My 6 month old wakes up in pee...advice?

My 6 month old has been waking up with his clothes all wet because he pees through his diaper during the night. I moved up to size 2 hoping it will help but it hasn’t. I’m using huggies, I used the same brand with my first born and never had a problem. Any tips on how to prevent this from happening? I’m getting tired of changing his sheets everyday…

I don’t know if they still make them but I used to put my in a diaper and then put the rubber underwear on top of the diaper no more wet sheets worked so good but that was 37 years ago I don’t know if they still make them

I use honest company overnight diapers with my son. He would leak through Huggies but no issues with these.

My son did this with Huggies as well but never with Pampers.

Overnight diapers, and give him a change during the night

My sister switched to honest brand for her fifth and final child after Huggies kept leaking.

Have you tried overnight diapers?

Huggies is really short in the back so that’s probably why. I’d switch diaper brands at night. Pampers have a long back on them.

They have nighttime diapers

I used to put puppy training pads under my baby. The other problem is that even though going up a size in nappy will take more liquid, if theyre even slightly too big you’ll get leakage. So I just resorted to training pads to help deal with the problem! X

We do pampers and it works. Or double up like using 2 diapers. Figure out if its too full thus leaking or is it too small/big and leaking out of the sides.

Try Luvs. I have 3 sons and never had a problem.

Going up in sizes won’t help unless they are what fit properly. You need to start changing your child throughout the night.

I always used luvs and this never was a problem for me.even with my grandkids.

Switch diapers. I could only use Huggies with my oldest and my youngest. My 2nd I can could use any brand, and my 3rd I could only use pampers. Idk why just some diapers don’t work with babies.

Is he peeing out of the diaper or is the diaper getting too full it is leaking?

If it is leaking because its too full, you need to change him in the middle of the night.

If he is peeing out of it try using a different size. Too small and too big will cause this. Also try the Huggies over nights. Bamboo cloth diapers are great for nights as well.

Switch brands and put a little powder in it. My lo use to get rashes on his legs from leaky diapers, it helps

Put pads underneath him so pee don’t get on the sheets

Put a cloth nappy outter on over the disposable.

Make sure all tabs and everything of his night nappy are sitting and fitting right, his peen is pointing down, or failing all those things do a dream change before you go to bed (if bub sleeps through) or during the night feed

I used Huggins at first but switched to pampers & it definitely Help. I used pampers as a baby then easy upside now that he’s a toddler. Never cared for pampers wipes tho so I used Huggins as far as wipes.

Try the overnight ones / chance the diaper at least one while the baby is sleeping/ the pads are a great idea

Well if he’s peeing change him before you go to bed and as soon as you wake up. Most kids will go back to sleep.

These are a GAME CHANGER!!!

Change him during the night

Have you tried reusable plastic underwear over the diapers? They helped with my super soaker.

Add a sposie liner to his diaper at night

Make sure, when diapering, that the penis is facing downward. Had that problem with my son and once I did that, I had no more problems.

Get used to it. Could happen for 12 more years

Huggies overnight and pampers baby dry
I used to find very very similar. So if you can’t get hyggies overnight try pampers baby dry.

If neither work try pampers cruisers they are made for babies who move alot unlike baby dry. Which some moms I know could only use cruiser cause their kid was ALAAYS on the go

When you change his diaper point his penis down.

Parents choice wal mart sell them I had the same problem but know he sleep all night long with out pee thru his diaper

I’d double check his penis is pointed down towards his testicles when you fasten his diaper and make sure his junk has enough room.

Try positioning his penis pointing down. If it points up it can cause leakage.

Huggies overnights and size up!

I used to buy these things called diaper doublers at babys r us. It was almost like a maxi pad but absorbent on both sides. Only way to make it through the night my kids were great sleepers. Also make sure to point his peepee down when diapering. I kept getting pee coming out of the top of diaper. This was also 22 years ago but there has got to be a similar product out there. I only used them for nighttime diapers.

So i had this issue with my son about the same age (he’s now 18 months) but I thought it wouldn’t end… as soon as I started making sure his bit was pointed down instead of up it stopped. Haven’t dealt with it again since.

Size up or down ! With my first I had that happen too and couldn’t figure it out cause I’d change the diapers a few times at night if I woke up but I read online on pampers and Huggies that a diaper should not leak and it’s either the fit/ size is no longer good for them or that you’re not tying it right try that and then see if it helps out

I always thought huggies felt wet when we used to use them. I only use luvs now.

My kids always peed through huggies

Make sure it’s pointing down

I always had problems with Huggies
Try a different brand

When u put the dipar on point his pee pee down

Frequent and heavy urination is a sign of Type 1 diabetes. My baby was barely 2 when diagnosed, and peeing thru her diaper was one of the biggest red flags. Take that baby in and ask them to rule out T1D.

I had the same issues and we moved to Huggies over nights they are absolutely amazing for this type of thing i how this helps you if you need a picture of the ones I’m talking about I can post a picture for you

I know every baby is different but all 4 of mine were in size 3 by 6 months old. I also use rascal and friends as they are made alittle bigger and keep them more dry. 🩵

I noticed with Huggies when they are little, they are lower cut than pampers so boys tend to pee out of them more.

Limit the amount of liquid he gets right before bed. And of course, go potty right before putting him down. And, maybe puck up something like puppy pee pads to collect the overflow.

Change his diaper before night feed. I use Pampers but find they make so many different kinds, I recently bought the wrong kind and they aren’t as absorbent I find.

This always happened to my son, I think, because he slept with his tush up and it would leak out of the top. I used a diaper pad with the diaper and that caught the leaks. They sell them on Amazon

Pampers over night diapers worked great for my children

Do you not change his diaper in the middle of the night? Not trying to be rude

Depending on how big your baby is you might still need to go up a size.

Please check for type 1 diabetes :disappointed: this happened with my now 2 year old at 16 months. One if the symptoms. It could be anything but please check :disappointed:

My mom used to put men’s incontinence inserts in the diapers

Change him in the middle of the night.

Simple change him when you go to bed or halfway through the night. He doesn’t even have to wake up, just do a quick change then nighty night for you.

Make sure his little boy parts are pointing down and size up in diapers at night time, that’s what I ended up having to do with my son

Rascal + Friends diapers!! By far the best for mine. And at a reasonable price

Too much liquid before bed

Sposies , they are kinda Maxi pad like and goes in their diaper, no leaks and no diaper rash. You can order them on Amazon I know.

Get night time diapers. And if its a boy, make sure his penis is pointing down when you put the diaper on.

Switch brands (maybe pampers overnights) then if that doesn’t work I’d see if it’s something medical

Put his peeder down toward his balls

This happened with my son. We ended up just buy a box of over night diapers of the same brand.
