TTMA: Overnight Diapers

[teachermomtobe]

As a n00b mom I just learned that overnight diapers are a thing.  Anyone use them so you don't have to change middle of the night?  Brand suggestions?

I used the pampers overnight diapers with DD. Not until she was STTN though.

We didn't use overnights with my older kids till they slept all night. But this baby has already leaked out of his diapers at night so I was considering getting some. I don't usually change diapers at night unless I smell poop or baby seems uncomfortable.

I never used overnight diapers with DD1 cuz it was never an issue.

At this point DS2 poops nearly every time he eats so I change his diaper every time I feed him. DS1 was the same and I can't remember when it changed, but when he just peed overnight we used pampers baby dry and didn't change it until morning.

It hasn't been an issue with P yet. She likes to poop, so she gets a fresh diaper with almost every feed. If I don't smell poop then I don't change her but that's very rare. She hates her diaper changed and screams through most of it, so if she's just wet I'm leaving it.
I didn't ever really need overnights for C. I think we tried pampers baby dry for a little while, but mostly because I bought the wrong diapers or they were on sale.
Another option is going up a size for night time. (I never had to do this either.)

Chiming in even though we use cloth, E is a super pooper and will poop twice a feeding

We use cloth too, but continue to change at every feeding until they stop pooping at night. Then we used overnight cloth and stopped changing.

I started using them when DS was older. Maybe a year old or a little earlier. They're expensive. You could always size up. I actually size up in the overnights too. I think pampers discontinued the overnight ones that aren't swaddlers we use the baby dry

[wineoclock]

Just chiming in to agree with the others. When LO is still pooping overnight we change at every feed. Once it's just pee we went a size up for nighttime.

[sdlaura]

We had some baby constipation issues early on, but now baby is pooping enough - but is somehow already on a bit of a pooping schedule? A giant poop when he wakes for the day but normally none overnight.

Overnight diapers are really only a good idea for older babes. I personally wouldn't use them before 3 or 4 months, or when baby sttn. Skin is so sensitive at this age that I wouldn't want to irritate it. However, they're fantastic for later when kids start wetting through their regular diaper. I usually buy the size up in overnights.
