My 15 month old daughter has been having poopy diapers that leak every morning. It is like she poops as soon as she wakes up and her diaper is already full plus her stool has always been a little on the runny side. So, every morning for the past week and half the poop leaks out the back of the diaper and around the legs. I have tried Huggies Overnight diapers and also moved up a size and that didn't work.
I asked her pediatrician about the soft stool and she said as long as it wasn't frequent it wasn't an issue. (It is not frequent; she poops 2-3 times a day and usually not after the early afternoon.)
Is there anything I can do about the morning leaks? She sleeps for 12 hours so I know that is a long time for a diaper to last but I don't really want to have to wake her in the middle of the night or early morning but am tired of doing laundry every morning!
Try overnight diapers. My boys were always soaking thru regular diapers at night. Also I agree, she may have allergies.
Maybe you could try a pull up? Some of the pull up sizes are quite small and that might work. I know you have already tried to go up a size, maybe try up another size just for nighttime use?? Does your little one drink juice? We realized apple juice was the culprit behind our lo's blow out diapers at night. NO FUN. If u find a solution, please let us other mama's know.
Are you sure that's when she's pooping? Early in the a.m.? I don't think kids poop in their sleep so figure out when it's happening and try to change her right away.
I used to be the master of middle-of-the-night diaper changes--my son never even woke up 99% of the time.
I agree with middle of the night changes, also you could try moving up to the next size diaper. I had to do that with my older one for night because he would pee so much that he would often leak even if I changed him at night.
I, too, had to do a midnight diaper change. Not even midnight, but more like 10:30 when I went to sleep. I'd often find the diaper was full of #1 already so that alleviated the issue.
My son used to wake up with the bed soaked in the morning. So I started changing his diaper before I would go to sleep at night. I don't wake him up just grap the diaper and quickly change. That might be an option for you. No need to inconvenience yourself waking up in the middle of the night or waking her up.
if you have her in a two piece pj set change her around 3am if you can remember. I know its a pain but it will help. If she wakes just hold her for a few and lay her back down. My dd has been doing the same thing, about twice a week. I found changing her late at night has helped alot. gl.
you shouldn't have to wake her just change her diaper once when u get up to go potty during the night so when she does go its not real full
We use Fisher Price overnight diapers. The are only sold at BRUs 5.99 for 20 size 3. We have tried them all and this is the only one my daughter didn't pee thru in her 12 hr sleep. They are the best on the market. Hope it helps.
We had this happening with my son since he was about 5 months old (not EVERY night, but just about) and his was with urine. He would sleep from 9:00 at night until 7 or 8 the next morning and would wake up completely soaked. We switched him to the next size up in diapers, changed him before I went to bed (at midnight or so) and also used the plastic diaper covers. Each of these things worked great on their own. I think in your instance, the plastic pants might work the best. What I did with my son was I bought four pair of them. I would wash and rinse and let them air dry for a day, so this way I had enough of them to alternate. These also work WONDERS when your little one has a stomach bug and has diarreah. It keeps their clothes from being destroyed and while its still kind of a mess to clean, at least its a smaller mess.
This was an exact post I had when my son was 4 months old. Basically the only thing that helped was switching to cloth diapers. I know it's not for everyone, but it's help soooo much. The ONLY TWO TIMES he's had a blow out since switching was when he was sick and was PURE watery poop.
I like cloth just because of how much money I save with them, but since you are so close to probably potty training you could do just night time CDing. It's well worth it. If you'd like any info you can personal message me or you can check out my blog

I'm wondering if she has food allergies. Really pay attention to what she is eating, and what days she has the loose stool. You may be able to remove the offender from her diet.
Maybe try putting 2 diapers on her or the plastic training pants over her diaper.
