DD waking up soaked through - what's going on??

[kirsty_lee]

Bloody huggies LOL Im on a huggies rant this morning.. dd NEVER wets through her nappies, and she's in the woolies brand... got to the bottom of the nappy barrell last night and put her a huggies... guess who was up at 4am this morning changing a soaked through baby and cot sheets..

Hhhmmm I dunno Lulu - my first thought was to change nappy size but obviously that won't work. Have you tried other types of nappies? We use Aldi overnight and never had a leak. The early morning nappy change might have to be the go hun but will she go back to sleep afterwards? I know my DD wouldn't lol! Good luck!

i saw an add for new nappies yesterday and they had night nappies available, cant remember the brand as it was new, think it started with an S

Woolies and aldi ones are awesome! Never had a wet one like i said.. and they are soooooo much cheaper... Woolies ones are $22 for 88 nappies

If I was you I would go down a size in the huggies. I know that everytime we move up a size in the huggies if DS is only just reaching the bottom end of the size scale we will occasionlly have night leaking. If your DD is barely 10kgs, maybe putting her in the crawler size (6-11kg) for a little while might work.

those new nappies with an overnight nappy are called Sorbies. Have been meaning to try them but I don't know where to get them from. I use huggies and I don't know how many times my son has woken up wet through!! VEEEEEEEEEERY frustrating!!

It might be that she is starting to get some bladder control overnight and does a big wee in the morning as she wakes up.

If this is the case the nappy can't cope with the big influx of urine all at once. It might be a good idea to go in at 6am and wake her up to wee.. that way you can tell if it is the case, or it's just a nappy issue.

Lulu - I had similar issue with Aiden from the moment he figured out how to drink out of a sippy cup himself.. thankfully, that wasnt till he was about 14months old..
What i do is double nappy him. He is about 13kg, and is in the walker nappies by day, and come nighttime, i put a walker nappy on, and then, over top of that, a junior nappy. It seems to keep the walker nappy snugger to his body, hense stopping leakage. Some mornings, his nappys are so full, there is pratically liquid ontop, but, no leakage. Doesnt always work, but, 9 times out of 10, he's dry.
Also, trying to limit the liquid consumption in the afternoons, however, being warmer weather, if he's thirsty, then, not much you can do. I just give half cups of water, so he doesnt guzzle the hole lot.
he does have 200ml of milk before bed, and he still stays dry.

Sorbies are only available from Coles or IGA supermarkets.

I purchased a 'sample' pack the other day from Coles. They're only $2.95 - has 6 nappies it in, 4 day and 2 night ones and was quite impressed! So impressed that I actually brought a bigger pack for DS. The night one I have found that he is still peeing like he usually does but the nappy isnt as heavy and as bulky so the absorbency must be good. They say they have 12-hour protection.

Maybe give them a go?? You're not going to know if it will work for your situation unless you try them.

I'm thinking this is the case. Is she showing any signs of TTing readiness other than this? It could be worth checking out (just in time for summer = toilet training season)! LOL
