NIGHT NAPPIES

Night nappies can be difficult with heavy wetting babies. Heavy wetting babies, are those that release most of their liquids at night. In this case if you find that you are not getting through the night and baby is waking up wet in the morning, we recommend the following:

1) Add boosters.

There is no rule as to how many boosters you can add to a night nappy. As long as the nappy closes fine, i.e velcro or poppers and wrap goes over nappy ok, there is no limit to how much you can boost your nappy.

 

2) Use wool covers

Wool covers are amazing. They can soak up to 30% of their weight without feeling wet. The nappy might be soaked through but the cover will be dry and so will your baby. Wool covers are good in so many ways. They keep the nappy at body temperature, without over heating the baby. They are breathable, baby will be more comfortable.

If you get leaks with wool covers they might need lanolizing. Lanolizing is the natural wool fat that was stripped off when it was processed. Lanolizing puts this natural property back into the wool, hence making it water repellant.

 

3) if the above doesn't work for you, you can opt for a disposable of your choice. We recommend, eco-friendly disposable nappies which degrade in the landfill only after a few weeks.
