Peeing through nappies at night - reusable nappies?

Our son has started peeing through nappies at night. We have tried sizing up etc but doesn’t seem to make a difference. It’s a very recent thing and we think linked to him drinking quite a lot evenings. We can’t really stop him drinking water evenings as he has so much energy and is running round lots even before bedtime so probably genuinely needs a drink! Has anyone tried reusable nappies and recommend any? A few people mentioned to us may be worth trying for overnight as more absorbent.

We always use reusable nappies during the day and we used to use them at night but eventually I gave up and started using disposables at night because the reusables leaked every night. We use pamper pants at night and never had a problem.

@Esther yeah we use pampers too but still really leaking!

Oh, I guess it is just trying what works for you. We use totsbots and Bambino mio nappies. Very happy with totsbots daytime but we tried nighttime with totsbots and Bambino mio and they leaked for us so we switched to pampers for the night. 😔

We use reusables all the time, day and night. If you're going to use at night you'll want a 2 part nappy with a bamboo booster inside. We use little lamb for nightime. Very occasionally if he drinks a lot before bed he'll have a small leak but majority of the time it's fine!

We tried 2 part ones as well, with bamboo nappies and boosters and still leaked for us. I think different things work with different children.

@Esther do you have a boy? Were you folding the booster in half and putting it at the front of the nappy? That's where you need the absorption with a boy. When we first started using cloth nappies it took a long time to work out exactly how to make it work x
