dash-dash-dash. dot-dot-dot. dash-dash-dash.
Or is it dot-dot-dot. dash-dash-dash. dot-dot-dot? I can't remember...either way - HELP!
I have a problem. Well, I probably have many problems, but this is one that I think that you can help with. I have a heavy-wetter at night...and I don't know what to do about it. He goes through diapers during the night like they're going out of style, and I'm at my wits end about it all. I think that this could be "part" of the problem with his bad nighttime sleeping habits...he keeps waking up because his diaper has leaked again and who can blame him for being mad about it? Not me!
We use disposable diapers...go ahead, castrate me for it. It's our choice and worked well for me before. Jenna never had these leaking overnight problems. Jax likes the Huggies Little Snugglers/Movers best, and during the day they work fine. But at night? I always have to change him at his nighttime bottle just to try to avoid the mess, but lately he's not even making it until then...the diapers are leaking sooner! At first I thought that it was happening more often because he was growing out of the size 2 diapers...so I moved up to size 3. They work fine during the day, but at night...every single night...they leak on the front since he's a tummy sleeper. And sometimes they leak on the sides when he's snuggled up in his swaddle wrap.
So what should I do? Try a different brand? Try a different style (Huggies makes Snug and Dry vs. the Little Movers)?
The other options that I've looked at are overnight diapers, but I can't find them in a store under a size 4...so that's out. And then today, I was catching up in my Reader and saw this post where she talks about what they do at night...should I try cloth diapering just for the nighttime absorbency tricks that are possible? And if I do go with cloth diapers...where the heck do I start? There are so many options and brands and inserts...I'm truly overwhelmed!
What do you recommend? Surely someone out there has a recommendation...what do you do for your nighttime diaper situation? Thanks for any input you can offer me!!!
