My boy keeps wetting through his nappies at night! Need recommendations please!

For the last 2/3 weeks my boy keeps wetting through his nappies at night and I'm constantly changing and washing the sheets! We have been using Sainsburys size 6+ for a few months. They fit him fine but I don't think they hold enough liquid overnight.

Last few days I've been doubling up the nappies at night using a size 7 pull up and the size 6+ nappy over the top and he's still wet through that early this morning! His nappies would always last 12-13 hours until he started wetting through them recently.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good bigger nappies as Sainsburys doesn't go higher than 6+ and 7 in the pull ups which clearly aren't working for my boy.In the past we've tried Tesco nappies which were not great, Aldi nappies ended up giving him nappy rash at size 4 and Pampers were not bad but he used to wet through them as well but that was when he was very small. I'm not sure if Pampers or Huggies do a size 7+ or 8. I know they will probably be huge for my son but I'm just thinking these sizes would work in terms of how much liquid it would hold? Thanks in advance x

I use both rascal and friends nappies and pull up pants(pull ups for bedtime), and pampers pull up pants whenever they’re on offer. Which by the way they’re on a nectar card price right now at Sainsburys! I have the odd leak on a morning but I always have time to clean sheets and his sleeping bag before he has another leak and I have only 3 sleeping bags and 3 bed sheets 🙈 xxxx

unfortunately they weren't great for my little boy. I've just bought a pack of Pampers from Sainsburys but if they don't work out I'll try rascal and friends and I've also heard good things about Ocado Kiddo which luckily I can order online on their zoom app x

Pampers. We tired rascal and friend whuxg were great but bulky between the legs. Pampers are much nicer fit x

I'd suspect it's a movement issue rather than how much they can hold, unless he's guzzling like 3 bottles immediately before bed or something! I'd honestly try going back to smaller sizes as I would bet money that they're so big they're moving out of place at some point - even just a fraction will be enough for a leak. Mine is in size 4+ (has been for AGES now, but the weight range is something like 10-20kg so it makes sense to be a long time in this size) and when my eldest potty trained (who was 99.6th percentile), we had only got up to size 6. Size 7 is designed for like primary school aged children who still need a nappy for whatever reason, which is why they're not commonly stocked in all shops. Even if you can get a handful of smaller ones from a friend or a free page/freecycle etc to try before you buy, it would be worth it. I'd go for 4+ or 5s at this age depending on size/weight/build.

I know in theory that makes sense but for some reason the smaller sizes became so tight on my little boy and he grew out of size 5 when he was like 11/12 months old. It didn't make sense to me as he's only small and currently weighs 7.8kg but I just found size 6 and 6+ a better fit. We've switched to Pampers for now in size 8 at night and the last few days we've had no leaks. They fit very well, maybe a little big at the bottom but around his legs they are snug but not overly tight.The size 6+ in Sainsburys still works well for us during the day.

This kept happening to our little girl too but then we moved to pampers active night pants and it’s completely stopped. I think it is down to movement rather than size!

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help
