"YES YOU CAN" - USE CLOTH OVERNIGHT

If there is one thing that people struggle with when it comes to modern cloth nappies, it is using them overnight.

As one who has used cloth nappies over 2 generations, starting when there were no other options, I can assure you it absolutely can be done. I think the main reason people struggle with it is actually because with disposables and MCN nappies, we are not used to seeing babies with a huge bubble butt. Whereas when cloth was the only option, no one gave it a 2nd thought. And believe it or not, babies continued to learn to crawl & walk and sleep, despite the big butt nappies. 

At the end of the day, it’s not rocket science. You just need to have enough absorbency to soak up 12 odd hours' worth of wee, and something to stop the dampness in the nappy from wicking through to cloths & bedding. 

The downside of MCNs (pocket nappies) at night is that the same features that make them so trim fitting, also means they have a limit as to how much absorbency can be stuffed into them without completely the fit. So, if you have got to the point your little one is out wetting a maximum packed pocket nappy, it is time to start looking at using a night specific option.
