My 22 month old, 22 lb daughter has wet through her diaper three times this week, I am all the way up to a size 6 Huggie with her at night, not sure where to go from here, would love some suggestions, thanks!
Have you tried the Huggies Overnites? They are sold in plastic package. Thicker and more absorbent for nightime.
Good luck.
Same thing happened to me. I have limited her consumption of liquids and changed her right before bed. The overnight diapers have a weird lining that made my daughter uncomfortable. If you feel the lining of the huggies overnights with the back of your hand you can feel how scratchy they are. I have not tried the double liners, but she'll grow out of it. Hang in there :-)
We use Huggies Overnights- they work really well.
This happens to pretty much everyone. There's just a point when kids start leaking through at night consistently. Huggies Overnights worked for me. Make sure you have the right size too.
I had boys, and one of them at almost 5 is still a SOLID wetter every night. I had to use diaper doublers with a size 7 pampers. I use two doublers. I have only found them at babies r us, not toys r us. Good luck!
Do you use Huggies Overnight diapers (in the purple package?) If so, I'd use one of those and a diaper doubler. I think the only place you can still get diaper doublers is at TRU, but I haven't gotten any in a while so they may not have them there anymore. Try limiting liquids at night (nothing after 6PM is ideal, but I know this can be very hard with a little one). Also, make sure you are putting on the diaper right before they go to bed. Good luck!
overnights definately do absorb more. Another trick is to find diaper doublers - they are inserts that go inside the diaper so they absorb more or use a sanitary pad inside the diaper to absorb more.
B.,
You may want to find a cloth diaper shop in your area. We have been able to help parents time and time again find solutions for wetting through their disposable diapers overnight by switching to cloth diapers. Since your daughter wouldn't be pooping in them, their care is very simple.
All the best.
Hi B.,
I am also a mother of three and remember those struggles. Questions:
Is your 22 month old potty trained during the day?
If so, does she wear underwear or pull-ups during the day?
When does she eat/drink last at night before bedtime?
How often does she urinate during the day?
We had similar issues with our oldest son and found that by eliminating liquids after 7p, and urinating exercises the problem was eliminated. Please feel free to contact me and I would be happy to share more. I am also a family coach and post helpful tips on my site at www.stepshelp.com

No offense but huggies suck. I got a freebie box size 3 for my 23lb almost 2 son. Day or night he pees through them. His legs are not fat enough for the leg openings. I know he does not need a bigger size because this is the only brand we have had problems with and also the velcro tabs touch and then some. Try luvs. They are made by pampers and amazon usually has a size 3 box (204 count) for 35 bucks and free shipping. A 92 count in stores is 17.99 plus tax. This is an awsome steal and my son has never ever leaked out at night even if the diaper weighs 10lbs in the morning after he is in it for 7-12 hours. If you like huggies try putting training underwear and plastic pants over it at night. I'm currently doing this to use them up. Hope it helps!
Try the diaper doublers at Babies R US and TRU. There is a rumor that they have stopped carring them. But I did find them online a few weeks ago. Also Try stopping Liquad consumption like an hour or so before bedtime. I had the same problem with my little girl who is almost 2, and stopping her liquid before bedtime has worked.
My son has gone through this recently(he's 2 1/2). I have a system now b/c nothing else worked for me. Huggies overnights did NOT work for me. I don't give him anything to drink after 7pm(goes to bed about 8-8:30pm). I change his diaper right before I put him down at bedtime and I put a overnight pullup over the diaper. Also, got the idea from my sister... I double sheet his crib at night. So if and when he wakes up soaked I can just pull off the first layer of sheet/mattress cover, change him and put him back to bed. Not sure if your daughter is still in the crib but my son is and has a bumper so changing sheets in the middle of the night is a major pain. Doing the double sheets really helps make it easier.
Good luck!
Huggie Overnight try them.
