Nappies leaking

My 20 month old is leaking every night to the point I’m having to wash his bedding everyday!!! He is so so wet in a morning, his PJs are too. He has a 6+ pampers for bed, I’ve also tried Asda and Sainsbury’s with no luck it still happens.

Any other suggestions pleaseee?

Try going up a size? Also pop a pad on his bed x

Putting a pad in is a good suggestion. Have you tried a waterproof wrap over the top too?

How big is your 20 month old? My daughter is 2.5 and is in size 5s. She is 13kg and is around 50th centile. Is it possible the nappies are too big?

Edited to add I don't mean that to sound patronising, just that with nappy leaks everyone says to size up but sometimes that is the problem. I find pampers premium protection are the most absorbant for night time.

I was going to post something similar, it's much more likely they are too big than too small which is why they are leaking.

Is he particularly large for his age? It may be that the 6s are too large. Try a 5+. The “+” denotes higher absorbency. The 5 / 5+ are the same size.
If the size 6 are too big, then they will leak around the legs / waist.

Peaches. They're more expensive but it's worth it for no blowouts or leaks
