    haven't read everyone's reply but this is also a good indication that you may need to go up a size. ;) I prefer pampers cruisers buts thsts just me. my little guy was a huge wetter too, going up a size ALWAYS did the trick.

    I always bought the generic brand at Walmart, I think it was called "Parent's Choice". It worked just as well as the expensive ones.

    Aside from getting up to change her during the night; you can get plastic diaper covers (Gerber makes some). They are very useful when pottty training BTW :wink: My only concern though would be that she would get a rash. With one of my girls we always used Huggies, with other Huggies gave her a rash so we stuck with Pampers. Funny how each kid is different!

    Someone said it already, sounds strange but the Dollar General diapers are the best ones I have used with my kids.

    This is likely just a stage that she'll get through. I, myself, use pampers because my son always leaked through Huggies.

    same.

    Both Huggies overnights and Pampers extra protection (overnight diaper) Come in size 3. I recommend buying a small package first because those diapers tend to run more expensive. Also she might need a bigger diaper, my son always started leaking though when the diapers were getting too small.

    luvs works for us, parents choice, and believe it or not the dollar general brand diapers are probably the best we've ever tried. lol

    aren't you lucky! my little one breaks out in a diaper rash if we use any off brands. pampers, luvs, or huggies are the only one's that don't bother him. we usually put him in pampers.

    My son breaks out in rash in any other brand but Huggies, Costco, or Albertson's brands.

    i didnt know they made overnight diapers, in a size 3 do you know? As for Luvs, they give her a rash

    Yes.. the first time we found them was at Toys-R-Us but the closest one stopped carrying them. Now we get them from Amazon.com (my 2 yr old is a skinny minnie and still in size 3)... Subscribe & Save and the Mommy program (whatever it's called)... two month supply of Huggies Overnights for $15.00.

    p.s. Munchkin also gets rashes from off-brand diapers and Pampers. I swear by Huggies.

    oh, that will happen at various stages of growth. Sometimes they are in between nappy sizes or their little body is just changing.

    I suggest asking some friends who use different brands to give you a few to try out (if possible), or buy some small packs of different ones to try till you find the one that works at this stage.

    In the meantime, use a chux or washable waterproof pad under the bum to save you washing sheets every morning.

    Good luck.

    ya my biggest problem is she has gotten used to having a bottle right before bed so we get a fresh diaper and jammies on and then have her bottle and she goes right to sleep

    my son is the same way.

    PAMPERS CRUISERS!!

    My first daughter was ok with any diaper, so she was able to use any generic store brand which for daytime was fine. But night time, she leaked, so I used Pampers Cruisers. They were her 'night-time' diapers.

    Now with my 2nd child, she has very sensitive skin and kept getting diaper rash off and on until I realized it was the diapers themselves. The only brand she wears now are the Pampers Cruisers, and she doesn't leak, and hasn't had a rash since. They are more expensive but worth the nice dry rash-free baby bum. Hopefully my next box will be the last... Potty training...

    Thanks, I need it. My girl is a Cars and Toy Story fanatic, so I am buying 'boys' pull-ups (with those characters on them). Now that I'm talking to her about 'panties', she wants 'woody-buzz' or 'mcqueen' panties. Do you think she would be scarred for life if her first pair of panties were boys underwear? :ohwell:

    I swore by Pampers Cruisers for both of my kids...... They never failed me and held in some huge messes if you know what I mean. That being said I really think it all depends on body type.... each kid is shaped different and you just have to figure out by trial and error.

    Huggies night time ones work a lot better for heavy wetters.

    That what we used, and they worked great!
