Just wondering what everyone is doing for night time nappies. My boy wears size 4+ and he's well within the weight bracket, but because he sleeps on his front a lot his nappy gets squashed and then leaks!? So every other day I'm basically washing his bedding and sleeping bag etc! We have multiple so it's fine, but assuming everyone isn't washing bedding every other day? What can I do? Size up for night time? Pull ups?? All advice welcome!

Mine was the exact same! He loves sleeping on his belly & side! I now use night time pull up nappies and we’ve never had a leak since 🙂

Are you using overnight nappies?
I’ve been using Rascal and Friends overnight and they are great. My LO wears it for about 12hrs and it only leaked once.
Also, make sure his vests aren’t too tight. That can cause leakage if the nappy doesn’t have space to expand.

What does he wear to bed? Does it have enough room for the nappy to expand?

The nappy pants are working really well for us 😊

When my LO starts leaking of a night - she's a belly sleeper too and drinks a tonne of water. I size up. She started leaking the other night so I moved from size 5 to size 6 and haven't had any problems even with all the belly sleeping. I am now using all the size 5s in the day and the 6s for nights until I run out then will move up to 6 fully.

I’ve started using pull ups and they’re brilliant! Only use them overnight and it’s the only thing that has prevented overnight leaks after trying a million diapers

Use pampers at night

Pull ups have been a game changer for us

We started using pull ups at night and they work a treat.

I love pampers overnights and we are in a size 6! Some people say that you can size up and that’s helpful but when I did that my guy pee leaked through the side 🫠😂 maybe it was a me error but we tried a few nights with the overnights and found those to work. I switched him at size 4

Size up and pull ups definitely help in my experience (mum to 2 tummy sleeping boys) my eldest I used to have to change him while he slept before I went to sleep at night. We also found it had to be pampers at night too.
Removed under presstud vests too.
I’ve also heard of some mum using a cloth nappy wrap over the top. Found I always had to move my boys up a size as soon as they met the minimum size for the next size up. Also a quick change as soon as they start waking the morning can help.

when you rip the sides to take it off there isn’t anything to keep it closed like the tabs on nappies. So you roll up the pants and use that to stick it down so it stays closed

omg you learn something new every day!!! I always wondered 😂

oh my gosh I thought that was to show they peed haha. 😂😂😂😂

I did too, until the pants at his nursery had them and I didn’t realise he’d not long been changed when I changed him at home from picking him up and caught it I thought it was a game changer as not all pants have them

Ooooh thanks
