   They have things called "diaper doublers" which are basically like maxi pads that you put inside the diaper to add absorption. Around 1 is when they’re sleeping longer periods and taking in huge quantities, it’s normal to go through periods of soaking through. Try limiting the liquids that she takes in at the 7:30 feed (eg. give her a full glass at dinner at 6, but then only give her a couple ounces if she needs a 7:30 snack. If 7:30 is your dinner time, then try giving her less milk at that time). Most of the fluid should pass through in 1.5-2 hours, so try changing her right before bed so she’s completely dry when she lays down. Eg. bath, pjs, story/song, etc. and THEN change her one more time before putting her down. It seems like a waste of a diaper because she’s probably not *that* wet between bath and bedtime, but if it cuts down on the amount of laundry you’re having to do every morning, it’s worth it!

   Edit: I also use "The Ultimate Crib Sheets" which are a waterproof pad and sheet in one that sits on top of the regular sheet and snaps on the crib bars so you don’t have to go through a lengthy changing process. http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Comfort-Ultimate-Crib-Sheet/product-reviews/B00003XAKP

   what about folding a smaller diaper (inside out) so that the absorption layer is still against baby’s skin and put a regular diaper over top. I have not tried but someone did recommend this to me when my son was leaking through. (A bigger size helped us with our problem).

   The pampers overnights worked for me, but, if they didnt I think I would double up too

   First off, believe it or not my best experience with keeping my son dry has been using the babies r us supreme diapers (they have a regular and a supreme) These are SO very absorbent, they are the only ones I have never had an overnight leak with knock on wood, and the price is great. Also, I wonder if you could put one of those plastic covers over her that people use for potty training or cloth diapers. Hope this helps.

   I had the same problem with my son when he was that age and what i did is used plastic diaper covers they keep all the liquid inside the diapers, and u can get crib sheets that are lined underneath with plastic. and if that fails you may want to start to potty train a Little early
