How often should you change your newborn’s diaper at night?

Keeping your baby comfortable and dry during the night

Caring for a newborn means learning when and how often to change diapers, especially at night. Many parents in Switzerland wonder how frequently they should change their baby’s diaper and whether using the right diaper can make a difference. With a Lofties diaper subscription, you can ensure that size 1 diapers (2–5 kg) are always on hand, keeping your baby comfortable and dry without last-minute store trips.

Why newborns need frequent diaper changes

Newborns have very delicate skin and underdeveloped bladder and bowel control. This means they often urinate and have bowel movements more frequently than older babies. Leaving a soiled diaper on for too long can quickly lead to irritation or diaper rash.

Changing diapers promptly, especially after a bowel movement, protects your baby’s skin and helps maintain comfort throughout the night.

Typical newborn diaper use

Most newborns require 6–8 diaper changes per day. During nighttime feeds, it’s usually fine to wait until your baby has finished feeding before changing a wet diaper, as long as it isn’t soiled. Lofties size 1 diapers feature a wetness indicator, making it easy to see when the diaper needs changing without disturbing your baby’s sleep.

How Lofties diapers reduce nighttime worries

Lofties diapers are hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, and free from harsh chemicals, making them ideal for sensitive newborn skin. The snug fit, highly absorbent core, and wetness indicator help minimise leaks, allowing longer periods between changes and fewer disruptions for both baby and parents.

Tips for parents

  • Check diaper fit regularly, especially after growth spurts.
  • Change diapers promptly after bowel movements to avoid irritation.
  • Use a Lofties diaper subscription to always have the right size on hand, reducing stress and last-minute shopping.

With these tips and the right diapers, parents can enjoy more peaceful nights while keeping newborns dry, comfortable, and happy.
