If so, this article is for the you!
Finding the best cloth diaper to keep your little one dry at night can be a hard task. There's a ton of information out there and figuring out what will work can be frustrating. In this article, I will answer your questions and give you the top 5 best overnight diapers for your heavy wetter.
- I'm an Expert
Okay, "expert" may be a stretch, but I am a mom of 4 that has had the "luxury" of diapering 4 kiddos over a period of 11 years. That's roughly 19,520 diaper changes (give or take a few) - but who's counting? And I've had my share of diapers that work, and those that don't. So to save you the headache, I've included below the best overnight cloth diapers - IMO.
- It's All About the Pee
Some babies can put out anywhere from 22 to 30 ounces a night. So to truly stop leaks, it's about making sure the diaper you choose can hold up to what your baby can put out.
- It's All About the Fabric
To put it bluntly, to stop a leaky diaper pay attention to how much pee it can hold. All diapers are NOT created equal. As a general rule, diapers with microfiber inserts hold the least, while diapers with hemp inserts hold the most. Here's a quick list of fabrics from least absorbent to most absorbent.
- microfiber (synthetic)
- cotton
- bamboo / charcoal bamboo
- hemp
- zorb (synthetic)
- How Much Pee?
Use the chart below to find out how much your baby pees at night.
Now that you know what your little one is putting out, check out my recommended list of the best nighttime cloth diapers for your heavy wetter.

- A Personal Story
When I started diapering my first kid (a boy) he started leaking through every diaper imaginable at around 6 months. It was frustrating. It woke him up at night and it was hard getting him back to sleep. Not to mention, there's nothing worse than trying to change a baby and a crib sheet at 3 AM. And the idea of my son lying in a pool of his own pee really made me angry. So I set out on a mission to find a diaper that was affordable and wouldn't leak. My search eventually led me to make my own diaper, and later, my own diaper company - Pooters. My Hemp Fitted diaper holds up to 31 ounces. It's made from hemp fabric which is not only earth friendly, but crazy absorbent. The best part is that it lasts a really long time. Years to be exact. The same diaper that worked for him, also worked for my 2nd, 3rd, and ultimately my 4th kiddo. But my story isn't unique. Many of the parents that buy my diaper, used to buy disposable diapers for nighttime, but have come to only trust my diaper at night - saving a ton of money and tears in the process. If you're sick of spending money on disposables or tired of nighttime cloth diapers that don't cut it, I invite you to checkout my best-selling diaper. It's guaranteed not to leak (seriously, you can read all about my 30 Day Happiness Guarantee here). And if for any reason you are not happy with it, you can return it for free, and get a full refund.
