The Truth about baby nappies and sleep

As I sit here pondering on this topic, 34 weeks pregnant with my second child; a nurse in the midst of a pandemic, I can identify with the reality of sleepless nights and the desire to only want what is best for my children.
Despite the many factors that can keep a mother lying awake at night, a wet nappy and an unhappy baby does not need to feature on this list.Some helpful tips to promote better sleep:
• Get into the habit of changing baby’s nappy just before the last feed at bedtime and don’t change it during the night unless it is very wet or dirty. As these AAA Grade nappies are super absorbent, there is no need to wake your baby at night every time baby wets the nappy just a little.
• It is essential to ensure that you have the correct size nappy to fit your baby’s weight and build, as the perfect fit will prevent positional leaks when baby is lying down.
• If you have a newborn baby who wakes for feeds during the night – change baby’s nappy first and then feed or change it mid-feed. If you change baby’s nappy after the feed, you may wake baby completely.
• If your toddler is a heavy wetter and routinely has something to drink right before bed, perhaps a routine change is in order? Try to ensure that your toddler’s last drink of the night happens at least an hour before bedtime.
• When changing baby’s nappy be sure to avoid bright lighting, noise and making eye contact; as this may cause baby to wake completely instead of easily drifting back to dreamland.
• For extra peace of mind why not apply some Hi Baby Daily Barrier Cream at bedtime for extra protection.
Making Hi Baby Premium Nappies and Pull Ups a part of your bedtime routine is the difference between waking up at night to a crying, cold, wet baby versus a good night’s rest, with 12 hours of dryness. With their super absorbent core and perfect fit, you can rest assured that baby will sleep warm and dry in these cold winter months. 1 Hi Baby nappy = 1 dry night and a happy, rested mom.
