The thought crossed my mind and we will discuss it at our appt next week.

Quick thought,

Have you talked with your doctor about this? Excessive urination is

a common symptom of diabetes.

Probably not, just in case!

for about three months (when we started LOD). LOD has been very

helpful otherwise so I don't want to give it up. He has been

soaking through his diapers, PJs and all his bedding nearly every

night. I didn't mind so much when he was in his crib but now he is

on an expensive organic mattress and the cotton and wool pads are

barely doing the job. I also try to change him in the middle of the

night when I apply his LDN. He is still waking up around 5:00 am

completely soaked through everything. I have posted on the LOD list

to get ideas about why this may be happening but I need help with

the diapers. I think the problem is compounded by the fact that he

is very thin and his bladder is bigger than his diaper allows. He

seems to hold it for a long time (often when I apply his LDN he is

still dry). Then it floods everything. I was using Huggies

overnights but ran out and haven't been able to find them in a size 3

> anymore. BTW, we are not chelating him other than TTFD & PCA- rx

(1 spray). Any suggestions on any SUPER absorbent diapers or other

ideas would be welcome.
