Nighttime diapers don't last until morning. Will using just one size larger diaper at night prevent leaks, or will there be any problems?

Nighttime diaper leaking is really frustrating, and it waking you up is another layer of exhaustion.
Switching to a size up (for example, from size 4 to size 5) can greatly reduce leaking — there's no pediatric concern about this for your baby. Just make sure the leg elastics aren't tight and causing discomfort. However, not every brand gives the same result: sometimes using "nighttime diapers" labeled as such (extra absorbent) in the same size can be a better solution than sizing up. You can see which works best for your baby's body type with a couple of tries. What matters is that the leg and waist elastics don't squeeze the skin or leave marks or irritation.
