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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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 ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

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  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

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! ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

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 ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

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! ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

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 -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

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. -------------

Honestly, Woolworth Select! They lasted at least 6 hours but she could go 10 hours in it. I stopped changing her through the night (unless poos) at 8 weeks old (recommended by my PN because she was waking hourly (yeah it was a growthspurt!)) anyway they have been the best nappy so far!
Now (because I can't find them in her current size) I am using Pams and they're just as good! Hated homebrand - simply because of the tabs, but they are a good nappy. Huggies always leaked. Treasure giggles always leaked and Treasures Ultra varies for us  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I found any disposables I tried, even huggies, would leak overnight. So went to cloth got the pop ins, they would last 11-12 hours but sometimes get the odd leak so I added an extra cloth booster and voila, no more leaks. She is a very heavy wetter though, can fill a Huggies in 3 hours (away on holdiay atm jeesh disposables are annoying!!) ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
