hi my son is 17 months old and keeps waking up with a leaky nappy all over his clothes and bed i use pampers nappies but for some reason they arent absorbing very well he is on the junior ones to ?? i really dont know what to do ? any thoughts ?

I had exactly the same problem with my son, unfortunately boys tend to wee more during the night than girls and i never managed to find a nappy that would allow him to go through the whole night dry for a while. He also used to drink an awful lot and so i had to start restricting his intake. The only way i managed to get him thru the night was to get up and actually change him, it never woke him up so his sleep was not disturbed. I know it is very annoying especially as you have probably just gotten used to sleeping all night yourself. All i can say is that it will improve and just try restricting liquids before bedtime. Anyway, hopefully someone else will come along with a solution and then i will kick myself because i didnt know it sooner . Mine has just come out of anything at night and has done about 8 weeks dry.....was begining to wonder if that would ever happen as his twin sister has been dry at night since she was 3. Anyway good luck.

Hi hun maybe try a nappy wrap over the top of it that you can wash and this should protect his clothes and the bedding too. xx

One thing I started to do when Conner would leak through at night was to buy diapers one size bigger than he normally wears and put that diaper on him before he goes to bed. It has always worked for him. Yes, the daiper seems way too big but it does the trick and he sleeps all night long and wakes up dry in the morning. Then I put his regular sized daiper on him through the day. The larger daipers last longer because I only use one per day. I hope this helps.

The same thing happened to my ds last year. I moved him up to the next size and switched to Huggies. They are more 'elastic' and he never wet through after that.
