My son is soaking through his diaper at night.

My son is soaking through his diaper every night. I change him right before bed, but then he is soaked through in the morning, He does sleep between 10-11 hours and there is no way that I am waking him up because he won't go back to sleep. Any suggestions would be helpful!! Thanks.

I put in a depends booster in the diaper. they used to sell diaper doublers but they are hard to find.

Friends of mine have used "diaper doublers" - you can get them at Walmart. They are kind of like pads that go in the diaper. I've also heard that the Huggies Overnights work well, too. I usually start with the next size up once the diapers are getting really wet. Good luck!

The huggies overnight work great! My son had the same problem. He sleep about 12hrs at night and we have had an occasional leak, but normally all dry using these diapers. You can get them at walmart. I think there are 52 diapers for 19 somthing. Hope this helps!

I use the Huggies Overnight diapers. I think they are $10.00 for 32 diapers or something and they have worked great! My son sleeps about 12 hours a night. Good luck!

My daughter was doing the same thing. I always put her in a size bigger than what she wears in the day time.

I have the same prob with my son, I put him in diapers one stage up from the ones he's in (Pampers Cruisers stage 4 instead of 3 :) It has stoped the soaking through problem.

try putting a diaper one size bigger on him at night, that seems to help for me. also, if you make sure his penis is pointing down , i've heard that's suppose to help as well (i have a little girl, so i only know from listening to my friends with boys talk/). i think they have night time diapers as well that absorb more. i hope atleast one of those helps you.
