Cloth Diapering Overnight: How to Make It Work

Using cloth diapers is easier for most parents during the day. However, when it comes to nighttime cloth diapering, things get a little tricky. Parents, especially exhausted, overwhelmed, tired new parents, are more than willing to put on a disposable diaper and have baby sleep uninterrupted. Well, what if we told you that you can do the same with your cloth diapers. That is true. Cloth diapering can be just as effective in the night as during the day and MUCH safer too as compared to disposable diapers. No harsh chemicals against baby’s bottom all through the night. Isn’t that wonderful?

Why is Nighttime Diapering Tough?

To begin with most babies are nursed or fed before they sleep and so if you have a baby who sleeps through the night, chances are he or she would soak his diaper in the middle of the night. Even if you’re doing middle-of-the-night feeds, changing a diaper is a whole different ball game and many babies get very irritable when their nice, warm bottom is exposed to the cold night air. So you need a nighttime cloth diapering solution to keep baby dry and your sanity intact. Here is how to make overnight cloth diapering work for you and your baby:

Increase Absorbency of Cloth Diapers

Begin by increasing the absorbency of your daytime diapers by using doublers, like the ones from Hemp Babies. Hemp is more absorbent than regular inserts and being thinner will not make a diaper bulky and uncomfortable. You can use the doublers in diapers like, the Flip or bumGenius Freetime and increase the absorbency ensuring fewer changes while baby sleeps comfortably.

Add a Layer of Moisture Resistance

Using cloth diapers that have a fleece inner that flicks away the moisture is another great way to make nighttime diapering easier since that lets baby feel dry and comfy. For instance, in the Flip, the inserts are made of 3 absorbent layers of microfiber and a smooth stay-dry suede that wicks away moisture from your baby's bum - keeping baby drier, longer. Coupled with a doubler, this diaper will be as absorbent and comfortable as a disposable, if not better.

Tweak and Try Solutions for the Perfect Nightime Diaper

Finally, remember that with everything related to cloth diapering, you will need to tweak the solutions you have till you find something that is perfect for both you and your baby. Have a question about nighttime diapering? Ask us in the SmartBaby Facebook community!
