I'm looking for something to go over my newborn's mattress. Would this product work? Could I just wash it when she leaks through her clothes?

Yes, but it isn't waterproof. If your newborn leaks it might still get on the actual matress therefore defeating the purpose of a matress cover.

Good questions Joan. No I don't have that problem. I've been happy with it. It fits over my deep sized mattress and has stood up with multiple washings. I think you'd be happy with it.

I recommended this for my daughter who is also potty training her little girl. They have deep pockets so it should fit over any mattress. I do not dry it in a hot dryer but on a lower setting.it does not make you hot at night. I highly recommend it.

You put them over the prefold cotton cloth diaper to keep the moisture from leeching onto your baby's clothing. If you don't have some sort of barrier, you will just have a wet baby! These are great because they are reusable and easy to wash. They don't last forever though, so don't be suprised if you end up needing to buy more after a few months. This brand is a little more durable so far than the store brand at Babies R Us though so we'll see!

I used these in the newborn napper part of my pack and play when my son was first born. I had to fold a section but it worked well. I definitely agree with the others, these do tend to shrink. I currently use these on my changing table. If you are looking for a perfect fit, you may want to check out what products are made to fit your bassinet.

They're very thick but still move loosely like cloth. The friction of another fabric underneath it will probably be ok if the baby isn't that active yet. I have put them under sheets as well as tucked into the sides of the mattress on top of sheets.

Yes. It's a mattress cover. It was a gift for my niece. Even the best diapers can leak. I got her two so that she was covered for leaks at 2 AM. It's quite a nice one. Waterproof. Quilted.

It was a gift so I can't answer those questions. However, if you call the manufacturer they can nest answer that. I did see it I the store before purchasing it here. I would assume you would out a towel or some sort of covering under the baby to see things clean. Sorry I was unable to answer your questions.

Sure, should work just fine. I put my 5 year old's on top of her fitted sheet so I don't have to wash sheet if she has an accident, but for your mother under the sheet is a good idea so she doesn't see it as bothersome and take it off the bed. You might also consider getting a waterproof mattress pad to completely cover the mattress to further protect it and use the bed pad as the layer in between mattress pad and fitted sheet. Hope this helps. I wish you all the best as you care for your mother.

For me, yes. I used it on my mattress when my son soaked through his diaper while sleeping in our bed. I sprayed it on according to directions and used a white cloth to scrub the mattress. Got the stain and the smell out.

My 3 year old had 2 accidents and nothing has leaked thru. I have washed and dried it 2 or 3 times and still no problems. Yes I would return it

I used it for my newborn grandson - just place a hand towel over the edge and along a portion of the bottom to minimize slipping. It worked fine.

From what I've read and heard these are excellent for cloth diapers. I only have 1 friend who has used them for this purpose. She loves it. Hope this helps

What do you mean help with bed wetting? I wouldn't use it as a potty training or preventing bed wetting tecnique. But to put on your mattress in case there is an accident, it works just fine. My three year old has at least one accident a month, all we do it strip the sheets, wipe the plastic cover down with a washcloth and good to go.

It is a diaper. However, with my little skinny minnie I add a feminine hygiene pad to it. She sleeps with me and occasionally leaks at night. Because of the positions she puts herself in while she is sleeping, I need something on her that is closer to the 'leak'. Plus, with the pad inside it, if she does pee in it I don't have to wash the diaper, just pull out the pad and add a new one. Easy peasy.

Hi Megan- I also bought these to use over my child's underwear at bedtime, as he is fully potty trained in his conscious hours. Unfortunately, they did NOT keep the wetness in. They leaked pretty much every night. If the elastic around the thighs and stomach are tight enough to hold back wetness, then they hurt him. If they were remotely comfortable, they leaked. These are basically useful for those kids who are almost making it to the potty, but needs those few extra seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Ummmm....kinda. You will need to wait until the meconium is done (you'll never get those stains out) and there is the umbilical cord to be careful of too. They aren't snug enough at that early stage to stop blow outs. But they will hold the tiny amounts of urine from your newborn. Until the thighs fatten up a bit (about a month old or so) they don't work that great. Besides you might not be ready for that amount of laundry until then too. Hope that helps God bless you and your little one!
