Leaky Diaper? Try going up a size.

I’ve loved Huggies Overnights from the first time we used them.  But recently we started getting some leaks.  Even though the package says that the size 3 is for “16-25 lb” babies, and Cameron was only 18lbs and change a month ago at his 9 month check up, I decided to move up to size 4’s (22-37lbs).  And now, no more leaks!  I plan to move up to size 4 for his regular diaper as soon as I run out of size 3’s.

Sleeping through the night with Huggies Overnites

Hallelujah!  For the first time ever (with hopefully many more times to come,) my 7.5 month old baby boy has slept through the night – from 6pm to 6:20am.  Let me tell you, this mommy is ecstatic!  Of course, we have been working on this for a long time, but I think a large part of this victory is due to two things.  1) My sleep training book “Healthy Sleep Habbits, Happy Child” by Dr. Weissbluth and 2) Huggies Overnight Diapers.  I think on this post I’ll focus on #2, since #1 is a huge topic in itself.

In the past few weeks Cameron has become a tummy sleeper.  Overall, he seems to sleep better on his tummy than his back – and for longer stretches of time.

Except, we now had a leaking problem.  He had been waking up wet almost every night, and every morning.  This was totally new to me – I’ve always been a huge fan of Pampers, and never experienced many leaky diapers.  Obviously doing all this extra laundry was not cool, so I investigated “Overnight Diapers.”

The reviews on Diapers.com for Huggies Overnights were glowing, so I decided to give them a try.  Indeed, they worked.  I highly suggest them if you have an overnight leak problem.  Mommy FTW!
