urgent cloth nappy users - is dd going to drown?

I have just realised that having been super-early and given them a bath at 5.00 cos they were so grubby, I have put dd2 to bed in a prefold

the prefold that I put on at 5pm

prefolds don't go through the night imo - but do I have to wake her? what's the worst that can happen?

you are up in the night with a wet baby and a wet bed.

She'll probably either wake up a bit wet, or wake up in the night for a change. Drowning is unlikely unless you've been forcefeeding her orange squash and put her to bed in a paddling pool instead of a bed!

I'd change her now and settle her down again.

Unless you were planning to strip her bed & wash all linens/blankets/PJs tomorrow, anyway.

not hopeful

she's 2

knowing my luck she'll be shrieking or singing 'happy birthday' for no good reason at the top of her voice an hour after doing it
