Dry and Sleeping through the Night

snoopy4283 · July 2013

My LO is 8 months old and is a fairly good sleeper. Since she was about 10 weeks old she sleeps from about 8p until 3a, we feed her at 3a and then she sleeps from 3:30 until 7. I feel like waking up once through the night is not terrible in the scheme of other stories I have heard.

We have had a few weeks where she has slept entirely through the night and I think she would probably be more successful with this but she leaks through her diaper. I have tried switching her to a larger diaper at night and it helps, most of the time.

Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to keep her dry through the night? I realize she will have a wet diaper but the wet onesies need to stop so we can all get a full nights rest!

2nd vote here for Huggies Overnite in a size up. And this is coming from someone who uses cloth during the day! Our LO goes 12+ hours in that diaper with no leaks.

We use Huggies Overnights too. Haven't had a problem since.

We also use huggies overnights in a size up. We are on our 3rd kid and they have worked for all 3! Now, if the overnight diaper is still not cutting it, add a pad to the diaper. Really, it works. They make super thin extra absorbant ones now (they didn't have such great ones 6 years ago with my first DD), so they won't bother the baby but will absorb the extra pee so you don't have leaks!
