buy, but night nappies are teaching your child to wet themselves in their sleep. Years ago there were no such things.
I did this - When I go to bed, I took DS to the loo. I set an alarm to get him up in the night. In no time he was dry through the night. Its painful and tiring, but not as painful as teaching them that its OK to wee in bed.

Many thanks for coming back to respond to this. I’ve just ordered some.

I hear you. I am struggling too much with the pregnancy however to be able to consider doing anything like this currently so I’m afraid it’s going to have to be the modern way of nappies for now.

@Tomthumb2005 this is rubbish, there's a hormone that determines whether children wet in their sleep. Eventually they do it when the biology is right.
Yes, years ago children used to be out of nappies at night earlier, they were also scolded and shamed for something they couldn't help. And their parents spent a lot of time doing laundry and drying out mattresses.
At the more extreme end, children used to have their faces rubbed in the sheets to teach them a lesson.
Children do need to get the hang of going without nappies at night but you can't teach them to wee in their sleep and I'm not sure that setting alarms for yourself every night is a good idea for anyone. Doctors aren't worried about night wetting until kids are upper end of primary school, op's child is 2.5.
I've always found Aldi cheap and reliable, op.

Fabulous this worked for you but absolute nonsense. What a way to put down parents whose children aren't dry through the night, as if they are too lazy

I find the Tesco own nappy pants superb and great value.
