My daughter sleeps on her stomach and knees. For some reason when she pees, it goes up and out, soaking her and her bed. I dont want to make the diaper any tighter. Am I the only parent with this problem?

These new biodegradable diapers stink!!!! Try Luvs and a little corn starch or powder. I had good luck with those! And use the overnight diapers!



I also bought waterproof material at JoAnn's it's got a waterproof center with a fabric covering. Just took the stuff and put it under their sheets. It doesn't make them sweat and it's washable and it doesn't slide around on the bed. Helps BIG TIME with the smell! Lasted me about a year before the fabric covering peeled off.



(My Grandmother found this stuff when my Grandfather started having problems and it's AWESOME and cheap)



I still use it with my bigger kids.. it's fantastic when they get sick. I have 2 for each bed... I even used this on my bed when I was breast feeding, no sour milk smell... Love love love them!

No your not the only one. Promise. My daughter sleeps on her stomach every night and wakes up with herself and her bed soaked as well as her favorite teddy bear. It is nice to know that I am not alone. I have tried bigger diapers at night and that still didn't work. The one thing that I have found that works for me is to put a crib mat under her sheets and just try to handle it. It is hard but there really isn't much we can really do. I am currently in the process of potty training and that has helped alot with the bed wetting at night.

Not with my son, but my mother took photos of my twin sister and I at that age as we slept: we soaked through everything night after night. Mom never could find a solution. She had to strip the cribs every morning.

I have tried lots of brands too and believe it or not, Target's generic version is the ones I have had best luck with.

Since we stopped giving my daughter a bottle, she seems to wet less often at night.

Some nights, when she had a bottle it didn't matter what diaper she wore. But I have bought pampers, huggies and walmart's generic version "parent's choice" and they all leaked EVERY night.

Target's brand does leak on occasion, but maybe once a week compared to every night which is what others do for me.

Maybe cut back on fluid comsumption at night? Just a thought!

I had that problem, too. I have started her nighttime drinking a little earlier and I live by the nighttime diapers. They help a lot.

NO my sons sleeps the same way and almost every morning he is soaked. I have tried the goodnight diapers and other brands of diapers, i find that the pampers cruisers work the best during the night for my 20 month old son. Good luck.

I have the same issue. Even going up a size still doesn't work. I guess my son pees alot or maybe the brand
