    Default Night nappy for tummy sleeping DS??

    I'm sure that this has probably been done before but can anyone recommend a night nappy for my 7mo DS (or point me to a previous thread)? He has started sleeping on his tummy sometimes and when he does, he wakes up saturated (the sheets are wet as well). I'm using a boosted BBB, I have tried both the PUL and wool covers and have had leaks with both. He still wakes up a couple of times to feed during the night so I need something really absorbent! Pockets are a no-go at the moment as he is teething and seems to be reacting if any PUL touches his skin. The boosted BBB does the job if he sleeps on his back but it is still VERY wet, so I'm probably wanting something even more absorbent than that. He is around 8kg and a bit over 70cm long.

    Do you change him during the night when he wakes to feed? Could do that to save buying more nappies.

    The only night time nappy I recommend is the Wild Child Dreamy Nights. The only nappy that will work on my tummy sleeping super weeing DS. Apparently most people do not even need a cover with this nappy. DS however certainly needs a cover, a nice thick wool one.

    I use a sandman night nappy (from sustainable hemp products) for my 14month old tummy sleeper, with a wool cover. I just lay the smaller booster at the front. That works well for us!

    Ours all have tummy slept too - we used Keester Kover AIO, Very Baby Simply Nights or my own night nappy, with the boosting popped to the front The thing I found you need for nights and a tummy sleeper is a nappy with a nice high rise. I liked mine to come up to nearly their belly button at the front.

    Yep that's a really good tip! I use a Disana wool cover for that reason too, it comes up a good 2-3 inches above the nappy. (The large one is almost under her armpits )

    Thanks everyone, I got hold of some Zada night nappies second hand and they seem great so far! They are almost too big on him at the moment and therefore have a nice big rise! 2 nights so far and no leaks To answer the other question, I don't change him when he wakes for a feed as he will scream the house down when I try to do it! (Unless there is a poo of course but he hasn't pooed overnight in a long time.) I will try a couple of the other brands too when I can get them at the right price
