Diaper leaking now that baby sleeps through the night!

My 8 month old is sleeping through the night now and in the mornings, if he didn’t get a change during the night he wakes up soaked in pee! I hate having to do so much extra laundry and of course don’t want my baby covered in pee either. He wakes up if I change him during the night so I wanna avoid this, but have been doing this lately since I don’t know what else to do. We normally use Rascal & Friends diapers. I prefer them a lot over other brands because they are wider and tend to fit my baby’s shape better. However, I tried the Rascals overnights and they SUCKED . I swear it was thinner than the regular ones and before the night was over he was drenched in pee. Yes my baby pees a lot, probably more than the average baby, but I know it couldn’t be right that he soaked an overnight diaper before the night was even over! Haven’t tried any other brands overnights like Huggies or Pampers. I’m hesitate because overnight diapers aren’t cheap and I don’t wanna waste money again on something that won’t work. Any tips?

I would recommend pampers, my baby pees a lot too but even with the pampers it will happen so I think the only solution is to change them at some point in the night, when I do and my baby wakes up I offer her some milk and she’ll go to sleep after

It’s sounds ridiculous, but what worked for us was double diapers. I used her regular costco diaper on under a rascals on, as the rascals was a little bigger and higher. I did this when my girl was 7:8 months. My girl is 9 months now and back to just an overnight diaper only, I think because she is drinking less milk, eating more solids etc.

@Adrienne I honestly never thought of this that’s a good idea

I had this exact same issue!! Not sure where you're from but we tried Huggies (absolutely terrible) little ones (absolute worst) tooshies (not bad but pricey) and rascal and friends (were good until size 3) - r&f were good for size 1 and 2 but not 3! So we had to trial again and so far CUB from Cole's for size 3 are yet to leak through 🙏🏼

I have also been told that if you buy a size up, put this over your LO's nappy they already wear the right size of to prevent leaking through overnight (I was going to try this but CUB ended up working well!)

Love Pampers Overnights!

Pampers all the way through! The baby dry ones are the ones I use for the night, never had any leaks with these and been using them since she turned size 3 x You can find them on offer most times at Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys.

@Adrienne we do this too! Double diaper and a premium brand for night time xx

This happened to us. We sized up. And also do a pull up version that we use at night as it has no taps they wouldn’t leak when she laid on her side She’s now 11 months and since doing that at 7 months I haven’t had a single leak out since

We sized up anytime there where overnight leaks and had no issues after!
