Diaper Watch 2009 continues. I have tried everything. I honestly think I've tried every single suggestion people have so kindly given and Finn is STILL wetting through at night. First, we moved up from size 2 to 2-3 in Pampers Swaddlers. Then to size 3 in Pampers Baby Dry. Then I put the diaper on backwards to see if that would work. Then to Huggies Overnights. Then to Luvs (they say they have a leak shield which I was willing to at least try). Nothing. Poor baby wakes up every single morning soaked, usually from mid chest to his knees. I've contemplated putting two diapers on him, but haven't yet. Seems kind of weird and extreme. I can't really point "it" in any direction, as it pretty much points where it wants to. Argh. I feel like everybody else found a solution, why can't we?
Finn continues to have dry, red, irritated dry patches of skin. They don't seem to bother him, but nothing really bothers him, so how would I know? I recently tried Cetaphil lotion my friend Steph suggested. We are on day three of it, so hopefully it works. I SO wish he hadn't inherited dry skin from me. My "strong" chin, sure, but not my dry skin!
Oh and I FINALLY found Finn's Social Security card! I was so happy, I started dancing (Jim can attest to this). I lost his card months ago and hadn't written the number down anywhere, so we were pretty much stuck. Then I was going through the "to shred" pile in our office and I found Finn's SS card, the title to my car and one of Finn's birth certificates. Naturally. Isn't that where you keep these things? I've since written his number down in my "passwords" spreadsheet so at least I can find the number, if not the card, when needed. Now I just need to find the key to the safe so I can actually put them away. Oh, I wish I were better at getting and staying organized.

What about putting an 'extra shield over it' such as a gause pad or one of those tp tent things with the diaper? Not having a boy I couldnt tell you.
What about going in and changing him before you go to bed at night?
Hey,now that Dane is a tummy sleeper he was wetting through the Pampers Baby Dry, but at night I put on Pampers Night Time size 4 and they seem to be working. I've also read to try the Pampers Cruisers...did you try those? Sometimes I change him in his crib without him waking up too.....Hope you can find something that works soon!!
Thanks for the suggestions. I wouldn't want to wake him up and I don't think I could change him without doing so. I guess if it bothered him, he would wake up earlier so I could change him! I will try the Pampers night time ones, though. Somebody else also suggested them. I guess if it doesn't bother him, it shouldn't bother me, but yuck!!!
Ha ha about the shred pile. Who knows how anything ends up in that pile...blame austin. :)
Overnight diapers...for probably 2 months straight Q had new sheets, blankets, and pj's bc she peed through. Hell, she still wakes up some mornings at 5am peeing through her diaper, pants and to the sheets. I'm just thankful she drinks. And she gets an extra layer of butt cream before bed to help protect her skin! SO, if that makes you feel better or worse, I don't know. She pee'd through less with the Pampers Baby Dry and with Huggies overnights. But, still pee'd through.
Some kids....
That's a lot of pee! how about cutting up a diaper or making sort of an extra "pad" inside the diaper. Seems like if you just put 2 diapers on, he'd still soak himself when the first one was full. Sounds like you've tried everything!!!!
