Why Co-Sleeping Demands Better Diapers
~31% of US parents co-sleep at some point in baby's first year (per CDC parent surveys). An overnight leak in a co-sleeping setup means full sheet change + waking parent + waking baby. Cuddle Kin's bamboo overnight diaper has ~7% leak rate vs ~14-20% for synthetic competitors. Additionally, OEKO-TEX 100 Class I = no fragrance — important when baby breathes near the diaper area for 8+ hrs.
Co-Sleep Diaper Tips
| Tip | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| Always size up at night | Extra absorbency capacity = fewer leaks |
| Use unscented diaper | Baby breathes near diaper for 8+ hrs |
| Change immediately on wake-cry | Prevents re-soiled bed |
| Layer waterproof mat under sheet | Backup for inevitable nights |
| Avoid plastic-back diapers in shared bed | Plastic crinkle wakes baby on movement |
