Night time nappies

Our little boy is finally sleeping well at night, at 10 months old, but he is out-peeing his nappies. He used to wake at around midnight, and again at 3/4am, so we would change him when he woke up. Now, though, with him sleeping better, we risk waking him up if we change him in his sleep, so we've been leaving him be as it's only pee nappies. But if he doesn't get changed, without fail, he will pee out of his nappy come morning. He's in the "+" version of his size of nappy, for the extra absorption, and he still out-pees them. I have no idea what to do. How are people letting their lil ones sleep through the night and not get pee everywhere? Is our boy just an olympic pee-er? Pls, any advice welcome.

So with my first we sized up his nappys and sized up his vest so it wasn't tight around his nappy .

@Rachel we've bought the next size up nappy (not used them yet), but don't ill fitting nappies lead to more leaks anyway?

We had this issue. We moved to pull ups as they hold more and havn’t had to change her in the night or had a leak since. We use Aldi size 6 now

@Sidonie you would assume haha. We thought the same when we was given this advice but it worked for us could be due to him not moving much in his sleep tho so nothing ended up gapping from him moving about .

We are using Pampers nappy pants for the night time. They are slightly bigger than the regular nappies. We've been using them for at least 3 months, and never have we had a night leak since

Try the pull ups there's a bit more room in them for extra wee x

@Emma yes! I was looking at them but wasn't sure if they'd just be the same, just in pant form. Thank you

@Rachel makes sense, actually. I'm open to anything. Thank you

Definitely size up fully. My boy used to always pee out of his nappies until we moved up a size.

We're in pull ups now as she moves loads and they're a bit more giving/flexible with movement. Our LG will often 'hold' her wee until she wakes (which overnight is still a couple times) but this meant before she'd wet through with big wees so we would always size up at night. Now we're in 4s we use 4+ at night and it seems to last all night.
