What is with Huggies???

[Feijoa Mum]

My DS is 15mths and is seriously leaking through his nighttime nappy.
I never had this problem with any of my other boys so I am sure it is the "New and improved" (yea right) huggies design.
He is just knocking on 13kg and was in the 13-18kg walkers which should be just fine for him but no go. So I have upped him to the 16kg and over junior size and last night he was soaked through again!!!
I dont put it on him till the last minute and I make sure it is quite high in the front as he is a tummy sleeper but I dont know what else to do .

I have tried the Aldi ones and find they are only good for day use with him is there any others that I can try for night time use???

Thanks in advance

That is the exact reason i refuse to use huggies!!

The coles select or safeway brand nappies are great!!!
i know, i know.. i was a bit hesitant using them at the start but i dont use anything else now!
apart from baby love when they are on special!

ETA - a friend of mine swears by the 'sorbies' nappies i think they are from coles? her son is a heavy wetter overnight too!

I am at my wits end and am ready to try anything but yes I was a bit hesitant to use no names but will give them a go. I guess I should just stop being a label basher huh??

Thanks heaps

Hmmm I have no idea what could be causing leak but Im not really in the know when it comes to boy-bits

After trying about 6 different brands we are hooked on snugglers, they are similar to huggies except they dont have the elastisized bit at the back. You can get them from big w if your interested. They are much cheaper than huggies too.

Bella is 9kgs and in Huggies but she doesnt wet though touch wood! The only other thing I could suggest would be a Modern Cloth Nappy (MNC)Night time nappy - I am just looking into cloth myself so bear with me - they are a cloth nappy that has a really absorbant core of matterial especially fro night time - they are also made just like disposables so not like the old style cloth nappies - they are the same shape as dispoables just you wash then not throw them.
There are probably some night disposable ones out there - I have just heard form alot of the ladies on here with big night time wetters that MCN night nappies are great. There are also a few ladies on here that sell Night nappies so they can tell you more.
Hope that helps

oh i forgot, peach just reminded me - i also like snugglers and i use them on both

I have used Huggies and Snugglers and the Safe way select ones and they are all great = I just got a box of 108 Snugglers at Big W for $30 buck so they are on sale and great.

When DS was in sposies I found the coles brand (the you'll love coles brand, not the savings brand) were really really good. I used those through the day though, not at night. When DS started wetting quite heavy I had already switched to cloth so I can't help you there. But we did try snugglers and they were worse than huggies here for us.

Huggies & snugglers are made by the same company. Kimberly-Clark. Give them a call and tell them about the prob. They are pretty good at helping out.

I havent had a problem with them so far but I have heard more people have a prob if they have boys not girs. Weird hey.

Maybe its a pressure issue? Boys pee at a greater force than girls do, girls sorta.. trickle.. lol.. those boys are like a fire hose!! lol

I'm having the same prob but with ds3!

Lach is just hitting 6kgs and I've had to move him up 2 sizes as I hate it when they don't go around the body properly and he wets through on his hips! as soon as this box of huggies are finished I"m going to the "YOU'LL LOVE COLES" nappies find them to be excellent!

Have you tried the Swedish Nature Babycare brand? I find them to be highly absorbent for my boy, plus they are made from 70% biodegradeable materials, and free of chlorine and harsh bleaches which commercialised brands like Huggies use, so much gentler on bubs skin and the environment. They are no more costly than conventional disposables - so everyone wins! I just get mine from Woolies
