Wetting through nappies every night

[Greenpanda22]

My 1.5 year old DD wets through her nappy every night without fail. We have tried everything; sizing up, sizing down, + absorbancy nappies, double nappies, premium brands, supermarket brands, pants, nappies, nothing works. What can we do?! Has anyone else experienced this. Only happens at night.

Have you tried absorbent inserts into nappies? You can get them on amazon, my friend used them for this issue.

No! But I will look into this, thank you. Do they go inside any nappy?

Is she night weaned?

Have you tried pull ups? I don’t know why it worked but it resolved the issue 95% of the time.

Yes, I can’t find the ones my friend recommended (we had this issue very briefly and never ended up using the ones I got)

something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bambino-Mio-Revolutionary-Reusable-Booster/dp/B0C5N85JMK/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?crid=2F8BEWTQUGRU5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wdUtVLozYdQA_QvRhJ4Vk_zYAPPtWE72Vy6aaILQ5Aw.3dw9JSK5NwSQmVTZsD4rS5EWWXTUR_eEwttdKYUO26g&dib_tag=se&keywords=absorbent+nappy+insert&qid=1793313102&rdc=1&sprefix=absorbent+nappy%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-13

Oh sorry just saw you have.
how long is the nappy on for?
are you making sure it’s all fitted right with the little flappy bits out round the legs. Does she drink too much water at bedtime?
Are her pjs loose enough- if they’re tight could they be pushing the nappy around a bit much

I didn’t get on with the inserts but pampers baby dry nappy pants worked. Sized up quite a bit though tbf.

She still has often has milk once overnight

We change her right before she goes to bed, check all the edges are pulled out. Often leaks up the front of the nappy when she sleeps on her front

Cutting out milk during the night would help to reduce the volume of wee.

Yes, and that is a process we are working on but I wanted to see if there's other things I can try whilst we cut this down

I used bamboo inserts in disposable nappies and they worked brilliantly overnight with my DS. Otherwise I was endlessly washing pyjamas and bedding.

Do you change her when she has her night feed? Or just before you go to bed? There was no way a nappy would have worked for the whole night for us by that age

We had this problem for a while and I realised after trial and error it was because the vests I was putting my son in at night weren’t loose enough. They fitted fine, but didn’t leave enough room for the nappy to expand as it got wet. Don’t know if it’s the same issue in your case but you could experiment with different sleepwear? I’ve found vest/sleepsuit are best as pjs roll up, but they need to be baggy enough to accommodate the nappy when it’s full by the morning. My son is 16 months old, breastfeeds frequently during the night (that’s another story, haven’t worked out how to reduce that yet!) but we haven’t had a leak in ages after realising the issue. He’s also in pull ups and I tend to size up if in doubt, don’t know if that helps too.

You could try an extra nappy change before you go to bed. It is possible to change a baby nappy while they're asleep although it is a bit of a challenge.

Change her again when you go to bed - that’s an essential here

Pull ups are much better for this than nappies.
I have an 18 month old and only use pull ups. I don’t use pull ups for potty training (they’re exactly the same as a nappy, they don’t help at all in potty training!)
and I know it’s easier said than done, but stop the milk at night. You might have three or so hard nights, but persevere and you should get out the other side of it.

Don’t you change her when she has overnight milk? It’s probably volume you are working against.
I think she needs a really quick changeover either before or after milk.
