My ds who is 6 months old has started lying on his side or front in bed.... which has resulted in him being soaking wet through everymorning! I've tried bigger size nappies smaller size, pull ups different vests pj's gro bag no gro bag he's got a pillow under mattress to help with reflux so I've tried with and without and he still wakes up soaked! Also tried changing him in the night when he has a feed but he doesn't like it and screams cus it wakes him up, I always make sure he's pointing down wen changing nappies before bed and I use asdas little angels which I know have changed but never had this problem wen he slept on his back, so guess I'm looking for recommendations for different nappies techniques please.

Try reusable nappies as you can change the level of absorbency to suit you by adding boosters.

We have Easy Peasy Bumbles with added hemp boosters which last our son all night even now at two :)

When I had this issue it was only Lidl nappies that lasted the night.

We bought 'tena' pads 🤪 I think it was tescos own brand, 'Spirit' or something like that, about 80p for a pack of ten. Popped inside the nappy and it acted as a booster. Never a problem after that and NO other tricks worked. (Make sure it is a urine leak pad as this will draw urine away from the skin, unlike a sanitary towel). X

We change during the night and feed back to sleep. It wakes him but not for long.

Good luck! We only needed to do it while he was on just milk/early weaning. When he got to about 12 months, he still slept on his tummy every night without fail, but wasn't drinking as much liquid and therefore not wetting his night time nappy as much. Hope it works for you!
