    I used the Huggies good nights for DD when younger, if you think there is cause for concern, see your GP, if drinking and output is up, I'd be asking for a quick blood sugars test xx

    My dd1 is 6 and still not night trained at all - not even close (although her 2 younger sisters are)

    I get the huggies pull ups - they hold a lot of wee!! Hers are so heavy in the morning.

    I use huggies pull ups for DD 5.5 but she was never a heavy wetter. I have heard of double nappies, where you poke holes in the first and put a second over top. Or lining them with a heavy menstrual or incontinence pad. The other thing is to change brands because some fit some kids better than others.

    My girls still wear nappies to bed. I don't believe in limiting water before bed or if they wake up at night. If they are thirsty then then can drink. Occasionally they leak through but it is random. I have heard that a pad in the nappy/pullup works great. I just have a waterproof sheet on their bed (they choose to share a double bed).

    My DS is 4.5 yo, and also no where near ready for undies at night. I use the baby love pull up pants, and I have noticed that if he has a lot to drink before bed, he occasionally wets through the nappy, so I have to give him less water before bed. Also, he loves to sleep on his tummy, so we get an accident here and there, not often though, where his pj top is a bit damp at the bottom as the wee is travelling up the front of the nappy pants I guess?? I would switch to huggies, they always worked well for us, we've hardly had any accidents when he was using them. DS has never been a nappy 'soaker' at night, in fact when he went into his big boy bed, he had a dry pull up nappy at night for almost 6 months, every night, then I got excited and mentioned undies at night time, and right on cue he started to have wet nappies at night again lol.
