Leaking nappies in the night!!??

My boy is 20 weeks old today, still wakes for 2 night feeds but is weeing through his vest, babygrown and sleepsuit and its going onto his cot sheet. Changing him in the night is not an option - does anyone else have any ideas of how i can avoid this and your experience with different brand nappies pls x

Why is changing him during the night not an option? I need to change my girls nappy once a night as she'd be leaking as well.

Pampers my favourite. Or Sainsbury's. However I've found using reusables sooo much better.
However sounds like you need to add a night change in

because it will wake him up too much and he wont go back to sleep x

Carys definitely try the pampers- Sainsbury’s have them on offer with a nectar card atm. I use Sainsbury’s/ aldi nappies throughout the day and just save the pampers for nighttime so it doesn’t work out so expensive x

If it gets to the point where you have to change him, do his nappy first and the bottle might help him go back off

We have to do a night change too, I do it before the bottle as quickly and gently as I can in low light, then do the bottle. I think their bodies know it's still night time now so he does go straight back to sleep pretty much as soon as bottle is in his mouth. If you're really against it, I used rascal and friends ones with my eldest when he started sleeping through and they lasted the night x

We use asdas. We don't do a nappy change either and so far no leaks 🤞 x

Change before feeding, you cant expect a nappy to hold a whole night AND 2 feedings 🤷🏼‍♀️.
Ive always done it this way for my LOs and it works great.

You’ll have to change him in the night- not really fair to leave him in lots of wee. I completely get where you’re coming from, it’s so hard knowing you’re waking him up, but think it’s the only option :) x

Avatar

if he was showing that it is affecting him and he’s uncomfortable id change him, but im going to try different options before that, it will be my last resort

Avatar

yeh they usually dont care if they leak but im just saying you will find it quite hard to find a nappy to last through it all.

Avatar

because hes not awake enough to be changed but he wont go back to sleep fully without a bottle

Avatar

I agree, change him when he wakes for the 2 feeds!

Avatar

yes but if you change him sleepy then feed him he should go back to sleep easily 🤷🏼‍♀️

Avatar

I use the pampers overnight nappies for this reason. They haven’t let me down yet. They are expensive but if you’re only using one a night it’s not too bad overall

Avatar

I agree, but she said he’s leaking all the way through so that’s different!

Avatar

I use reusable nappies as well as disposable, and I've found that putting the outside wrap of the reusable over the disposable at night prevents leaking onto the sheets.

BTW I found pampers to be awful, I wouldn't recommend.

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.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

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
