    One of my girls occasionally has over night leaks. She's in the bottom range for size 3 diapers and she wears the Kirkland brand. I also have Luvs that she wears during the day and I've been afraid to try them at night because they are much thinner. I've heard people recommend Pampers Baby Dry and/or Cruisers.

    What do you all recommend?

    Wow, my boy is such a chunker. he's not even 5 mo yet and he's in 3s now. Your girls are 10 mo and in 3s.

    Anyway, I like pampers swaddlers. they seem to work well for nighttime.

    My girls were 10 weeks premature, that's why they are small.

    Another Pampers Swaddlers/Cruisers fan here. They've worked great for us. I use Pampers Baby Dry during the day and Swaddlers/Cruisers at night.

    A lot of people swear by Huggies Overnights. I've tried them, they worked fine on DD but DS leaked. Maybe it was because he was long and skinny and the diaper didn't fit as well on him.

    I'm now actually using a cloth diaper (Bum Genius) on DD and it's been great. I used to open her diaper in the morning and she would stink so badly of pee. The cloth diaper seems to be wicking away the urine better and she no longer smells, also her skin looks drier/better. DS leaked in the cloth diapers so I'm back to Cruisers for him. He never had a big pee stink problem anyway.

    Maybe try a larger size diaper on her overnight. Otherwise, it's just trial and error depending on the baby. I have used all varieties and brands.

    I like the pampers baby dry for overnight. I use a size bigger and have only had very few leaks (usually during growth spurts etc) or if someone else puts the diaper on them. ;)

    I would go up a size at night and if that doesnt work I would try the Huggies Overnites. I think the Huggies start at a size 4 but with our preemies of 8 weeks early they worked fine.

    My DS had major leaking problems until someone here suggested I try Diaper Doublers. They're an insert you put into the diaper to absorb more urine. We have them at Publix, and I've seen them at BRU. I highly suggest giving them a try!

    I use Pampers (Baby Dry) overnight and a store brand during the day (used to be Target when we lived in the US). Works fine for us.

    Actually huggies overnights come in size 3, but are hard to find sometimes. We use pampers cruisers size 3 during the day and huggies overnights size 3 at night and rarely ever leak out (I think maybe twice its happened- because they somehow opened the diaper a bit thru their PJs).

    We swear by size 3 Huggies overnights, they are hard to find in the stores, I usually order them off diapers.com

    I ordered my Huggies Overnights from amazon.com, they have free shipping and I got 15% or 20% off for signing up for the auto-refill program (not sure if they still have this discount but it was great because it was that same price for as long as you remained subscribed). It was easy to change the frequency of the refill and also you can cancel at any time without penalty -- good consumer-friendly program.

    We use diaper doublers too. Here they are only about $3 for 30 and they have saved so many sheet changes. They work great!
