Pee-pee problems...

I am at a loss for what to do here. The boys are waking up wet, wet every morning and I am about to go CRAZY :icon_eek: having sheets, sleep sacks and jammies to wash every day!!!!

Here is what we've been trying:
-ok, know it sounds crazy but we give them a bath before last bottle b/c they seem to pee a lot during the bath with the running water
-moved up a size in diapers; they are size 3 during the day but we put them in our fave Pamper Cruisers size 4...worked for about a week
-tried all the different brands of size 4
-was in the city yesterday (my sis had her twin girls! yea!) so I finally found some size 4, overnights...guess what, soaking wet again!!!

I have looked at those pad things you put in the diapers but they are like $20 for 16 of them...are you kidding me??? Surely I don't need to go up to a size 5 at night, do I? The boys are probably 19-20 lbs right now. Oh, they take a 7-8 oz bottle before bed. The drink the previous bottle at like 4 pm. I hate to change up their routine from bath, bottle, bed to bottle, bath, bed b/c they go down about 745 and sleep until 7 am.

HELP HELP HELP HELP! I apparently don't have the brains to know how to put crib sheets on without it ended up looking like a Friday Night Smackdown for WWF!!

We stopped using Cruisers and switched to Baby Drys. They just fit different and I don't have as many leaking issues with DS. Definitely the size up is a way to go, but don't go too big so that they just gap. You might buy a small pack of 5s to see what happens. They'll use them eventually.

I have heard good things about the Huggies Overnights.

Those pad inserts seemed expensive to me, too, so I just played around with different diapers until I found what worked.

We also switched to Baby Drys by Pampers as we encountered the same problem. Also my one guy, Jake pees alot so even now once in awhile he compltely soaks himself through the night. I noticed giving there bedtime milk early and changing them just before bed helped a little bit too.

 

LOL! I guess I would give the 5's a shot! I hope it works! I hate changing the sheets!

One more thing, are you "pointing" their little penis' down? That might help too.

 

My only suggestion was going to be Huggies Overnights. I swear they could hold a 1/2 gallon of water. Maybe your only alternative is to try the pads in the diaper. I know they are expensive, but if they keep you from doing loads of laundry every day it might be worth it.

Oooo, I forgot about that, we did that when they were little. Ok, I'll point them down tonight and see if that works and then maybe try the Baby Dry ones. Thanks ladies!!!
