In a new video, she revealed how sticking a pantyliner inside the waistband of her son’s nappy stops it from leaking when he sleeps on his front.
These are available from various retailers including Amazon, and using one a night will cost you just 4p.
She said: “This is the best ever hack I stole from the Gentle Sleep Specialist.
“For anyone who’s a tummy sleeper. Paddy’s was always wetting through.
“You want to turn your nappy inside out and on the front of the top, you want to stick a pantyliner onto it.
“Flip it back around, pop it on, and no more wetting through.”
Below the video, she added: “It’s so funny because you can see in the morning how much wee it actually absorbs it’s so puffy.
“We use a Poise regular panty liner because it’s super thin and lightweight, so he can’t feel it.”

“I’ll be using this hack with my 10-month-old. Thanks for sharing!
Another said: “Great idea. We double nappy for that reason but maybe this option is easier.”
A third wrote: “Best hack ever! I have been doing this for months !!”
Someone else shared their own hack, adding: “If you have a girl, size up 1-2 sizes and get boy nappies. Worked a treat for us!”
Another commented: “My son leaked through even with a sized-up nappy. I started putting a cloth nappy cover on and that fixed it. A reusable solution so no added landfill waste.”
