Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 SHauna,What kind of pad are you using?Poise pads are what we started using on when he started the night time leaking.What about rubber pants? Tucking them up inside the cast....over the diaper.I can't remember what Mom used those, but it worked well for them.TashaMommy of twin boys- and 3 years oldFort Worth, Texas is 7.5 degrees and brace free during the day!!!Casting 14 months and bracing 10 monthsSubject: Leaking at nightTo: infantile_scoliosis Date: Thursday, October 9, 2008, 1:29 PM I was wondering if anybody had any advice how to prevent leaking at night. Hadley has been waking up with wet jammies from leaking at night for the last three nights. Its getting really old uptaping her, washing her, and taping her back up every morning. I already do the pad method and stick it in the front. Lately it seems like she always leaks on the side of her diaper. Any advice would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 hi Shauna... I am having the same exact issue with Luke~ the past three nights...soaked! (and I only have so many brace shirts) and I could not figure out since he had been doing fine for months...I think the issue is that they need to go up a size in diapers. We use the huggies overnites at night without anything else....size 4~ I am going out right now to buy the size 5. I think I remember from my first that was how I knew to go up a diaper size....she started leaking! hope this helps...natalie Leaking at night I was wondering if anybody had any advice how to prevent leaking at night.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I've not read the other posts, so I hope I'm not repeating. We used a diaper w/a Pullup over at night time. We'd also sometimes have to use the plastic training pants over the diaper to prevent leaks.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hey Shauna, We have that problem from time to time with Noelle too....(leaking from the side) She generally stays the driest when we use a Pamper's Cruiser diaper with a large Poise pad positioned slightly forward and set in the very middle. We started with the medium Poise pad and they were not absorbent enough.... The larger ones worked out a lot better. Hope that helps some!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Steph-Do you tuck the pad into the cast like you would the diaper? How do you get the big pad to tuck? We use the ultra thins and I already think there too tight when I tuck them in. Her cast seems to be super tight this time and Im having a hard time tucking the diaper in already... im wondering if thats where some of the leaking is coming from too... not being able to tuck the best without hurting her.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks everybody for the insight. Im going to try a couple different things. Ill try the plastic pants and maybe even the pullups. I just dont know how youd tuck either of those!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I always had the diaper tucked under the cast and I would roll the top of the diaper down, inside 1/4 of an inch or so to keep the leaks IN and then the pullup over top of that and it would just rest usually at the bottom of the cast and if I did plastic pants, I'd tuck them just at the top of the pullup/diaper. It worked for us..

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Shauna, we use the regular sized large pads and they sort of taper at the ends... In the back, it's usually just the back end of the diaper that we tuck and not so much the Poise pad. Usually if we position it right, we don't have a problem and we haven't curbed her drinking at all..... Some parents go a size down with diapers, but we found that we were more successful using her correct sized diaper (4) and the large Poise pad. We cast every 2 months and during that time frame we may get about 3 leaky diapers, but nothing major. Hope this helps a bit more and feel free to ask me again if it's not working out.... In Noelle's first cast, we had about 2 weeks of leaky diapers and it was a nightmare! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 This does make sense Tasha, thank you. I will try it. We always put it up in the diaper, but on the top part where it tucks into the cast. I will try it the other way and see what happens. I can't beleive I didnt think of that! duh hehe From: Shauna Rorabeck <srorabeckyahoo (DOT) com>Subject: [infantile_scoliosi s] Leaking at nightTo: infantile_scoliosis @yahoogroups. comDate: Thursday, October 9, 2008, 6:29 PM I was wondering if anybody had any advice how to prevent leaking at night.
