Cloth Diapers - Night Time Cloth Diapering

Many parents who use cloth diapers confide to me that they use disposable diapers at night because they are afraid of leaks. In our experience, we have fewer leaks at night with a good cloth diaper because we can adjust absorbency. The few nights when I have tried disposable diapers at night, my daughter flooded our bed. Choosing the right night time diaper doesn't need to be stressful. Here are some ideas for keeping your little one dry and sleeping all night.

Obviously, your baby will be wearing a diaper longer at night once they start sleeping through a feeding or two. This is when many parents notice that they need more absorbency to keep everyone asleep and happy. Here are some combinations that have worked well for us or for my customers:

* A premium Indian prefold alone may be enough for a light wetter. For our little Niagara, we use a premium thickness Indian prefold cloth diaper with a folded hemp prefold as a doubler. This does make a bulky combination, especially when we pair it with a thick wool cover, but it is massively absorbent.

* Hemp and bamboo are more absorbent than cotton, so many parents swear by a hemp or bamboo fitted diaper with a doubler. A fleece cover works well for some heavy wetters, but for others they need more water-resistance. For these babies PUL (polyurethane laminated) covers work well.

* For some heavy wetters, a moisture barrier helps keep them comfy. Suedecloth and microfleece are both used as moisture barrier. Pocket diapers and some all in one diapers have these linings. Your best bet is usually a pocket that allows for adding doublers or an extra prefold folded into it.

Toxic Baby Products?

"How's that possible?" "I've been using what on babies?"

This was my reaction when I was researching baby products (during the development phase of Babies 411) and found out the news that most of the baby products that we know, love, and have used for years contain cancer-causing (carcinogenic) chemicals. What an eye opener.

As a NICU nurse, I care for babies that are compromised and are in their most vulnerable state. Now I find out that I have been unknowingly using and recommending unsafe products. Well, no more. I have taken a stand and made it a mission to educate mothers, caregivers and most of all healthcare professionals on the dangers lurking within our trusted baby shampoos, washes, lotions, wipes and more. As a healthcare professional, I know that parents are looking to us for the answers. And because of this, parents choose and purchase products that we use in the hospitals believing that this is the safest options. Why wouldn't it be if we use them in the hospitals? Unfortunately, we are unknowingly and unintentionally promoting bad products.

Want to know how to protect your baby from these toxic products? Here are a few recommendations:

1. Knowledge is power so do your research! Read labels and avoid those products that contain harmful ingredients. Learn more by reading our article "Protecting our Babies from Toxic Chemicals" at http://www.Babies411.com

2. Less is more. Be sparing on products that you use on your baby.

3. How safe is your baby products? Check out Skin Deep to learn more about the products you are putting on your baby.

4. Keep up-to-date on news surrounding chemicals in baby products (not just skin care products, but also chemicals found in toys, clothing, food, plastics and other baby products).

5. Love disposable baby wipes but want to avoid the chemicals? Make your own wipes. Want to learn how? Read our article Making Homemade Baby Wipes for the easy, breezy recipe.

6. Are you expecting a baby? Ask your hospital or childbirth facility what baby products they use on babies. If it's not a safe choice, bring your own and make your baby's first bath a healthy, toxin-free bath.

7. Help us spread the word. We are working hard with our favorite company, Earth Mama Angel Baby, trying to educate healthcare facilities on the dangers of toxic baby products and looking to phase these products out of our hospital systems. With your help, we could move mountains! Contact your maternity unit and express your concerns.
