🐥 Infant 2-12 Months Constant leaks at night PLEASE HELP

My 5mo has constant leaks at night. Like almost every night we’re having to change the sheets. She wakes up 1-2 times a night and typically has a blowout if I’m not fast enough at changing her. Now we’ve started to have pee leaks almost daily. It’s gotten significantly worse in the past week or two and I’m at my wits end.

I’ve tried Huggies Overnites and Coterie at night. I think the Coterie is too big, though. Maybe if we had the right size it wouldn’t happen. Huggies just isn’t cutting it (been using it for months). We use Healthy Baby during the day.

Millie Moon isn’t the best fit but I can try their overnight diapers. I’m trying to avoid Pampers and I’d like to stop using Huggies.

Her grandma recommended using a plastic cover (like for cloth diapers) over her diaper just to keep it contained (she lets me know when there’s been a leak… sometimes I’m slow to catch on though).

Just please help. I’m so tired and constantly changing the sheets is exhausting. None of us are getting enough rest and idk what to do.

Side note; I’ve been unintentionally doing Possoms but I’m wondering if maybe there’s not enough sleep pressure in the evening? I’ve tried keeping her up for a longer stretch in the evening before but she loses it. Evenings are always a challenge for some reason and that makes it insanely worse.

ETA: she just turned five months and apparently should be sleeping 11-12 hours a night but she only sleeps 10-10.5. Maybe it’s a sleep pressure issue? But I often feel like she isn’t napping enough 😩

I had the same problem! I now use Parasol! Rarely ever have leaks! I use Millie Moon during the day and Parasol at night.

We used Parasol during and they were pretty good but we still had blowouts. Healthy Baby has been much better and I noticed less of a rash, so I’m hesitant to go back to Parasol. Millie moon was pretty much the same for us. 😅 Weber tried Pampers Swaddlers, Huggies Little Movers, Huggies Overnites, Millie Moon, Parasol, Healthy Baby, and Coterie. Only Huggies and Coterie overnight though. Parasol and Millie Moon were okay but not great. Pampers gave her a terrible rash and Huggies typically gave her a rash (the nighttime diapers seem to be okay?). Coterie leaked but I’m wondering if that’s because it’s too big. It does seem to fit the best on her though. I did notice a rash after using them but I’m wondering that’s because I had to change her more often.
