My 6 month old would sleep longer if his nappy was more absorbent. It is sodden and leaks at about 4am. Any recommendations for a super absorbent nappy please........

Thanks

disposable or re-useable?

If disposable then put a wrap over the top (i.e. the type you use with a reusable)

Try a larger size than he wears during the day.

If using reusables and he is a "heavy wetter" then his bum will look huge potentially with added boosters etc.

Always found Pampers Baby Dry the best at night - go up a size often works

We found pull ups seemed to leak less than ordinary disposables.

I think it depends on the baby - for DS (who would wet through up to twice a night until he was about 6 months old) we found Tesco's own brand the best. For DD have found Pampers Baby Dry to be the best (although she has only wet through on a couple of occasions), but when she did, we just moved up a size, although she was still within the weight range on the packet, but she is a long baby.

Go up a size and put a shaped male incontinence pad in. Works like a dream.
