I am sure that there is a thread on this somewhere, but I cant find it.....so am asking again! We are having a real problem with nappy leakage overnight (wee only) and the poor wee mite has been waking screaming wet and cold. Last night I had to change all the sheets right down to the bottom underblanket at 1am, whilst DH got him changed and then calmed down. Its terrible! We have recently gone up a nappy size (Huggies Walker) and these seem to fit okay, but the nappies themselves dont seem too wet. We have tried all the obvious things (like making sure his penis is pointed down!), but dont know what else to try. Any ideas? I just cant face another night of changing sheets in the middle of the night?!?!? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I had the same problem with Leah a few months ago, and she was in the huggies ones as well, I have changed to treasures ultra at ight and for a while I was putting an overnap on her as well. Leah tummy sleeps so it took a few nights of figuring what worked for us at the time. She is fine now and doesn't use the overnap anymore. -------------

We had the same trouble with Livvy in Huggies and now for overnight we use DryUps on her (internet cheapies that most of my coffee group use) and they have been great. I can bring along a few on Saturday if you want to try a few on Oli. Other than that I would only suggest a cover or overnap too. Maybe the way he sleeps is creating a gap in the nappy somehow ??? -------------
