diaper delimma

ok you moms out there, i need some advice please. before Caitlin goes to bed she usually eats anywhere from 6-9 ounces of formula and is sleeping through the night now. well, several times when she wakes up in the morning her diaper has leaked and there is a large wet spot on the sheet and usually her nightgown is wet. how do i prevent this? i have tried Parents Choice (Walmart brand), Luvs, and Huggies diapers plus using something called Diaper Doubles which are thick pads that go in the diapers. i am running out of ideas. the size 1 diapers are tight around her legs and leave red marks and the size 2 diapers fit the waist and legs but leave alot of extra diaper hanging below. so she's pretty much inbetween sizes.

if any of ya'll have some suggestions on things i can try, please share! thanks!!

From a guy's perspective, when everything else fails there's always duct tape! ;)

Hey Lani!

I've actually hard that Pampers work really well on girls and solve this dilemma. Maybe try that?

Also, I just started with the HEB diapers that are new. They are in a purple/blue bag. I think they are called HEB Supreme or something. Anyway, they have a lot of padding in the front. Maybe try them too? Hope you figure it out!

Pampers Cruisers are our favorite...they are pricier but by the time we have used two times the amount of the cheaper ones, it all comes out even. Pampers Cruisers...not Pampers regular. Works great for us!

we used pampers cruisers too. (i used those Diaper Doublers too occasionally) the only thing i can think of, is depending on when she goes to bed, and when YOU go to bed. . .if she is wet when you go to bed, could you change her without her waking up? maybe that would be enough.
