cloth at night?

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
How do you do cloth at night? We use sposies at night (9-11 hours) and don't get up to change DD b/c she wakes all the way up if we try. I tried using cloth one night and she woke up soaking wet and with the nastiest rash ever. Do I just need a different kind of diaper or is cloth at night just not going to work?

We use BG AIOs or pockets with a hemp babies doubler. I prefer the new AIOs because they also have a pocket, so it doesn't get bunched up when you stuff extra. They're nice because the MF pulls wetness away from DS, so he doesn't get rashes as often.

We ended up doing sposies at night for similiar reasons.

we used sposies for DD at night until we finally found a night time diaper that worked for her.

she wears a Thirsties stuffable aio stuffed w/ a swaddlebees hemp insert. the lining of the diaper is fleece so she feels dry. there is a layer of microfiber for quick absorbing then the hemp insert which can hold a lot of pee.

We have always used prefolds, with a cheap basic cover. I'm totally spacing on the name but it's just polyurethane and very cheap. At night, we initially had some leaking problems, then ended up adding the pads from a more expensive diapering system that we had bought second-hand but didn't use because the covers leaked to the prefolds. They system might have been Fuzzi-Bunz, I'm not sure. It's the same as using a "doubler," but it's not something that was originally sold for that purpose, we just used what we had. We just lay the doubler in the cover first, then put the cloth diaper over top. The nighttime set up looks bulkier than the daytime, but it's worked fine. A couple times we've just stuffed two prefolds into the cover and that's worked too.

A prefold, doubler and cover works the best for us. At night, DD needs natural fibers against her skin or she'll get red. Even though she can feel the wetness, it never seems to bother her.

I hope my other post made sense despite my mangling it a bit. The covers I used are Prowraps, and we put both the prefold and the Fuzzi-Bunz insert thing (posing as a doubler) into the Prowrap cover. I also found that my daughter had terrible rashes if certain fabrics touched her when wet, including those "doublers," but keeping the cotton prefold in-between (and washing those in Charlie's Soap) has been our answer for that.

Bum Genius 3.0 works for us overnight, but I still mostly use disposable overnight because I only have a couple BG and I like the convenience of them when we are out and about during the day.

Motherease One-Size with 2 inserts and an Air Flow cover. We've never had a leak and no rashes.

We use Firefly nighttime diapers. They solved our leak problems.

I don't have a heavy wetter, and I use a pocket diaper with 2 full size inserts in it at night. Or, I have some PB&E grae prefitteds that I use, with those I use them under wool, but then, I also tend to put a pair of wool over the pockets too, added "insurance" against leaks.

we do double prefolds and wool, or i have a great polar babies cover i got at a garage sale and that NEVER leaks.
