Nighttime nappy issues

For the last 1.5 weeks when my son wakes in the night and I go in he’s wet.hes 4.5 months and between 7.5-8 kg.

His nappy isn’t super full, and it’s always out his left side/back.

We always make sure the back is up, sides pulled out and penis is down. We went up to a size 4 a few weeks back and thought it was that and maybe they were to big, so went back down to a size 3 and he didn’t do it for a few nights but now he’s started again and it’s creeping earlier in the night. He can go 8-11 hrs but woke at 1.30 and started to cry and knew it was because he was wet because it was so early in the night for him.

We use pampers dry nights. And also make sure his bodysuit isn’t too tight so doesn’t dig into nappy.

What are we doing wrong? Any tips to stop it happening? Never had this issue with my daughter.

Sorry are these pull up pants? Switching to nappy pants worked for us. Seems to have more capacity/tolerates movement

Try nappy pants, particularly if he is a side sleeper - Tesco's own worked well for our heavy wetter DS.

If this doesn't solve it, you can also consider using a cloth nappy booster inside a disposable nappy too as that increases absorbency.
