 Topic: night nappies

What nappies did you find were best for nighttime?
DS is 6 weeks old and I'm having to do multiple nighttime nappy changes so I'd like to find out what nappies are best to try cut down on this.

If your using cloth then a bitti boo or a pop in- the original bamboo one.

I have actually found all the nappies we have tried to work well! DS had skinny little legs and we had so many accidents in the early days (I had 6 bassinet sheets and contemplated buying more!!) but they then just stopped - not sure if it is because he had been losing weight but then started to gain ALOT so his legs filled out.
Anyway....the ones the have held overnight (12 hours+) for us are: Huggies, Treasures Ultra & Giggles (think there is a new Treasures brand which has replaced these), Babylove & Homebrand.
Good luck

I was using sposies at night but was having to change DS and bedding at least twice a night, so I ended up getting a Bitti Boo and haven't regretted it for a second. I haven't had a single leak since changing to cloth.
I tried Huggies, Pams, Budget, Treasures, Homebrand - all with at least on change a night, usually 2.

at that age i didnt expect my nappies to last all night anyway and would change them when they woke in the night anyway. i think it is par for the course to have to do night changes.

I disagree with Bizzy, I dont think there is anything wrong with expecting a nappy to last the night and from 4 weeks old only changed nappies at night if it was a pooey one...
I have never had leakage problems with J though, he is a small wetter so we can use anything... I do prefer huggies though.

Nappies didn't last all night for me until about 6 months! So I agree with Bizzy, however from about 3 months I wasn't changing everytime she was up.
I do have a night waker who has a feed when she wakes so that's probably why I was doing night changes for so long.

I dont mind doing a change during the night. I do mind leaking through 4 nappies between 22h00 and 06h00. Its excessive to have to change him after every feed day and night (he's still feeding 2-hourly).
At the risk of sounding unhinged, at some stage I need to sleep, eat, shower and go to the toilet myself and at this rate I'm having to pick one

Not unhinged at all!
H was a terrible leaker when a few weeks old, I found huggies worked best - maybe go up a size? And with cloth, a snazzipants fitted nap with a prefold inside as a booster and a bummis whisper pant did the trick.

Huggies worked well for us here. I only changed pooey nappies overnight from a few weeks in as well.
Can you still get those Johnsons blue nappy liners (cloth) that look like chux cloths? I used to use those overnight for the boys I nannied for in NZ. Just an extra bit of absorption for the front of the nappy!

Ok, have picked up one pack of treasures ultra and one pack of pams ultra and will try them tonight! Hold thumbs!
I'm using up the babylove, homebrand etc for daytime and changing 2 hourly.

Tom started leaking through huggies at exactly the same age- I ended up putting a pocket nappy (without the insert) over the top of the nappy and it stopped any leakage

i suppose if you think its alright for a baby to sit in a wet smelly nappy there is nothing wrong with it... my boys never seemed to mind so much but my girl did.
I never had much luck with treasures either and used to use Air nappies i brought on line.
if its cause you dont want leaks you could always put a wool cover over the top. they can hold a lot!

Um yeah I agree! It's WAY to early IMO to expect a nappy to last all night so young lol. Once you do get to that stage though, I found BabyLuv cloth nappies awesome for staying leak free all night

I've found that the babylove nappies are the best for Koby - he normally last's the whole night in them. We also use them for the twins and they last the night in their ones also.
