Nappies leaking over night

I’ve always used Aldi nappies and never had a problem however, I recently introduced a bottle of formula before bed. Ever since I did this, baby is always soaking wet by early hours of the morning. She’s not the best sleeper so having to do a full outfit and bedding change is really disrupting her. I very reluctantly purchased some pampers nappies to try at night however, she’s still soaking. The nappy is the correct size and I ensure I put it on properly every night. I also make sure she has a larger vest on to allow the nappy room to expand but this has not made a difference. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations as to what I can do? Her nappy is put on around 6.30pm and sometimes by 1am she is soaked.

Pampers premium protection nappy pants/pull ups (purple packet) are the only ones that ever hold for both of my boys overnight. They hold for the 12 hours as advertised, the red packet pull ups and the tab nappies never hold x

I love the boots bamboo nappies (little stories) we rarely get overnight leaks with them!! Also, I avoid loose fitting vests at night & go for a snug fit to try & keep everything in place in case baby is having a wriggly sleep! No idea if it works as I've not tried looser clothes to compare..

Tesco Fred and Flo nappies have held for both my 2 year old and my little boy. Pampers ended up leaking for us overnight with my first so just stuck with F&F. No issues so far :)

Tesco ones are amazing!! I was having the same problem, my lo was on Aldi so we tried Morrisons own (still soaking), pampers premium (still soaking) Sainsbury’s own (still soaking), Tescos own no leak!!

Nappies are a hit and miss you have to try a few. Pampers didn't work for us, in that price range Pura was better. But weirdly asdas little angels did so we switched to them. With both my boys Aldi didn't work day or night. Sometimes, you need to size up instead if having them the right size, weight was never accurate for both my boys.

I find it so interesting that everybody has such different experiences with nappies. I think it’ll be a lot of trial and errror. I find pampers absolutely amazing but when she was in size 1 and 2 they were awful, but now I couldn’t rate them more x

I use Aldi nappies but I have seen really good things about rascals nappies and they seem to hold much more than pampers from videos people have been doing - I wanted to try but they never have my babies size x

I use lidl nappies during the day and tesco extra dry fred and flo at night. Change nappy at bedtime 6.30pm, feed time usually around 11pm and then between 5-6am wake up time.

The pampers harmonies work for us overnight. One other thing is could your LO be cold in the night? When the temperature dropped from autumn we had a spell of nappy leaks and I researched that this is because when they are cold their bladder constricts and they wee a lot.

Also they say that around 5am is usually the coldest time of the night so might be worth keeping an eye out if it’s around that time

It's trial and error size 2 tesco worked perfectly but not size 3. Aldi were OK for overnight in size 3 but not now. I'm trying pampers pull ups tonight so we'll see x
