Can you leave it on the baby all day long? Or do you just sneak it onto their diaper after they fall asleep and before you lay them down?

the monitor is soft enough you can leave it on your baby all day long, i used it this way for several months, once my baby was a little bigger, for longer battery life, i used it only when she was about to sleep (no need to wait until fully asleep) she never minded,

You could leave it on all day, but I never did. When my baby had a good routine of waking up in the morning for only an hour or two and then napping again, I would just leave it on her until she woke up from that nap. For night time, I put it on right before her last feeding so I don't risk waking her putting it on after the fact. Just as info, the original battery lasted me about 2 months when I was leaving it on her more frequently. I bought cheaper replacements that were off-brand and that one has already lasted 2 months and still going, but I do use it a little less frequently.

I agree with other response. I didn't leave it on all day/all the time because to me I believe it would be a nusense. I stopped attaching it to the diaper early on and just cut elastic from one of her pants and hooked it on that way or put her in pjs with pants and attached it to the pants. You get really good at attaching it. Its almost second nature to me now.

If we are putting our little one down for the night we will clip it to his diaper before snapping up his onesie. Then he goes into his sleep sack. For naps he is normally wearing pants with a elastic waist. I'll just clip it on there once I've laid him down. Also once he started rolling over to his tummy the Snuza still works just fine.

We just used it for naps and nighttime and slipped it on when we checked or changed her diaper before laying her down.

You put it over the baby boy's penis when you change his diaper so that you don't get sprayed with pee. It happens more often than you would think. Although I did buy this product per recommendation, I found it more of a hassle to try to coordinate putting it on a wiggling baby that I'd rather just get peed on. I learned to have the next diaper ready as a guard, just in case.

I leave it on my toddler 24/7. The only time I take it off is during bath time :)

It does stay on all night. It was a great product and my daughter was trained within 2 months!!! Good luck!!

HiAll you do is stick it into the babies butt. Well first lubricate it with Vaseline and then just put it in just as far as you don't see the tip. It's super fast so it will give you the temperature right way. I don't think it hurts the babies.

U can leave it on all night. I have 2 teenagers who leave them on constantly. There is a timer for upto 8hrs if u want that option. So far these have held up well and I recommend them.

Yes, I think it works in the mid-night. I can change my kid's diaper in the mid-night. The nightlight will be auto-turned off after about half hour.

We use(d) it for our twins! We used the bassinet part for about 5 months when the twins slept in our room at night. After that, we moved them to the nursery to their cribs for night sleep. When they got too big for the bassinet part, we took that out and one twin still sleeps in it for naptime in a different room (if we put both in their cribs for nap they will play and keep each other awake!). It was a staple for us.

You can, but I didn't as well. I actually made a cover for mine. I like having the pad go all the way to the corner. It's not as horrible as some of the reviewers make it out to be. Babies usually aren't on there for more than 10 minutes, it's not like it has to be super comfy so they can nap up there...

If your baby pees on the plastic side you can simply wipe it off. On the fabric side you can place it in your wetbag if you cloth diaper.

You can put an insert directly on baby's skin and on the inside. We do that so we can have a chance that the diaper might stay dry. If the diaper stays dry but the insert is wet we just change out the insert....woot woot less wash still dry baby.

You can leave it open, just like a regular door. We leave ours open all day, then close it when we're home with the baby.

I never have left it on for days at a time, but I have left it on for a couple of days when my little dog is at the caregiver's when we've been gone for a weekend. I use mine in my chihuahua's crate for at night. I start warming it up early evening and usually turn it off mid morning the next day. I would think it would be fine to leave it on most of the time if you are using it for a pet who lays on it most of the time, day and night.

For night feedings it should be fine since the baby will still be breathing and moving during feedings. To do diaper changes you will need to turn the monitor off and remove it from the diaper before you change the diaper-- remember to turn it off, or the time it spends on the table (not moving) will make the alarm sound!

I put it on before I go to sleep, and wash it off in the morning. After I shower I put another application on and leave it there until about mid-day.

Hi, I do wash the diapers after each use, but if youre baby only pee and the cover isn´t wet you can use it again. I love Alva diapers!! and I use them with charcoal bamboo inserts and they are just perfect!!!

No diaper can be used that long. A diaper needs changed every few hours, no matter what kind of diaper it is ( aside from over night when child is sleeeping ).
