| Switched from Pampers to Huggies. They work better. |
| I have not used diapers for 5 years but I always used huggies overnights on my kids. I could use any diaper during the day for them but it had to be huggies at night. |
| Is everyone in this forum of drugs? It's a fact not opinon that Pampers are more absorbent then Huggies per every individual competing diaper. If you want to be cheap about it then by all means buy Huggies. Pampers overnight diaper works great and even Pampers swaddlers is excellent. But instead of searching for a diaper that absorbs more get yourself up sometime in the middle of the night, be a parent, and change the diaper. Even if you have the most absorbent diaper theres nothing better than a fresh dry feel of aclean diaper. Practicing this method almost completely eliminates the possiblility of diaper rash. |
| NP here. DS is 14 mo and 25 lbs. I use Huggies Overnite size 6 (size up from daytime diapers) and they barely contain his pee. I don't think they make them any larger. Not sure what to do when he outgrows this. Does it get better when he drops the bedtime bottle?? I'm going to try the inserts, but otherwise I'm not sure what to do. |
I think maybe YOU are on drugs. Most babies are completely fine with sleeping in a single diaper overnight. Sure, if the kid had a history or outbreak of diaper rash, you'd want to change more frequently, but even then, would you wake a sleeping baby to change his/her diaper? Once you move past the newborn stage, there is NO need to do this and actually might be disruptive to establishing long periods of overnight sleep. |
+2. NP here. My DS is 21 months and in size 6 overnight Pampers and they are leaking and he's soaked every morning. I'd have to be crazy though to wake a sleeping child to change his diaper in the middle of the night. Besides the fact that it would be a nightmare getting him to go back to sleep it's not even healthy for him to have interrupted sleep like that every night. |
+3. And what research is the "fact" based on that Pampers are more absorbent than Huggies? Do you work for Procter & Gamble? |

We've always gone up one size at night (our baby wears size 3 during the day and size 4 at night) and we rarely have any problems.
If this persists, maybe change the baby again right before you go to bed (hopefully your baby will sleep through this diaper change). Good luck! |
| A padfolded premium cotton prefold with a hemp booster underneath holds an AMAZING amount of moisture overnight. I also really like wool diaper covers because they absorb moisture as well as contain it from leaking onto PJs/sheets. |
The perfect formula for me was Huggies Overnights (size up a size over daytime diapers) with a cloth doubler that we get at Babies R Us (link below). We use Pampers during the day and their overnights didn't cut it. Even the Huggies Overnight alone wouldn't do it. For a girl, you want to position the doubler right in middle of the diaper. I have a boy, so the placement strategy was different
My DS has sized out of overnight diapers (he's a big boy!), so we had to move to size 7 Pampers daytime with the doubler. Since he stopped getting a bedtime bottle, the nighttime pee has improved greatly. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3844600&mr:keyword=&mr:trackingCode=02655167-7315-E311-A497-90E2BA285E75&mr:match=&mr:adType=pla&mr:filter=56910016246&cagpspn=plab_6809685&mr:referralID=NA&mr:ad=35201245606&mr:device=c&camp=PLAPPC-_-PID6809685&KPID=6809685 |

First go up one size at night.
If that doesn't work, switch to Huggies Overnights. If that doesn't solve it, and if the kid is big enough, then move to Pampers Underjams. These are absolutely the most absorbent. The diaper liners never really worked for us. Found they stayed soaking wet all night and didn't draw liquid away from the skin like diapers. |
I am the PP who uses doublers. My issue was that DS was waking in the night from diaper leaks that soaked his pjs and made him cold. My goal wasn't to keep liquid away from his skin in the diaper area (I slathered him with diaper cream to help there), but rather keep him dry and sleeping through the night. The doublers have been the only thing that has worked for us. And, DS has only had a diaper rash when he's had diarrhea. |
| One that's a size bigger |
I am the PP that said the doublers didn't work for us. Good for you if they work for you, but they still didn't work for us. In addition to the wetness on skin issue (which for us caused diaper rash), I found they also shifted alot and too frequently ended up getting the pajamas wet and cold too. But its possible the brand I bought wasn't great or I wasn't placing them strategically enough. Have you tried the Pampers Underjams by the way? They are MUCH more absorbent than the Huggies overnights and other overnight brands and so much easier than the doublers in my opinion. |
