How many hours is the maximum to leave my baby during night in the diaper? i don't change coz im afraid he might wake up
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Until they wake : Today's super absorbent diapers are designed to pull moisture away from the skin into material in the fabric. It's the moisture that over hydrates the skin & sets them up for diaper rashes. Most kids can sleep 6-9 hours in a diaper & not have problems. Those using cloth diapers & heavy diaper covers will trap moisture & have more problems with rashes if left overnight.
