No more changing sheets and no more washing!!!!!!
Huggies, baby love and select from foodtown and a natural corn nappy (can't remeber name), budget and giggles are all no good. Any suggestions for a super absorbing night nappy? that will not leak! -------------

My two year old is the same although only wets through once or twice a week now. He's a very heavy wetter though and I found Giggles to be the ABSOLUTE worst nappy ever created.
We use homebrand  Keeps it all in!
Sam is in the biggest size now as he's 17KG and I found the biggest size of Giggles and some others really cut into him and the homebrand junior ones are a pretty generous size so fit well. |

Oh I was going to say Giggles. Jack is a heavy wetter at night and was wetting through his cloth nappies but have found that Giggles last him 12+hours. Suppose they are all different. Good luck in finding something ------------- Lindsey

| sealer nappies with a empty pocket nappy over top works best for us. |

Dd was a super heavy wetter for a while and we used dryups @ night 12 hours or so and they seemed to be fine.
Can get from babyonline |

We use whatever nappy we get from the nappies direct place (the cheapest) and put a cloth fitted with plastic cover over the top. No leaks since starting that system but tried just about every thing before that. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We have also found that Homebrand are great. So much better at night than Huggies! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

We use Huggies for day and Treasures Ultra for night time. We get the odd leak, but that's generally only cos she's a wriggly sleeper and the nappy gets loose around her legs and she lies in odd positions  -------------

I use Select Junior nappy with a prefold inside... only way I can get him through the night, and he might still have a wet morning once a week...
Can also use Huggies/Treasures Ultra with prefold. ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

I use one size larger than durign the day for Mattias. He is a heavy wetter and I have found the only way I can get it to absorb enough is if I have a size larger on during the night. I use Huggies ------------- Mattias 2yo Henrik almost 1 |

aidan goes thru stages of wetting thru his nappies at night. Normally we use giggles at night and budget during the day. When he wets heaps we put 2 disposables on him, one a slighty larger size. Then use the outer one again in the morning if its not wet.  or a cloth nappy outer over a disposable holds it in and stops his jarmies getting wet.

Thanks for al the helpful suggestions decided to give huggies one more go!
Got the size bigger and it worked! So huggies 16kg and over work even though DS is only 13 kg the bigger nappies work better i suppose more room to expand.! yah no more unnecessary washing! -------------

A word of warning to you all that use the size up.
Poos before wees are not a good experience, especially when changing nappies in the dark. Poor DH, it was a code brown x 2 situation and lets just say the carpet cleaner was called the next day

| we have the same issue with mr 25 months. I find either select or treasures ultra the best, but even then get leaks every second night at least. May try the insert in a bigger size. A waterproof outer doesn't work as he is a tummy sleeper and it just seems to seep out the top no matter what. he's a big wetter and big pooper first thing in the morning. God help us when we try to toilet train over night! |

I use Huggies with a cloth nappy insert and it works brilliantly. I truied the size up thing and it worked for about 2-3 nights before I was back to square one.
I rate the cloth nappy insert! -------------

Huggies and Homebrand were tested by Target and they're pretty much exactly the same except for price so if you want to save $$$ and normally use Huggies give Homebrand a try. We use the Junior size with Jake for nights (cloth/knickers during the day) and they're brill. -------------
