My children usually are at least 5 before they are out of nappies at night, at the moment I have two night time nappiers, seven and a half and three.  they are both very heavy wetters, esp the older one, and any attempts to lift her several times in the night to go to the toilet have failed and left her very upset.  I’m looking for’recommendations for something suitable that won’t leak, and also something big enough (she is a very tall 7) and I am on a budget so don’t want to spend too much either!

Thanks in advance.

They are hideously expensive, but I know Minki do nappies for older children. Just wondering if there might be any Second-hand ones on Cloth nappy tree or usednappies.com….

If you go for a minki, the standard minki is best for night time use.  I’ve heard great things about bambooty nights & they are reasonably priced & the extra large is for older children.
