In diaper hell...

Where is everyone on the diaper front?  What are the LOs wearing?  Size, brand, day vs. night? 

E is caught in diaper hell between sizes 4 and 5.  One is too small and the other too big.  She was in Huggies, which started to leak during the day and night.  We are now trying Luvs, Pampers and Costco brand...size 4.  All seem to work better during the day but she wakes up wet in the morning.  Luckily, I have lots of spare sheets for the crib.  Is everyone on to special night diapers?

Re: In diaper hell...

  • DS wears Pampers Baby Dry. A size 4 during the day, and size 5 at night. He wets so much at night that his diaper is full to the max (and sometimes falling off because it is so heavy) by the time he wakes up in the morning. Are there special night diapers? I looked in the grocery store last weekend but I didn't see any.

  • Size 4 Huggies during the day and night and we haven't had any leaking issues.
  • Size 4 Luvs day and night. Haven't had any leaks.
  • We use size 5 Huggies snug & dry at night. I agree with @BetsyD2010‌ about doubling up. We used to do a size 4 with a 5 over it, but he grew out of the 4's.
  • Snug and Dry are the Huggies we use. Haddock sometimes wakes up with an almost completely dry diaper which I don't understand because he has constant access to his sippy.
  • We're using size 4 Target brand. But if we don't have access to Target, we usually pick up Pampers Swaddlers, same size. We don't do anything different between night and day since Noah doesn't normally pee while he sleeps.

  • We use target size 3 during the day and pampers overnight size 3 at night. DD never leaks. I just bought a case of target size 4 overnights to try since they are $10 less for the same amount of diapers then pampers. I am going to try one tonight. She is ready for the 4's so when her 3's are gone, I buying 4's.

  • Size 3 Pampers Cruisers both day and night (she sleeps 13 hours a night). No leaks or overflowing. Sorry you're having issues - I would try other brands. 
  • We use Earth's Best in size 4 (though they do run a bit small, so if you want to try them, try the 5s). Pampers leaked for us, but these guys suck up EVERYTHING. (I hadn't heard of them, and wound up getting them b/c DD hated the pampers and some lady wrote an insanely detailed Amazon review, but now I am totally a convert.)

  • To help combat some night time overflows you can cut them off from drinking about an hour or two before bed and that significantelly helps. Little sips are ok but no big sippies or bottles. Although I do know that is how many of us get our Littles to bed at night.
  • Size 4 swaddlers sensitive day and night. Weighs 26 lbs.
    size 5 honest company.

  • Thanks, Ladies!  I really appreciate the feedback!

    @casey78, thanks for the link.  I think that I will add those to my shopping list.
  • We use any brand during the day- right now Target.   At night we used to swear by Pamper's Baby Dry.  Then, he started leaking.   The Pamper's hotline recommended Swaddlers- they said those are even more absorbent.   I am finishing up a pack of Pamper's Overnights which also leak.  This next pack, I am going to try a size up in the Swaddlers.  I am getting frustrated with the leaking, but I hesitate to limit fluids because the baby is sleeping so well.

  • We currently use size 4 Pampers Cruisers 24/7.

    Have you tried doubling up overnight? Put a size 5 on top of a size 4?
  • @Bmore721, I haven't tried doubling up yet but am definitely going to give it a go tonight and see what happens.
  • Size 4 Luvs during the day; Size 4 Pampers Baby Dry over night.
  • Honest Co. size 4's for disposables.  We do a doubled up cloth at night because she was leaking every time and waking up soaked.

  • We do pampers baby dry at night for both boys (Caleb's still in a size 3, but I just bought a box of size fours so we will move him up soon). Landon is a size 5 (3 yo!). And...knock on wood...I think he is finally daytime potty trained <:-P I think the baby drys have three layers of absorbency vs. two, so I'm surprised pampers said swaddlers were more absorbent!

  • Either 3 or 4s from target. I try and keep some bigger ones on hand since Target isn't handy for us.
    Never had a problem with the target diapers.
  • Our Size 4 Pampers Cruisers overnight diapers have been leaking lately too. I have been meaning to get inserts but keep forgetting. Last night I put a second diaper (folded wrongside out) in her diaper and it worked. It was super bulky, but absorbed well and didn't leak. It was bunched up quite a bit in the morning, so I don't think it's a long term solution, but it worked.
  • Target size 3 for the day and 4 at night.

  • Size 4 snug and dry during the day. Huggies overnights for bed. He's still leaking out the top. They're not super heavy diaoers, just wet in front. :-?? So I'm at a loss over here, too.
