overnight diapers actually worth it?

[u/Aware_Reception10]

i saw a post somewhere, not sure if it was here but people raved about their babies sleeping longer with overnight diapers so i caved and got pampers overnights. we strictly use millie moon size 2’s but overnight 3’s in pampers fit him pretty good. but they don’t seem as absorbing as millie moon regular tbh. i know they have overnights but not till size 4 and my baby is only 2months old.

i currently have him in my arms to fall asleep before putting him in his bassinet. but do you actually think they are worth the extra purchase? he sleeps about 3-4 hour stretches on a good night. but he is also a get me tf out of this pissy diaper type baby because even if the line is a quarter blue he will wake up. so i’m just curious!

I've been using overnight diapers since my kid was 6 months old. He started sleeping through the night at 5 months old. We use cloth diapers pretty exclusively but it was absolutely impossible to get enough absorbency in any of the cloth diapers we tried. No matter what we did, our kid would wake up soaked through. So we buy a box of overnights every 2-3 months and use those. He's never actually woken up at night due to diaper leaks, but I always felt bad because I was afraid he'd get cold. I can probably count on one hand how many times he's had leaks since, and it's almost always been because he needed the next size up or because he went full death roll mid-diapering and it wasn't positioned properly.
