Diapering At Night?
Yes. You can do it. In fact, you can likely make your current daytime diapers work overnight simply by adding doublers, or by using a different cover. There are no hard and fast rules, simply put, all babies are different; some pee a lot at night, some hardly pee at all. You basically increase the absorbency of the diaper until your baby doesn’t leak anymore. Night-time diapering isn’t generally an issue for parents of newborns since most babies will poop 24 hours a day for the first 6-8 weeks. You can’t let your baby sit in poop, so you have to change your baby through the night. When your baby stops pooping at night (praise be!), she will likely still be eating through the night, so you have to make the diaper more absorbent — she may wear it for 10-12 hours.
