Hi, my 26-month-old son is quite big (98 cm, 19kg), and is in the largest size nappy (Huggies Junior) but still fills at least 2 of these at night. I tried DryNite (4-7) but this filled up just as fast. I tried adult nappies but these simply don't fit. Should DryNites be more absorbent than the largest Huggies?? Any suggestions? I'd really like to sleep trough the night without having to clean bedding the next day...
Children’s overnight urine output can be quite variable – parents of children who seem to pass a lot of urine overnight sometimes find it easier to change their child’s nappy just before they retire for the evening. You could certainly try him in DryNites they have a high absorbency level and are designed for children weighing 17kg. You can try and reduce his urine output by limiting drinks high in sugar as well as the amount of dairy he drinks in the evening as these are known to stimulate the kidneys. If you were at all concerned about the amount of urine he is producing I would certainly recommend you consult with your GP.
Regards,
Dr Cathrine
