My son almost always gets a leaky nappy around 4/5am even though he is changed between 11/12. He also frequently leaks during the day when the changes are much more frequent. We switched to Huggies Extra Dry when this happened first but now those nappies are useless.


He is possibly between a size 3 and a size 4 (the 4 ones are way too big) and my husband thinks it's a boy thing since my daughter never had this problem.


Any other nappies I should be trying? I can't be the only one with this problem!


The 4/5am change in particular is very bad news as he thinks he is up for the day and impossible to put down again unless he comes into our bed.

I've been using the sainsburys Eco nappies from pretty much the beginning. A few leaks, but nothing major. A is now in size 4, but only just, so I'd try the 3's for now. (haven't got any left otherwise you could have had a couple to try). Huggies I've always found to be quite 'narrow', so this could be the problem if he's wriggling at night?
We had lots of problems with leaks out of the side with our little boy (to begin with, 2/3 times a night, which was a lot of fun). We found that nappies with elastic at front and back worked a lot better - the Nature ones in Sainsburys were good, or bamboo ones. Pampers were rubbish, unfortunately. We also had problems with "overloading" during the night - it indicated it was time to move up a size, even if he looked a bit silly in giant nappies.
Weird, as I too have to think it's a boy thing. My two girls never had leaky nappies and now our little boy has had several without even having very heavy or full nappies. We use Huggies organic cotton nappies (I used Huggies with the girls) and the fit is fine and snug just depends where, as Moi23 suggests, his willy is pointing (up or down), sorry if too much information :-$

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
