Is Nappy Free Time Important?

Nappy off time assists with gross motor development by making it easier and more comfortable to practice skills such as rolling, crawling, stretching, and putting those little tootsies in their mouth.

Is diaper free time necessary?

Absolutely not. Regardless of weather, you will need to give diaper free time for babies. Too much moisture and too much dryness is also a cause for rashes. Rashes occur at all seasons and hence making it regular will help you keep the rashes at check.

How long should you leave a nappy on?

As soon as possible after they've done a poop

You'll know your baby best but as a guide, changing them after every feed, and as soon as possible after they've done a poo is best. Once your little one can sleep through the night, well-padded nappies should last 12 hours.
