my son is leaking through his diaper at night any suggestions?

Answer 1

I use cloth, I just bulk them up before bed. But for diposables, I've heard that some stores carry a pad (kinda like a maxi pad) that you can put in the diaper for night time, maybe babies r us has it?

Answer 2

You need to make sure he isn't drinking too much before bed. If that's not the problem, then you can actually buy diaper inserts. They look like large maxi pads, and you just put them in the diaper. I used those all the time when my son was little. No matter what I did, he still leaked, even with the best diapers on the market. The inserts helped tremendously, and limited how many diaper changes I had to do in the night. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

I have 2 girls and we just had our son 4 months ago each child had different types of diapers you have to find the right one that works for your son our ped said to always make sure his Lil penis is pointing down and use the next size up diaper (which is opp for girls you use the smallest you can fit) look at the lbs on the package and always step up. So we switched diapers brand (Pampers swaddlers and cruisers worked for our son), moved up a size, and made sure everything points south and we have not had a single leak since...knock on wood :)

Answer 4

Don't give any liquids at least two hours before bedtime. Put on a thicker diaper at night too...not store brand. With diapers, you get what you pay for. I use Pampers Cruisers on my daughter. She sleeps 12 - 14 hours at night and wakes up DRY!!

Answer 5

try a more absorbant diaper and change him more often. i use pampers baby dry with flex fit and usually dont have to change my son at all through the night. he sleeps very well at night so i needed something really absorbant so i wouldnt have to wake him if he started to leak. its also a really good diaper because it helps with diaper rash

Answer 6

Limit drinking after 5pm...try a larger size diaper. I use pampers at night for the same reasons. My son gets a drink for dinner,and then one before bed. We have now stopped leaks in the night.

Answer 7

try a different kind of diaper.. how old is he? if hes a newborn.. the pampers swaddlers work awesome, and then they go up to cruisers that are really bendy.. huggies stink.. and so do parents choice, and luvs.. he might be outgrowing the one hes in now.. and remember to point his penis down when ur changing him, that way its harder to get a leak out

Answer 8

I had that problem too. Make sure that his diaper is dry when you lay him down. You could try a bigger size at night, or a different brand. My son could never were huggies, try pampers.

Answer 9

buy a better diaper? i have been using white cloud( walmart beand),diapers for the last 2 1/2 yrs. or hussies work very well. and try not to use luvs they just suck. when you change his diaper try to point his thingy down that might help?

Answer 10

Try pampers Cruisers.
or huggies overnights.
a bigger diaper might not fit him and may increase the risk of leaking.
