Hi everyone.

My LB is 8.5 months and is a very restless sleeper. Up to now we've used Pampers baby dry for overnight 12hours and never had any issues.
However, he's now started rolling around a lot more in his sleep, rather than the wriggly and kicking he used to do.
He pretty much constantly moves around this last week or so - he has a good roll around every hour (sometimes less) and then eventually resettles either on his tummy or his side.
The last few nights, between midnight and 4am, he's woken up really upset and I've found that his nappy has leaked through his pjs and onto his sheet.
I'm guessing that all his wriggling around loosens the waistband and then the positions he sleeps in aren't great for leakage.

Any successful strategies or better brands for a wriggly baby?
I know there are active-fit nappies for babies who are crawling (which my LB is nowhere near reaching yet) - does anyone know if these are any good for over night?

Hi Jessica,

My little girl is also 8 and a half months old, really wriggly and never sits at peace! I started using the pampers baby dry active nappy pants and they are amazing! I use the size 4 ones
It was becoming such a struggle to get a nappy on her and when I finally got it on, it was all over the place [emoji23]
These just slide on and I think there a much better fit than taped nappies! We also use them at night and have never had any problems x

Brill thank you. I was thinking of trying those. He's definitely in the right size so I hope trying a different style might help!

Pampers active fit nappy pants! You can just pull them on and rip them off! So much easier! And they're so soft and flexible for wriggly babies! X

Hey I second the pampers nappy pants for bed. My little girls been wearing them since about 6 months because she likes to sleep on her tummy and would just wake up soaked through and her sheets wet aswell when in normal nappies. Since being in nappy pants she hasn't leaked x

Hi, my son is older (2 years old) but we use pampers active, he’s very wriggly and very very active. We’ve had no leaks so far, they come up high at the waist which I feel adds to the protection
