Night-time diaper for 8 month old??

Question

I have tried several different diapers for night-time with my 8 month old daughter. She wakes up every morning with her pajamas wet because the diaper leaked. The most recent was Huggies Supreme Gentle Care. I've also tried Pampers Swaddlers. Does anyone use a diaper that can withstand going 9-10 hours without leaking???

Answer 1

Huggies Overnites........
they are the BEST. I had the same problem......my daughter was about 7 months when she started the super soaker routine. and I did NOT want to wake her up during the middle of the night. So I tried the overnights. they are more expensive then regular diapers, but you only use one per night, so it is totally worth it. They come in sizes 3, 4, and 5.
My daughter is in a size 3 diaper, but I put her in size 4 overnites. My sis told me to get a bigger diaper for at night, so I did the combination....I bought Overnights AND made them a size bigger. she has been dry ever since. And those diaper weigh a ton it the morning. She sleeps 10 to 11 hours every night. And she is 10 months, so she pees alot. They don't even roll up, they are so full of pee. try them......

(and they do not cause diaper rash because the pull the moisture away from the skin. There is NO reason to wake the poor baby up in the middle of the night for a diaper change. I work in a nursing home. I am quite used to keeping butts free from skin-breakdown)

if you want, I can mail you 1 or 2 diapers so you can try them before you buy them.........email me.

Answer 2

Try Huggies Overnights diapers. They come in sizes 3-5 are are specifically made to be used for bedtime. Going up one size from what your daughter wears during the day should also help. I've never seen them before but I've heard good things about Diaper Doublers, which is like a maxi pad that goes inside the diaper to increase the absorbancy. Some people swear by them.

Answer 3

Try a larger size. It seems to always solve the leaking problem. That said my 18 month old is in a size 6 and I still change him during the night (sometimes several times). He won't sleep in a wet diaper, nor do I want him too.

I would think any brand that could go that long without changing would cause a rash, right? He's never had a diaper rash.

Answer 4

Huggies Gentle care only comes in size n,1,2. I hope she is at least in 3's. My son uses Huggies Supreme Natural Fit. They come is size 3-6. Maybe she needs a bigger size. Most babies grow out of diapers before the weight scales on the bag.

Answer 5

I use Huggies overnights on my 8 month old son, they are good. I'm surprised the swaddlers leaked, they are great for me. Maybe it's the wrong size? Any diaper I use, when he is wet, he never wakes up either. He likes his sleep.

Answer 6

I hated huggies---I heard they are great for boys but bad for girls (something about where they have the most padding?) The person who said try the next size up is right though and that may in itself solve the problem.

Answer 7

Put a diaper cover over it..They are water proof. You can get them at Walmart where they sell the infant cloth diapers.. usually around the bottom shelf.
Make sure you change her right before she goes to bed...
Or you can buy these diaper inserts... they look like maxi pads( or you can just slap a maxi pad in there) for extra absorption. :)

Answer 8

I am very surprised this baby is not waking up during the night to let you know that the diaper is full before it over loads. My suggestion to you is to set your alarm at abour 5 hours into her sleeping and wake her up to change her. Sorry , but i think that is the only way.

Answer 9

some kids have a Balder problem. that can cause recessive peeing. the only Dipper i use is Luvs. there guarantied not to leak. if u don't like them u can get Ur money back. there the best Dipper i have found out there. they seam to cover more areas like the butt and the front side.

Answer 10

Try using the next size up from what she is wearing during the day.

I think there's somthing called "Overnights" but I've never tried them
