Night wetting & not sleeping?

Thank you for your suggestions, and not making me feel like I am the only one who cant get her child to sleep at night.

I also use Pampers Dry Nights for my son and have to say that even though they seem like a bag ready to burst the next morning, they still hold very well. Could it be that your son is feeling cold? I tend to put on an extra layer of clothes so that even when he removes the bedsheets he remains warm.

A friend of mine suggested to use a wash cloth in his diaper at night to soak up some of the wet before it gets to the diaper. I had success doing this. The only problem is what to do with the soaked wash cloth in the morning. My childs bedroom is on the second floor and our laundry room is in the basement.

I am having the same issue with my 14 mo daughter! Do not feel alone! She has been practically completley weaned from the bottle since her first birthday and now in the last month it is the ONLY thing that will comfort her if she wakes in the night. I feel awful giving in to her but I feel awful hearing her cry too! And as if that's not enough in the last three nights not only does the bottle not work by itself but she practically jumps in me like a monkey and won't lay back down without me! We've never let her sleep with us in bed and all of a sudden she is super clingy and won't sleep any other way wince she wakes in the middle of the night! What gives!!

huggies overnites are the only diapers my son can use at night that don't leave him soaked in the morning and i buy the next size up for instance my son is a size 4 and i buy size 5 overnites and that helps some too

Huggies Overnites have worked for us. We use Luvs during the day and they have worked better for us than any other brand, but overnight we needed something better as my son drinks a lot before bed. I do find that if they are the least bit too small, they tend to leak. Is it possible he is waking up hungry? My son has to have a snack and his milk before bed or he wakes up hungry during the night and won't go back to sleep until I give him something. I tried all kinds of things too before I realized that was what the problem was. Good luck!

Yes I use the Pampers Extra protection night diapers.

Have you tried Pampers diapers? I normally use Luvs, but at night I use Pampers to avoid leaks. So far, we haven't had issues with Landon waking up soaked, but that may be because we have a hard time getting him to drink a lot of milk. Unfortunately, I don't know what to tell you about how to get him back to sleep without drinking more milk. I hope you get some relief soon!
