Answer: The consensus is that it’s okay to let your baby sleep without changing diapers at night. The rule of thumb is that wet diapers at night are okay, but number two diapers should be changed when you catch them.
Not every diaper change may require a wipe. If your baby has only urinated, then you can probably skip wiping to avoid unnecessary irritation. However, if they have had the ‘full’ toilet experience in the night, you must change it. You can use warm wet wipes or cotton wool in warm wringed in warm water. When changing, be as gentle as you can, and if their eyes are open, do not look into them as they become stimulated (sounds sarcastic, right? ). Anyway, remember there is no excitement, so get in and out as quickly and covertly as you can!
Remember to always wipe front to back to help prevent the spread of bacteria.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that while you might think it’s more advisable to use disposable diapers at night, you can actually use a nighttime cloth diaper that is more absorbent, so your baby doesn’t wake during the night with leaks, or feet wet with the use of quality night-time diapers.
