Babies who have more than 4 hour stints overnight how do you prevent nappy leaks?

We use sainsbury's or aldi size 2s and when baby boy has longer stints of 4hrs plus, he leaks.

Are you sizing up at night?

My daughter will be 4 months on Wednesday and wear size two nappy. But I realised she leaks if I leave her for 6 hours plus, she hates getting changed at night, so I leave her for as long as I can. So I sized up at night, and she can go all night without a leak. This only seems to work with mamia nappies.

We never have leaks and sometimes can be 8 hours+
I found Aldi quite small, we used boots and pampers size 2 then just went to size 3 a couple days ago.
You need to up your size.

We use boots bamboo little stories nappies and never have any leaks with them overnight. Plus they’re relatively cheap with a boots card. My baby is 14lbs 14oz so he’s on size 3 now but he was fine in the size 2 as well.

My LO uses size 2 or 3 depending on the brand. We don't size up at night and can get 10-12hrs out a nappy.

Yeah you need to size up.

Our little one sleeps 8 hours through the night and no leaks - we use size 2 either Mamia or Pampers. (Personally prefer Mamia though)

We use lidl premium size 2 and never leaked even during one 11 hour sleep (its usually 8-9), use the same during the day x

My LB sleeps anything from 8-12 hours and hasnt leaked once.

We mainly use Lidil Nappies in a Size 2 and 3 and he is 14lbs - only using up the end of my size 2s and he will be into 3s x

Daughter is 10w and does even 7-8hr stretches in Pampers size 2! Never had a leak with this brand…

My son is 9 weeks and in size 3 nappies day and night and there’s no problems? I change his nappy when he wakes up at night usually (8hrs) and it’s not too bad he goes straight back to sleep

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
