    We also made sure our son was in onsies/sleepsuits at night time till about 2.5 as that way he didn't get access, as he used to sleep like Al Bundy, IYKWIM, and that caused some leaks as it wasn't the right direction any more.

    My daughter puts 2 nappies on her little boy, seems to work as he doesn't wake up soaking wet as much now. Another suggestion, try putting plastic pants over the top of the disposable nappy, the type of plastic pants you put on over cloth nappies (if they still make them?) Long time since I used them on my girls!

    I know I didn't start this thread, but just want to say thank you to the people that responded as I had the same problem with my ds. I took advice given and went a size up with his nappies, despite him not quite being in the weight range, and since moving up a size we have gone 3 nights in a row with dry pj's in the morning.

    Thank you :T:T:T
