Night time nappy

Hi

My 4y old is in nappies during the night. In the last 2 weeks her nappy leaks every single night. We have tried getting her to see before bed(which may not work everytime), and gone up a size. It wakes her and us up so early(like now!).

Does anyone know of any extra layer etc that we could use?

Thanks

Waker her up when you go to bed and get her to wee in a potty - she'll be so dopey if you keep the light off, do it all very quietly, that she'll go straight back to sleep.

What size is she in, now? By that age, both of mine were pretty much outgrowing the biggest pampers etc.

I use the bedtime pants for my Ds he is 7 and still not dry in the night he is a peeing machine, his nappy is full to bursting by morning and has leaked many a time. I have tried everything, no drinking after 6pm getting him up in the night, constant sheet changing. I now use a bed mat from brollysheets.co.uk it's amazing. Not sure how to stop the actual leakage from nappy though so guess this isn't much help. Good luck !

Have you spoken to your HV about seeing someone from the incontinence service? You can get better pads through Tena.

Hello,

Another 4 year old who uses the Libero size 7 pull ups. We get them online from Tena, it's free and very quick delivery.
The nappies are really soft and comfy. We contacted Tena before we bought any and they went us a few free samples in various sizes and types (pull ups/normal fastening) so that we could be sure we were getting the correct type.
