Leaky nappies

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any tips for stopping overnight leaks? Ds is 1.5 and it seems like every time he takes a growth spurt his nappies will suddenly start leaking overnight. They are usually heavy wet in the morning, but sometimes he's still leaking when the nappy doesn't feel as full as it could be so I'm guessing its either his shape as he'll get long and skinny, or it's the absorbency level. He's not wearing a vest at the moment - just a sleepsuit so nothing too restrictive that might be causing gaps. He's in the right nappies for his weight and other brands we've tried have actually been worse. I feel like if I size up again they might be too big. Any tips or tricks? He does drink a lot at his tea (a full cup of milk and sometimes he'll ask for some water after if he's still really thirsty) but I don't want to say no because if he's thirsty he won't sleep well.

Pampers baby dry are the only ones I've found that stop my DD who's 15 months leaking overnight. The ones with the stop pocket on the back. She drinks so much during the day. X

Different brand? Double up on nappies at night? Puppy pad for children under the sheet at night

Pampers baby dry nappy pants for my 14 month old. He’s been in them since 9 months (albeit the night time pants until they recently discontinued them) but I’ve never had a leak. I’ve always sized up early too, he in size 5 now. They do some good offers on them so with a try.

Pampers baby dry work for me too for my 2 year old DD who is also tall and skinny. I have also taken to changing her nappy right before getting into bed as she often does a wee in between getting changed after bath and actually getting into bed (it usually takes at least 30 min or more to read books and convince her it’s time for sleep).

Pampers premium protection. The pull up kind, not the tab nappies. Size up, even if it's just for his night time nappy.
