Top MCN Tips: Making the Most of Reusable Night Time Nappies…Always rinse after taking them off in the morning, try and have at least 5-6 in your stash, and hand knitted woolies over the top are awesome

Add lots of boosting to ensure it lasts the night and doesn’t leak..
Have at least three reusable night nappies. One in the wash, one for tonight, and one for tomorrow night. If your baby is stressed by wetness next to his/her skin, use a stay-dry liner like microfleece.
I chuck them in the laundry sink and give it a quick rinse. They have a pre-rinse, an extra rinse and an extra spin at the end of washing.
Use a microfleece liner to keep baby dry and avoid nappy rash (even if the nappy has a dry layer – 12 hours is a long time in a wet nappy). Give night nappies a hot wash every now and then to reduce ‘stink’. I also think breast or bottle feeding your older baby/toddler at least an hour prior to bedtime gives them time to have a wee before bed and hopefully do less in their night nappy. If you feed baby right before bed one of the first things they’re likely to do when you put them down is wee and then they’re in a wet nappy for a long time.
