Cloth diapers are good for your baby's skin but only if you change them often. Cloth diapers are also often praised for being good for the environment. However, they tend to be less absorbent than disposables, so you need to change them more often. Using a cloth diaper allows your infant to feel the wet sensation against their skin and become more aware of when they have gone potty. Disposable diapers wick away the wetness, keeping your infant unaware of a wet diaper for longer periods of time. Using cloth diapers for overnight periods is certainly possible. But longer sleeps naturally require a little extra protection. Overnight cloth diapers may leak if they become fully saturated.
