Best diaper for overnight

Hi moms! My lo keeps waking throughout the night from a dirty diaper (9:30pm, 2:30am, 5:30am). She has 2 night feeds so has lots of pee. I change the first 2 but try to hold out on the last until it’s time to wake up at 6:30. I wish she wasn’t so bothered by it. Do you change diapers at night? Can you please include which diaper you use that doesn’t leak and helps keep baby dry and happy at night. Thanks!

What nappies do you use ?

I use Huggies & sometimes I don’t change my son all night because he sleeps thru the night . Only wakes up once to eat & I change it once he wakes up around 7:30am he’s only 4 months & Huggies works good

they’re pampers premium protection. They feel a bit light and seem to soak easily and she must be feeling damp and uncomfortable :/ we also tried pampers baby-dry, pampers overnight pants and pampers active fit. I might give baby-dry or active fit another go as they didn’t leak much and felt a bit more sturdy. Is there a good one you use for your lo?

I used to have this problem with my boy as he drinks quite a bit before bed and sometimes wake up for some water during the night.I recommend sizing up as the bigger the size,the more absorbent they are.If they’re a little big I just do them up tighter and I’ve never had a problem,I actually prefer them like that.The brand pura off of Amazon are amazing but pricey.If you’re only using them for the night then they would last ages and not be pricey.They do small packets to order so you could try them out.I absolutely love the Tesco brand Fred&flo.Never had a issue with them.They’re cheap and good quality.Definitely give sizing up a go !

thank you so much Tia!

that’s okay! I hope I’ve helped enough

We use sainsburys and they last like 15 hours some nights (I have a good sleeper sorry everyone) but used tesco the other night on 2 occasions and they leaked both times. They’re fine during the day but can’t go any more than like 4 hours it seems.

Side note I don’t aim for a 4hr stretch but sometimes it just happens. Also if you go 4 hrs between changes, you do you idc

sainsburys own? Be good to get some of these for nighttime
Cheers

yea we’re now using size 3 overnight but 2s are okay for the day until we’ve used the last of this pack then will use 3s for day time too as she’s ready to size up

I change my daughter once in the night. Usually around her 3/4am feed. Otherwise it’s just a wet mess. But I keep her in her cot so it doesn’t wake her up much x

Asda day and pampers or Aldi at night as they hold

Pampers Baby-Dry work so well I hardly change her nappy as she never leaks or poos overnight. They claim to have 12h protection and have never let me down xx

We are the same, I have to change my son during the night but we are still up for a night feed anyway and generally he settles back down after changing.

I've heard that going up a nappy size for bed time might help. Worth a try?

are we circumcising our boys? or leaving that to dad?

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
