Boys and waking up with wet jammies

My DS is 7 months old and in size 3 diapers. They fit him perfectly and have a little room to grow.

Every morning he wakes up soaked in the front. I never had this issue with DD.

Do other mommies of boys have this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?

I don't want to size up the diapers because then they will be too big.

I also change his diaper right before laying him down at 8pm and I try to point his pee pee down in the hopes that he's not wetting the same spot over and over again.

have you tried the size 4? once we did he didn't pee through

Any time we had an issue with nighttime leakage, we went up a size just for overnights. That always did the trick!

Re: Boys and waking up with wet jammies

we had the same problem with our son...never with our daughter. we use huggies overnights (instead of his usual daytime diapers), we also went up a size AND put a diaper liner on him every night. The combo seems to do the trick!

Around that age, we had the same issue. I put my DS into overnight diapers and he no longer leaked through. He stopped needing nighttime diaper around 9 months.

Do you point his peesh down when you change his diaper?

The Ped laughed hysterically at my reaction when he told me to do that .........it was like a revelation -

Re: Boys and waking up with wet jammies

when this started happening we started with huggies overnights, 1 size up and make sure you point the weenie down and fasten the diaper tight and higher in the front!

We used Pampers during the day with DS because he would always leak with Huggies. Ironically though the only overnight diaper that kept him dry was huggies overnights. Perhaps trying a different overnight diaper will help.

I used Pampers Overnights and had to go up a size. You think they'll be too big, but they won't be. I used size 4 overnights and size 3 during the day.

we had/have that issue and my DS is 16 months. What has helped us is the Huggies Overnight. I usually buy a size up. They def help. Make sure it's his pp is pointing down.

we hve the issue but mostly when he sleeps over 12 hrs and gets up a lot @ night to drink.

we also sized up to a 4 due to this.

but i cant find the overnights consistently :(

Re: Boys and waking up with wet jammies

We used the extra protection diapers from pampers. We don't have an issue usually then

My dd used to have the same issue. So I switched to overnight huggies in a size up from her daytime size. They were big,but I just made sure to adjust the Velcro tabs tightly, and angled them downwards in the front to prevent leaks out of the leg openings.

Pull the front higher and make sure his penis is facing down. If that doesn't work you might want to size up just for overnights.

What about trying a diaper doubler?

Diaper higher in the front for sure.

With DS 1 I used diaper booster pads (also sometimes called diaper doublers) overnight. Not sure when I started them with DS1 - and don't feel the need for them yet with DS2 (6 mos old).

Booster pads on Amazon

Re: Boys and waking up with wet jammies

Overnight diapers one size up worked for my ds

Re: Boys and waking up with wet jammies

My 2 year old has been peeing through quite often lately. So I've been putting a size 4 diaper with a size 5 diaper over it. Sometimes it works, sometimes his pajamas are still a little wet, but it's a lot better than when he just wore the one diaper.
