Night Time Diapers

MarisaKathleen · January 2013

A few things:

1. What's the difference between Overnights and Baby Dry? I'm having a really hard time finding overnight diapers in my local stores. Manx recommended Amazon, but those are specifically for Baby Dry, not the Huggies Overnights we found by a fluke at Target who no longer carried anything less than a size 2.

2. Why do people recommend going up a size for overnight diapers? N is only 13lbs 11oz. There's no way I could put her in a size 3 when she's drowning in size 2s.

3. Any of you using something other than Huggies Overnights or Pampers Baby Dry?

We ran out of overnight diapers last week and I think that's why N has been waking up at 445 everyday. Now that Target/Walgreens/Wal Mart don't carry any small sizes in overnights, I'm looking for other options.

Pampers Baby Dry are designed to be used overnight because they contract with your baby's tummy to maintain a snug fit, although the Swaddlers work just fine overnight too. People say going up a size allows it to fill up more so they sleep longer. Beb wears size one in both and sleeps for 12 hours a night so I don't see a need to size up. You can buy Baby Drys anywhere they sell pampers and they almost always have a coupon out there for them.

We use the same Pampers Swaddlers at night as we do during the day. I've been given 2 boxes of Huggies so far and they never fit DS right and I don't think they do a great job during the day of absorbing moisture, never mind at night. I might be a diaper snob, but I really like the Swaddlers.

Pampers Baby Dry isn't an overnight diaper. It's Pampers "regular" brand; Swaddlers/Cruisers are the Pampers premium brand.

Pampers does make a diaper called Extra Protection that is designed for overnight use and starts at size 3. Huggies Overnights also start at size 3. Overnight diapers start at size 3 because most babies that sleep 12 hours are big enough for size 3.

My DD was small and was still wearing a size 2 diaper when she started sleeping 12 hours at night and overflowing her regular size 2 diaper. We started putting size 3 Huggies Overnights on her and they worked perfectly. You'll never know if a size 3 diaper won't solve your overnight problem if you don't try it.

I tried putting her in Baby Dry overnight but I hat them! They just don't soak up the poo the way Swaddlers do! I just put her in her regular Swaddlers, same size and everything! She wakes up happy and everything is contained. It helps that she really only poops right when she's waking up for the day.

Yes, Pampers Baby Dry advertises that they can work up to 12 hours overnight, but they are not specifically an overnight diaper. Any diaper can potentially work up to 12 hours. (Note that Pampers also lists Cruisers as offering "up to 12 hours of leakage protection.")

Look at the link below and scroll down. You'll see all of Pampers diaper products, including Swaddlers, Cruisers, Swaddlers Sensitive, Baby Dry, and Extra Protection. The Extra Protection diapers have "25% more absorbency than Baby Dry."

I use Swaddlers (for now...going cloth next month, woot!) and I HATE Baby Dry and Cruisers. S is in a size 3 now, but I am still using up the last of his size 2s and he sleeps just fine through the night in those. He is also a heavy wetter and the Swaddlers can really fill up before they start to leak.

I retract my statement, Pampers does not make Extra Protection just not for wee beebees. A size 3 diaper would probably go up to Bebs armpits.

Pampers extra protection didn't do it for us. Huggies, however, do.

Speaking for DS1, with Aidan we are nowhere near needing this.

For a time, DS1 peed so much in his sleep that we had to use diaper doublers. Maybe that's a solution for you?

I really love the Fisher Price night diapers.....have only found them at Babies R Us, but those things hold so much pee!!

DS sleeps in Pampers Baby Dry (size 6!) and he wakes up with a wet bed 25% of the time. I'm about done with them.

numb3rMel · January 2013

wait... there's diapers that you can soak up the poop? H has started to poop in the middle of the night. I won't leave her in a dirty diaper if I know she's dirty and it always wakes her up. But there's a night diaper that, for lack of a better term, wisks poop away?

I think she may like that, even if it wakes her up, it hopefully won't irritate her as much. Hmmmm....

MarisaKathleen · January 2013

Thanks ladies! She absolutely hates being wet and when she was in the fluke night time diapers, she was much happier, not to mention sleeping til her normal time. I appreciate all of your reponses!

Mom2Mack1 · January 2013

The reason I go up a size with nighttime diapers rather than buy overnights is the cost. We were buying Huggies Overnights, and they were $20 for 52 in size 5. And, we still had leaks.

DD needs a serious nighttime diaper, she pees ALOT. I bought a box of Parent's Choice on a whim and we've been using them at night. They work great. She's in a size 4 during the day & size 5 at night in the PC brand.

The brand I use doesn't make an overnight diaper so I just size up. Works for us.
