Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 what type of diapers are you using?i find livie does not stay dry very long in the huggies brand of diapers.i prefer to use luvs.they are not only a tad cheaper(i think by about $1.00 or so),they seem to keep her drier even than pampers.i have 2 boys of my own and when livie came to us in december she was 4 months old(almost) and man,could she wet a diaper! my sister didn't use very absorbant diapers(storebrand i think) so she had a horrible rash too.try the luvs,she likes to look at barney while i'm changing her. lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 Hi. is went through a stage like that for a few weeks! She's always slept well through the night until then. I didnt think she was teething either....then one day I noticed she had a molar thru. That mightve been it cause she started sleeping through the night again. Have u tried Huggies overnight diapers? We've had pretty good luck with them. She hasnt wet through them yet. YET is the key word there:-) We also started putting a water proof pad underneath her just in case she did wet through. That way you dont have to change the sheets in the middle of the night when youre half asleep. Hope this helps:-) Dawn T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 Hi. I just wanted to quickly respond here. My daughter, Grace, just went through a kidney infection and all the joys that come with it (renal scans (2), bloodwork). I never knew she had a UTI! She had a fever, but I thought it was due to teething. BUT, in retrospect, she was peeing huge amounts! And, like , peeing through the diapers and sheets a couple of times a night! A baby with a UTI isn't common (and even less so with boys). But, think of it as food for thought. Kaye/subscribe/Plagiocephaly ----- Original Message ----- From: bthornton@...

The last 4 nights has been waking up 2 times and both times he has wet through his sleeper - change the diaper, change the sleeper, change the bedding! AHHHHHH. Anyways, he used to sleep through the night and the last few nights he's beenalot more restless and cries out more and when I do go to him he's wet through his diaper. Does anyone have any tips on keeping him dry? I'm sure if he wasn't feeling damp he wouldn't be so fidgety and then start crying. I don't think teething would be the reason for the fidgetiness because he's cut all eight front teeth and I don't think he's getting molars yet - I hope not. Thanks everyone!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 , I don't know how old is, but if his diaper is not too big/small, maybe you could just put plastic pants over the diaper? Also, You could put one of those cloth diaper changer things under him when he sleeps so if it gets wet, you don't have to change the sheets, too. Good luck!

I know they also have " overnight " disposable diapers, yet they were pricey & I was already gagging at my diaper costs, so the inserts were cheaper & worked great! I also think boys have a tendency to dampen their clothes more due to always wetting at the front of the diaper, whereas girls are more the bottom of the diaper. I hope you can find the inserts, I recall they are cheap, so give em a try:)! Kimry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 is almost 10 months old. It's not that his diaper gets soaking wet, he's been way wetter and not leaked. It's like it comes out the sides where there's no absorbancy. I just got back from the store and we don't get luvs here so I bought I bigger size to see if that will maybe help. ----- Original Message ----- From: KENT A <kanswede@...> <Plagiocephalyegroups> Sent: Friday, May 19, 2000 2:02 PM Subject: Re: Any Suggestions? > , I don't know how old is, but if his diaper is not too > big/small, maybe you could just put plastic pants over the diaper?

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 , We have alway's used Luvs brand diapers.They hold an amazing amount of urine ! Also as far as the wetting the bed goes maybe you could wrap an extra receiving blanket across the middle of the crib where he usually has his bum.Then when he does wet himself you just have to change the diaper and sleeper. Also maybe you could use those little plasic pants that are supposed to go on the outside of the cloth diapers.Just put them on top of the disposable diaper.This should hold the urine in also. I hope you find something that works for you.SOUnds like you guys need some sleep. ) ~Jill ----- Original Message ----- From: <bthornton@...> <Plagiocephalyegroups> Sent: Friday, May 19, 2000 1:58 PM Subject: Any Suggestions? > Hi Everyone, > > This is a non-plagio post but I thought I'd ask you guys.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 She didn't have any other symptoms, . That's what the scary thing is. She wasn't fussy, she didn't "act" sick, her urine didn't have a funny smell or color. She had a fever that had been lingering for a while. But, I had taken her to the doctor in the very beginning of the fever and was told she might have a cold or it was teething (which, given her other "symptoms" at the time, seemed more than reasonable). I'm not angry at her pediatrician for missing it, because she wasn't exhibiting any symptoms of a kidney infection and it's just not that common in babies. It's only in hindsight that the sudden and constant waterfalls every night made sense.
