At night we use Huggies and for about the last 10 days they've leaked nearly every night (out the top cause she seems to sleep mostly on her tummy) so in amongst working full time I'm having to do lots of washing which is a PITA!
Anyway, she was in 'walker' size and so we put her in 'toddler' in the hope that would help (even though they come half way up her stomach). It's still happening!!! Does anyone have ideas for what I can do?? -------------  My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

Ashleigh was leaking a few weeks ago too - but mainly in the Treasures Ultra I had bought when they were on special. She also leaks out the top as she sleeps on her tummy.
So have you gone down a size or up? Walker is bigger than toddler... Ash has been in walkers for ages now and Brenna's got a bigger tum than Ash lol! Hmmm I would have thought going up a size should have helped? My sis also had trouble with my nephew as he is a really heavy wetter at night. Now she baths him early, then bottle and lets him play for 15mins or so then changes his nappy again right before bed as he would wee alot straight after his bottle. Seems to have helped. ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Right!! You could try putting some kind of cover over her nappy to hold the wee in, rather than soaking clothes/bedding? But I guess thats not actually solving the problem as such! What about your cloth nappies? Would she leak out of them? ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

A woollen soaker over the nappy should keep any leaks in, I know Kels has been using one with Alize and has had great success. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

What about trying a different brand of nappy. Huggies were useless for us, yet treasures were great! Other people have the opposite experience. And what about seeing if you could start putting her on the toilet or a potty before bed? Help empty one load out?!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
