Night nappies 5/6kg+

From 6kg/3 months old, babies are not changed at night. If you follow our guidelines below, baby will be very comfy all night long. Use a fleece liner closest to the skin which keeps baby`s skin dry.

Night options - get what appeals to you/ what you can afford.

1. Two flats and a OSFM cover.

2. The Siesta nappy and the OSFM cover.

3. The Snappit Pro nappy can be used at night by light to medium wetters. Try it. If this leaks before morning when using 2 - 3 boosters, opt for 1 or 2 above. Some babies wee more than others and option 1 or 2 are suited to heavier wetters/ babies that drink bottles at night. 

Two flats folded together 

How to use them?

Two medium or large flats are folded together (video here) and the OSFM waterproof cover goes over it. One flat with boosters is just not sufficient for more than 4 hours from 3 months old. If this leaks add 1 - 2 boosters in the nappy cover.

Siesta night nappies 

How to use them?

Fold the long insert into three (not two). Watch the video here. The fleece liner sits closest to the skin to keep baby dry. Place the waterproof cover over. 

Tips
For boys, position the inserts a bit more forward in the nappy shell and point his bits vertically down with the back of your hand, so he wees directly into the inserts. If he wees out to the side this can cause a leak. For girls place the inserts in the middle of the wet zone.

The OSFM nappy cover must cover the whole nappy- no nappy can touch clothing this will cause leaking. Maker the cover snug so it doesn`t move around. 

Must be used with the OSFM Superwrap cover not Snappit Pro covers.

Leaking night nappies

Expect a damp nappy in the morning (all layers will be soaked through to the cover) however if it is soaking wet or leaking, with no dry patches, add another one to three boosters in the cover. You do not need to be changing the nappy at night from three months old.

Bottle fed older toddlers:  Input = output. Regardless of the type of nappy, it can only handle so much. If nappies are leaking and there are still many bottles / a lot being taken in at night, consider dropping the volume in the bottle by 10ml per bottle, per night until baby can manage a smaller amount. This method works very well if done over a few weeks.

Heavier wetter solution

For the Siesta, place a padfolded flat between the cover and the nappy like this. This works for babies that drink a lot at night.
