I've had to change her sheets the past two nights in a row, and I can't remember the last time she's gone a full week without leaking. And last week, she had peed through her diaper by 2:30am! OMG.
Pee sheets? Nope, not funny, honey.
We've tried to cut back on her liquid intake at dinner and make her pee on the potty right before bed, but even then, she sometimes still leaks.
I have no idea what to do at this point. Do I really have to start waking her up in the middle of the night to change her diaper and take her pee? No bueno. We didn't have to do that for the boys until they only needed the less absorbent pullups at night which was easier than messing with a diaper. Any suggestions??
Oh man, I'm on a roll with the potty talk. First poop, now pee. You're welcome.
Umm, hi. My name is Noel and I have a daughter who leaks all the time!! I'm glad there is another little girl out there who can fill a diaper like no boy ever could, and it isn't just my Raegan. Her problem isn't that there's a lack of ample pee filling space in a single diaper...it's that she sleeps on her tummy all night long and it just keeps filling the front! So the back of her diaper is dry as a bone, yet her pajamas (shirt and bottoms) are soaked! This happens a couple of times a week. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I'm not alone!! And you're brilliant--I wonder if she leaks more when she sleeps soundly and doesn't move much so the pee all goes to the front or back. Never though about that before! And if that's the case, I don't know what to do...since I certainly WANT her to be sleeping soundly :)
DeleteI think it is totally a girl thing. Leila pees a lot, too. She is exactly 3.5 and has been potty trained for 1 year, but in pull-ups at night until last week. She's finally starting to wake up dry (YAY!) but I usually have to make her potty in the middle of the night. All I can offer for suggestions are trying out different overnight diaper brands and buying the little mattress pad toppers from Walmart. You can put them right on top of her sheets for an easy midnight change. That's what we do! We even keep one in the middle of our king bed so that we don't have to worry about our sheets when Leila crawls in be with us in the middle of the night. :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, what other overnight brands are out there that are good? We've only ever used Huggies. And I actually do have some mattress pad toppers I used when she was a baby for spit up mostly, so I'll have to get those back out (duh!). Thanks!
DeleteLogan did this for a while too! Have you tried going up in diaper size at all? That helped us some. UGH, it so so annoying!
ReplyDeleteHadn't even thought about going up a size. Again, duh! Of course, I've probably still got a month's worth of size 4s left, and those things are so expensive that I have a hard time just throwing them out. Ugh!
