So curiosity about cloth nappies has led me to fully cloth nappy my baby during the day.

How did I transition to cloth nappies at night-time, and for long sleeps over 4-6 hours?

In the old days, using nappies at night simply meant doubling a cloth terry nappy, and putting a BIG cover over the top.
You can just imagine how big baby’s bottom would be!!

Following comments from this post about cloth nappy tips and questions, this week I intend to share, over 2 or 3 parts, how night time cloth nappying is just as simple to perform as daytime, by following a few key tips.

In the first part I will mention how baby’s sleeping patterns may affect night time motions, and share some simple tips to reduce wetting at night.

In the second part I share how certain daytime nappies can be converted into nappies suitable for night time use by following a few simple tips, saving you money from using disposable nappies.

In the third and final part I will talk about dedicated night nappies, the types that are available out there, and all you need to know about using these specialised nappies at night.

Note that any advice or tips I share should take your baby’s needs and the needs of your family into account before deciding whether to follow them, as every baby and every family has different circumstances.
