Are cloth diapers better for overnight?
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. Simply adding an extra insert or looking for a cloth diaper booster can get you all the extra absorbency you need overnight.
