Young babies waking during the night for a feed or a cuddle is par for the course, but your baby needn’t wake up because their nappy has leaked. Pampers are on a mission to get you as much sleep as possible and that’s why not only do Pampers Baby-Dry instantly absorb wetness for up to 12 hours, they also feature a revolutionary Stop & Protect pocket to prevent leaks at the back.

The best thing I did was to re-frame my expectations about what good sleep might look like, and stop believing that everyone else's child was sleeping better than mine. After that I just followed his cues without letting social media pressure me into anything different and suddenly I felt much better about the same pattern of sleep.

I have two under twos and I've found the most effective way to get sleep is be prepared. Have everything close to hand.
From pampers nappies and wipes to spare clothes and teething gel and spare dummies.

Nobody wants to fumbling around in the middle on the night trying to find things around the house. And don't you dare turn on the light and wake up everyone lol!

I have a baby boy a year and four months old. I don't change the diaper all night, so I choose safety and convenience. I use your brand of diapers and I am pleased with the panties, which are very easy to communicate with naughty kids.

Being a busy family of 5, I wish being able to have a tight routine was so easy. I have a 2 year old son and teenage daughters and sometimes work, school, clubs and nursery pick up means routine can go out the window due to a tight schedule.. but using pampers allows me to know that no matter what time he gets in bed weather he crashed early from a busy day or wants an extra half hour of family time.. he stays dry and comfortable for a better nights sleep! It’s always only been pampers!

BusyB911 • 05/02/2024 - 15:22

Have a consistent routine and once baby is in deep sleep transfer to their cot. Once they are older you can get them to fall asleep by themselves in their cot which will allow more independence as they get older, this has worked with my daughter and I plan to do the same once my son’s a bit older.

anitadobosz • 05/02/2024 - 15:23

After a bath and milk, I always put my baby to bed with a teddy bear, lie down next to him (on the floor:D) and sing lullabies. Thanks to the fact that my baby falls a sleep and wakes up in the same place, he sleeps all night long. Morning he doesn’t cry, I hear him when he talks. We only use Premium Protection nappies for day and night. No leaking and baby sleep all night.

Sticking to wake windows massively helped us and I also got rid of the dummy from about 5months as it was waking him when it fell out! A consistent bedtime routine

Danielle5109 Verified 05/02/2024 - 15:24

Routine, routine, routine!
Dinner, bath, pampers poonami proofs, warm milk and bed!
Just keeping the routine, and the steady pace makes all the difference.

Mum to 5 here, 9,5,2,1 and newborn, wow it's been a different experience with all, from that first poo getting stuck to my fingers and wiping it on my fire head too cha going a stoma bag on a baby and having nighttime bag explosions! Now I'm at newborn stage again and I've been through the pooy face again😭 send help xox

My little boy has just turned one and has slept really well since 3 months old. He sleeps through the night and I haven’t done anything in particular apart from a simple bedtime routine. About 6.20pm, we start our routine of nappy change, pyjamas, milk, story then bed. He’s asleep by 7pm. I still give him a dream feed at 10pm and he goes straight back to sleep and sleeps through til 8am.
I recently went back to work, and when I did, he started waking in the night. I just kept saying to myself that this was a phase and to push through. After 3 weeks, he stopped waking in the night and is sleeping through again. I think that helps to remember that not everything lasts forever.

its good to sleep when my little ones do as its me catching up with my nights sleep. in the event that i do wake up at night, i make sure my kids are well fed and changed before they sleep at night and wake up in a good mood.

Mum to a 2 year old and 6 month old and my gosh does that sleep deprivation hit hard. My
6 month old is a feeding machine and so used to wake up sodden every night and there's absolutely nothing worse than having to change a nappy in the night when you're exhausted. It wasn't until we swapped to Pampers Baby-Dry and sized him up to a 4, (the same size as his 2 yeat old sister!) That he started to get good blocks of sleep. I wish I'd done it months ago. He now sleeps 7pm-4am and then till 7am after a feed. Whoop whoop!

Newforestadventurer Verified 05/02/2024 - 15:31

Honestly having the tips from experts if a life saver, I’ve tired the routine method and also sleep training but nothing worked for our little one
We have let him build his own routine around bedtime and now he is sleeping 7-7!

Mommabear30 Verified 05/02/2024 - 15:33

Mum of two here. We start our evening routine with bath pyjamas and three stories, then I put the nightlight on put my baby into her cot and sit with her until she falls asleep. This can take quiet some time but over time it has slowly gotten easier, my baby still wakes in the night for a breastfeed though at 3am and then up for 7. I find that any naps after 3pm make for a very late night!

Hayze79 Verified 05/02/2024 - 15:34

I agree , a good consistent routine for your little ones . Down time with maybe some nursery rhymes , a bath ,getting them nice and cosy and have a story and low lighting.

Also if you have a partner and going through some rough sleep times (we had 9 weeks of no sleep when we went from 1-2 with our toddler) talk to them , letting each other know your not alone , and if you are single confiding with a friend, family member or referring to apps like these will
Help
Add support and reassurance that it doesn’t last forever x

Mum of 5.. 9years, triplets at 6years and now a newborn! It’s amazing how some things come flooding back and others you completely forget!
My older children are all girls and my newborn is our first boy, I was always told girls where hard to bring up once they start developing their own personalities.. let me tell you ive never been more tired than I am with my son. He’s coming up four weeks now and the only time he seems to have a decent sleep is on me or my husband or just after a bath but then that never lasts too long. Any tips are most welcomed

mirela123 • 05/02/2024 - 15:35

Just go with the flow 🙈🙈🙈 and one day eventually they will sleep

Oladunni • 05/02/2024 - 15:36

Mum to an 18 month old who started sleeping through the night around 1. She was exclusively breastfed till 6months so obviously not at the time. Weaning wasn’t too bad as well but we started feeding her high fibre cereals like weetabix and oats before bed with a lot of fluids to keep that little belly full. She was comfy throughout the night thanks to pampers babydry and now nappy pants. There’s a poo as soon as she’s up due to the cereals but no leaks and I love it lol

Maxibean • 05/02/2024 - 15:38

I have a 16 year old and a just turned 1 year old and I found by putting them to bed when I go to bed and top them up with formula milk on top of my milk, swaddling them and a consistent routine both of mine have slept 6-8 hours every night since around 3 days old. They may cluster feed in the mornings but with a decent night you can tackle pretty much anything they throw at you.

A bath before bed always seems to help
