Leaking nappies overnight

[Tinseltotties]

5month old has started sleeping longer stretches at night but every morning I’m finding they’ve wet through. It’s cold and I really don’t want them in soggy clothes but I’m also loathed to wake them up when they’re finally sleeping a bit. I’ve tried going up a size in nappies, and it helped for a couple of days but now it’s started again. Any advice? Any nappy recommendations?

We had this same issue, as did my friend and annoyingly only solution was to buy more expensive pampers nighttime pull up nappies for over night and use cheaper ones in the day.

This happened to me and sizing up didn’t work like it had done previously. Ended up trying pampers baby dry pull up pants for overnight and had no more leaks 😊

We just put two nappies or pull ups on, literally one on top of the other and this works a dream. We tend to use the cheaper brand nappies with this method to keep the costs down.

Agree with others - pull ups over night solved this for us!

Pull ups had the opposite effect. May be obvious but you've check their vest isn't too tight and squeezing the nappy?

This probably sounds a bit odd but I bought cheap incontinence pads in Tesco (80p a pack or something like that!) and added one into the nappy at night. Solved the leaking issue. They must be incontinence pads though ie designed to soak up urine (not sanitary pads!!)

Had this with my first and now with my second. Is it cold in baby’s room? My baby’s radiator wasn’t working and it kept happening at 4-5am. Now it’s fixed and warm she’s sleeping too 6-7 and less wet. Still happening a bit even with pampers nappies so not completely sure of the answer but I’d check the temp, use pampers nappies. And if big enough switch to pampers nappy pants. That solved it with my son but my baby atm isn’t big enough for them xx

Someone told me to size up babies vest overnight so the nappy has room to expand properly. It's made a huge difference to us.

We had this issue with our DD at about the same age. We used a thinner nappy with a thicker nappy over the top and tighter leggings/pyjamas bottoms to keep them in place. Seemed to do the trick then didn't last long. Pampers also worked quite well but we're very expensive and still had some leaks.

Agree with @VeeAye, sizing up on the vest stopped leaks for us. My 5 month old has been in 6-9 vests for a while now. The poppers on the 3-6 being quite close to his body meant that when his nappy was expanding, it was pushing the pee up and out the nappy

Just wanted to be thank everyone, I tried two nappies but baby wasn’t keen, i might’ve done it wrong, but then I went for pampers pull ups and so far we are leak free!

We used Tesco pull up pants as the night time nappies from when DS could roll over in the cot, and never had issues with leaky nappies at night after that.
