We tried a "Walker" nappy last night and no leaks!! So I am very happy! If we have any further issues I think I may take a look at those Baby Beehinds but for now, the issue appears to have been solved
Hey Sam, sorry I didn't get back to you. I doubt baby beehinds will be enough if he outpees a huggies - my kids can outpee them in about 3 hours. About 6 at the most with a booster on the outside.
If you want to try something I'll send you up a Genesa Forge Super trim night to try first before you buy anything. They are awesome. Plus, if you are just using one a day, you can throw it in with a load of washing (if you are comfortable doing that) daily.
Thought I would post an update (primarily for anyone searching for a solution to the same problem at a later date) on The Wee-Machine!
We have been through a very damp, rashy and expensive couple of weeks and have, at last, had three dry night and counting.
I tried Aldi and Woolworths Select 'sposies just so that I had fully exhausted my 'sposie options. I tried double 'sposies, sanitary pads, maternity pads, incontinence pads and various combination thereof. I tried fleece pilchers and wool covers over his 'sposies too. The flooding continued!
I bought two Wild Child Night Nappy++'s with wool covers. They were absolutely beautiful and very absorbent - though couldn't stand up to The Wee Machine. So a whole heap of money and disappointment later, they are now sitting, looking very pretty and very absorbant, in our linen cupboard.
We had some success popping the WC bamboo inserts and boosters into his 'sposies, but he still managed to wee through them occasionally. Plus they would really smell because they couldn't get air, obviously.
So, in desperation, I ordered a big box of Nappy Mate disposable booster pads from VIC (not available in QLD) and then visited to shops again to check that I had tried everything on the shelves. I figured I may as well try some of the expensive Huggies Nappy Pants because they boasted an "elasticised waist" which sounded promising.
THEY. WORKED.
So each evening, I now put what I refer to as "Nappy Armour" on The Wee Machine. Here is the recipe (for anyone as desperate as I was):
Take your regular Huggies daytime nappy (in our case a "Toddler") and cut a slit in the front cover.
Place one Nappy Mate in the middle of the nappy and one across the top.
Place tightly on Wee Machine
Take one pair of Huggies Nappypants (one size up from day nappy size - in our case, a "Walker") and place over "Toddler" nappy.
Go to sleep knowing that you won't wake up to a flooded cot and rashy bub the next morning!!
Thanks again for everyone's help - I am so glad that we have solved the problem

to many more flood and rash free nights!
