Default Re: Quick ? for moms of boys! (xpost)

We too had problems with Mason's diaper leaking. We used disposables and found only one brand in Australia was absorbent enough - Huggies - the most expensive of course! We also found that as he got bigger the worst leaking occured when he was ready to go up a size. Also we had to make sure the tabs were firm enough and that his wee little fella, was pointing down. Most of the leaking came up the top-front. We ended up double diapering at night, with a pair of terry-toweling "trainer pants" on top - even then his sleeper would be damp in the morning.

Welcome to the world of boys and wet clothing/bedding!!

Mason seems to have an enormous volume of wee. He still wears a pull-up night-time diaper thingie at night and we learnt long ago, to make up his bed in layers for easy stripping (and no need to re-make should he leak and wake during the night - just take off two layers) : mattress protector, followed by waterproof sheet, normal fitted bedsheet, another waterproof sheet, normal fitted bedsheet. We now have one of those bedwetting pads on top of his sheet - it's wonderful as tucks in just across the middle of his bed and is quilted cotton on top and waterproof underneath- it's meant to draw the moisture away.

Good luck!
