    Hi Boobaloo!

    I've been using Sorbies (a Coles brand) which actually come in seperate day and night nappies and they are amazing (and cheap too). My DS1 drinks HEAPS of water and while the nappies are quite full the next morning, they dont leak.

    We use Huggies & have had no trouble, until we need to upsize....which would have been my suggestion. But seems you already have. Ahhh only other thing is perhaps cut back what he is drinking before bed....sorry not much help.

    My DD has always been wearing huggies nappies and has started weeing through EVERY night, so i was in coles and thought i would try there brand nappies, PLUS they were almost half the price of huggies and they are GREAT she has not wet through in the last 4 nights. So far so good!!

    Good luck

    boobaloo, PM me, if your happy to try second hand I can lend you some to see if something suits. I have a lot of large night nappies.

    One that I can suggest though is the Genesa Forge Super night. I have an XL one here which should fit your son and I think it would take some wee'er to out wee it!!

    Boobaloo, no joke, I have friends who swear by the pad in the nappy trick for their heavy wetters!
    Have you tried the Aldi ones? I use them for both girls overnight. DD1 is in cloth during the day and DD2 is in Huggies cause I bought a pack for a promotion and they don't keep her as dry as the Aldi (Mamia) ones seem to.

    Boobaloo - don't joke about the pads, but get some incontinence pads and use them - they hold more liquid.

    There's actually a brand of nappy inserts called "Nappy Mates" - kind of like a booster pad for sposies. I used them with DD1 and haven't been able to find them at the supermarket since but just yesterday I discovered 2 nappy delivery businesses that sell them. Otherwise you can just use regular incontinence inserts as well.

    I agree with Sorbies. Scout is the night wetter from hell and was soaking through everything with Huggies, the supposed best night time nap. I even put a maternity pad in it one night and he still drenched through.
    We havent had an accident yet with Sorbies (touch wood) They are a bit annoying int hat they only come in a weeks worth with the daytime ones as well but worth it not to be doing extra washing every morning.

    Mamia from Aldi never give me any issues & they can hold a heap of fluid. I'm amazed how heavy some of the overnight ones are & no leaks.

    We use huggies in a larger size or overnight and that works well for us. I tried sorbies but ds wet through those..
    I hope you have a dry night tonight
