poo-poo leaking out almost every morning?

Question

my son is 13 months old and weighs 21 and a half pounds...i put him to bed at 6 pm and before i go to bed around 11pm....i change his diaper for the night and for the past 2 weeks...not everyday but it seems like it...he is leaking out of them with poo-poo...today it was up his back...he wears pampers cruisers at night, size 3...i am wondering if i should put him in huggies overnights size 4...they dont have the overnights in size 3...anybody have this problem???

i agree with emrobs so far...my son goes to bed at 6 pm as he is a horrible napper

Answer 1

Uh...whoever said 6pm is early obviously doesn't have a horrible napper!! I put my child down at 6:30 and he sleeps all night! Anyway off my rant....yes, my son has had this problem before and I just bought the larger size(he wears cruisers too)for when he sleeps. Also, be sure to put on a lot of cream(I like Dr. Smiths best) b/c my son got an aweful rash from sitting in his poo too long one night. You could try the overnights 4 but I think they'll be way too big and defeat the purpose....at least with the actual diapers you can pull those sticky tabs tight. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

When that starts happening, it's recommended to move to the next size up in the same diaper. Other than that, changing him before you go to bed is a good idea.

The reason for sticking to the same kind of diaper is some babies have sensitive skin and switching diapers can cause a diaper rash. (I have two of those kiddos.) It's probably that he's just getting to big for his diaper. Making the switch to Cruisers 4 should help.

I had that EXACT problem every time both of my daughters was getting to the cutoff point to go up to the next size. Good luck!!

Answer 3

Putting him to bed at 6 pm is rather early. He must be getting up at 4-5 in the morning! Anyway, regarding the poo problem, it seems as though he is having some loose stools. He may have a bug.
