My daughter is 13 months old and drinking 8 ounces at a time and she sleeps through the night 10-11 hours a night. She is an absolute joy. She is waking up lately during the night or an hour earlier than usual wet, sometimes soaked and miserable. Does anyone have any advice on a more absorbant diaper for nights? She is currently in size 3 Pampers Cruisers, they fit well not too snug or too loose. You advice and help is much appreciated.

So What Happened?

Well we tried the Huggies last night, it was a major improvement but she was still a little damp at the waist. She sleeps on her tummy mostly so all the liquid goes to the front. Thank you everyone for your advice, I will try everyones suggestions and figure out which one works best for us.

I agree with Leslie- Huggies overnights but they start in size 4 which is fine for even my 5 month old!
Good Luck

My son (14 months) was waking up in the morning with wet pajamas and bedding. So I started to use pampers during the day and switched to Huggies nighttime diapers for when he goes to bed for the night. Ever since I've switched to the nighttime diapers his diapers are full when he wakes up but his pajamas and bed are dry. Hope this is of help.

We have tried a couple of things for our son. But the best thing for us is Pampers size 6. He is in a size 4. It works really good. I have also tried the Huggies overnight and they work well too.
My friend has used the diaper inserts. They look like maxi pads. She buys them at babies r us. You have to ask because they usually don't have them out.
I would try maybe a size five diaper. They will look huge but they will do the trick.
Good Luck.

Hello! You know, I have 3 kids and out of the 3, two of them wet through every night. They have overnight diapers that work great, but for me, the ones that I liked the best were Luvs. I mean it. And if that does not work, get some diaper liners. I am not sure you can get them in a regular store but I know you can online. You just insert them in the diaper to help with that. I hope this helps. I know what that is like when they wake up soaked. UGH!

Go a size bigger or get the Huggies overnight diapers. Both worked for us.

Hi C.,

With both my kids I use Huggies Overnights diapers. Unfortunately, they have become increasingly hard to find. But, they've worked well, with only a couple of exceptions. I hope that helps...I know what you're going through!

Not long ago, we had this problem with both our kids. A friend suggested using one diaper size bigger for overnight. It's worked great ever since and isn't an overly expensive idea.

It doesn't hurt to try more than one approach. The diaper liners are great to have on hand in case you should run out of the overnighters or the next bigger size. Plastic training pants over the diaper will help if they are a good fit. Try not to give her too many liquids after a certain our, say one to two hours before bedtime. Once you start potty training her, you can get her up for a small drink and a potty break halfway through the night. And if you can find them, those bedliners will save your sanity and laundry load. :o)

Pampers cruisers are great during the day. But we had the same problem, at night my son and his bed would be soaked. Huggies overnights solved the problem for us. I have never had one leak yet. I can only find them at Target.

Whenever this happened with my daughter, we put her in the next size up at night only and she stopped leaking.

I had that same problem. 1. Put her in almost any brand's size 4s at night. I use one size larger at night (unless she just went up to that size) and no longer have these problems. 2. you can set up her crib with mattress pad, sheet, another mattress pad and another sheet. That way if there is a soaking, you can pull up the top layer, throw it aside (no turning the light on to change the sheet), change your daughter and get her back to bed faster. But if you do the larger diaper, you shouldn't have that problem.

we're having the same problem & also are pampers cruisers users generally. but try the new huggies overnights for nighttime & naptimes. they seem to work really well. we still have a few nights of soaked pjs and bedding, but it was happening almost daily with the pampers--sometimes twice a night.

As one of the previous responses said below, I use Huggies Overnites diapers for my daughter too (she is 13 1/2 months old). They work awesome!!! I believe that one of the responses below said that they start at size 4, but they do actually start at size 3. However, size 3 overnites can be tricky to find in stores. I have really only seen them at Babies R Us. If you can't find them there, try drugstore.com.
