Hey all....this may be a novice mistake on my part but my dd started waking every hour to hour and half for the last few Weeks. I put it down to a growth spurt. She is.14 Weeks but as super slim we still had get in newborn nappies. Well I tried the next size up the last two nights and even thought they are huge on her the result has been four or five hours between waking. She had been reaching capacity in the smaller ones and waking damp. The sleep deprivation obviously made me miss the fact that we were up changing her more often than when she was younger. Anyway it may be a fluke but you never know!

I'm marching out to Sainsburys now to buy a huge nappy. Huge.

Pampers baby dry fixed things for us. We don't need to change nappies at night.

my 5 and a half month old tummy sleeper wakes up damp, I'd love to know the solution!

I'm on the pampers and getting longer period between waking but there's no way one nappy would last the night...she's saturated after 6 hours. Guess sleeping through 7 to 7 will forever be a dream until she's out of nappies!

I always found I needed to go for a nappy bigger than the weight limit. My DS is a 50th centile 9 month old and he's on size 5 (junior nappies) - anything smaller leaks!

Whenever we have had a night leak it's been a sign to up a size, and the problem resolves. Definitely worth a try.

Erm, when I say "I needed" it's actually DS who needed the nappy, not me Blush
