I have no idea what I am doing other than my pockets though... do I put a pre-fold under this??

THANKS!!

I only have 1 and if it is just damp, I just hang it up to dry, or you can throw it in with ANY laundry - it is not persnickety about how you wash it.

You can use any fitted or a Snappied prefold or two underneath - the most absorbent options I have used are TWO premium prefolds, jellyroll the legs and Snappi on; or the Green Acre Designs semi-fitted stuffed with 3 inserts. (This is a one-size Snappiable, stay-dry fitted that comes empty and you can stuff it with a bunch of whatever inserts you already have. Since the cover is going over it, you can stuff it much thicker than you could a pocket diaper.)

My DS is in the middle for the small and the medium at around 15 Ibs.... ??? I think I should order the Med?

Small (10-18 lb)

Medium (15-28 lb)

No, definitely small. He is not even 3 months, right? My dd is 20 months and wears 2t clothes and the medium is big on her!

He is 12 weeks as of yesterday He is a giant baby though, with very chunky thighs. He is about 15 1/2 pounds right now and wearing 6-9 mo clothes.

So a small is still ok? I am very excited about this! I think I may order the ones with the Kanji on them as my DS is part Japanese, my DH will love it.

I also ordered some little lions prefolds.... Now I gotta figure out how to fold them haha!

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. Its no fun waking up in pee!

So just to clarify too... I can keep using the soaker through more than one diaper change? Because if this is the case, I may order a day weight one too.

I really think a small would be okay.

You can use it on more than one diaper change, as long as it doesn't smell objectionable to you. I don't think it does.

I have this issue too! I use FB or BG 3.0 pockets with 3 inserts and still have leaks on the sides. I don't want to buy different diapers so maybe I'll try adding the fleece cover.

FWIW, I tried 2 disposables (at one time) one night and they did no better. Were practically disintegrating by morning. So that made me feel better about my cloth. Still, would be nice if he wasn't soaking every morning.

I have the same problem with our Wonderoo pocket nappies. The problem is it leaks through the material that's meant to be waterproof, always around the legs. It got to the point we had to buy Mother Ease which have never leaked for us.

I've always washed the Wonderoos as instructed and don't use softener or any harsh laundry liquids. It's disappointing because I really like them.
