Nighttime nappies

[beec]

My little one has been waking up around 4am every night for the last week or so, after a period of sleeping through from 11pm till 7am (bliss!). I have worked out that its because his nappy is so full he is uncomfortable (tried to just pat him to sleep the first few nights and wasn't very successful then on the third night, daddy got up and changed his nappy and baby went back to sleep quite happily after that). So since then, I have been changing his nappy at 4am when he wakes up (this is also after changing his nappy at 11pm before his "dreamfeed"). Anyone got tips on the best nappies to use at nighttime which can last him through??

Which ones are you using now? I found Huggies the best for us (same scenario changing at 10/11 ish then on till morning) sometimes there was a little leakage but nothing too dramatic... I found Huggies better than Pampers and sadly the Nature ones not sufficient.

I used to use the next size up at night time and always used pampers

Thanks for your responses! I use Huggies at the moment. He is currently about 9 kilos and I am using size 4 which based on the recommended weight limit I should be able to continue using until he is 13 kilos (I think) so it should mean he has plenty of room. I don't tend to find much leakage but because the nappy swells with the fluid, I think he finds the bulk abit uncomfortable.

I've always favoured pampers over huggies for nighttime - I found that with huggies they would burst and leave little crystals on my daughter's bottom whereas pampers seem to be able to absorb huge amounts of wee
