Diaper Question

Hi,

 My 8 month old son now loves sleeping on his stomach and he is waking up every morning soaked with pee.  I'm not sure what do do.  Should I go up a size in the diaper or I've heard they have overnight diapers not sure if those will help...any suggestions?

    we had to switch to overnight diapers and now pull ups because we've got a very prolific pee-er.  they worked great.  i've also heard with little boys to make sure they're penis is "facing down".  might help?

    Where's it leaking from?  The legs or the top?

    We've never really had that problem, but I've always heard to go up to the next size as soon as they hit the min weight for that size.

    Yep, we had this issue too!  I would try pointing it down like PP suggested; and also the Huggies Overnites have worked well for us.

    we had that problem around that age too, randomly.  we switched to overnight diapers for a few weeks, but then switched to seventh generation diapers in general for all  times of day/night, and they are much more absorbent (i've found).  no leaks since!

    It's leaking from the top.  We have some bigger size diapers so maybe I'll try that tonight.  Thanks!

    even with pointing the PP down if he sleeps on his belly it still seemed to leak. hopefully the bigger ones will work for you!!

    We used Huggies overnights when Ben was that age and they worked great. Now we use cloth diapers on both kids b/c Ben can pee through even double disposable diapers. The cloth ones ROCK (unless he sneaks a full sippy of water right before bed like he did last night then sleeps in an odd position) ;-)

    just be careful with the bigger size because I've found that they leak more because they don't fit well enough.  I use overnights for my little guy. He's been a tummy sleeper since 6 mos old, and definitely point him down.
