Baby waking up soaked in pee (through his diaper)

My son just recently started sleeping longer at night some nights he sleeps completely through the night but he seems to ALWAYS wake up soaked clothes and all am I supposed to change his diaper throughout the night even at this age? If I do I’m scared that he will wake up and not go back down. Anyone else dealing with this?

You supposed to have stopped charging his diaper every night from around 3/4months unless he poops. Diaper can be worn for 12hrs long. So let him sleep on it until morning , that will avoid interrupting long stretches at night. Use Vaseline(aquaphor) to avoid pee irritation

Are you using night-time diapers? We have this problem with regular diapers but not when we use hello bello night time diaper

Same thing started happening to my baby and we switched to overnight diapers.

We go a size up and use nighttime diapers rarely have a problem! We don't change pee diapers until first thing in the am

My son does this alot soaks his entire outfit I just go up a size in pampers swaddlers & coat him in auquaphor or Destin depending if he's pooping alot

Change diaper before baby falls asleep make sure they are more absorbing/night diapers, go one size up and change in the AM.

You could try using a cloth diaper cover over the disposable to help contain it

Just reiterating what was said above. Clean diaper before he falls asleep, use overnight diapers and I'd recommend also putting butt paste or your choice of diaper rash cream.

Overnight diapers changed the game for us 🙌🏽🙌🏽

We sized up in diapers and started overnight diapers. Millie moon is the only ones he doesn’t soak through

Same has been happening to me for months now. We’ve gone through multiple brands of overnight diapers, made sure his penis is pointed down, sized up, sized down, but pee comes through the diaper too. So I just change the diaper once per night now, trying my best to make it be halfway through the night whenever he wakes up. I never wake him up just to change him. Whenever he’s up, I change it. I plan on trying not to change the diaper when he turns 8 months to see if anything has changed.

Have you tried sizing 2 sizes up? He might be close to changing sizes. My son is a belly sleeper & I have to constantly size up his night time diapers otherwise he'll be constantly soaked & get a rash

Avatar

If he’s waking up soaked always you need to change him 1 time during the night or get night time diapers

Same thing is happening to me. I need to switch to overnight diapers

Overnight diapers! Change right before bed and use a size up

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
