Fitteds for Under Wool Soaker

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I'm interested in buying a fitted diaper to fit under a wool soaker (like Disana or Sustainablebabyish or Kissas, haven't decided yet) for DS to wear at night. I'm literally at my wits end with these leaky diapers! I bought two pocket diapers, and I just don't love them. I'm hoping I'll love these more. I'd really like to do a fitted underneath the wool. I own two Thirsties hemp doublers and the microfiber inserts that came with the Fuzzi Bunz (newborn and regular) as well as a Thirsties Duo Stay Dry soaker (with the hemp snapped to a microfiber).

 

To give you an idea of how much liquid we're talking about, DS drinks an 8oz bottle at 7:30pm. He usually wakes up between 11pm-12:30pm for another bottle (usually 6-8oz) and gets a diaper change. I'm not even sure he really wants the bottle or if he's just waking up because his pjs are wet by then since when we get to him, he's usually wet on his clothes.

 

What brand fitted with what permutation of doubler will result in leakproof nights?

I'm gonna point towards the only thing that works for us at night.  A Happy Hempy pocket fitted.  It's a stuffable fitted, and I get the ones with the fleece inner - we've tried both, and he doesn't sleep as well at night if he feels wet.  I put it under Babyology wool (a lot cheaper than the ones you mentioned, and nearly bulletproof).  He's slowly tapering off his night-time bottles, but for a while there he was eating over 20 oz of formula between bedtime and morning. 

 

Right now I'm stuffing with 2 infant pfs, a Babykicks Hemparoo folded in half and a Loopy-Do.  If I leave out the Loopy-Do, the wool is fairly wet in the morning (but the pjs and bed are still dry) - and it takes a full day for it to dry (I have 3 covers in rotation for night-time).  With the Loop-Do, the wool is pretty much dry.  But, to give you an idea, I put the 2 pfs and the Hemparoo into a Rumparooz last night because all my HH were dirty, and I didn't put wool over it.  By morning the bed was soaked.  That's the beauty of wool.  It is hugely bulky, so if he's near the top of the size range, I'd size up. 

 

If you want another option for the wool - Pipers Closet makes a lovely wool wrap cover.  2 layers of wool flannel.  I'd ask her to make it with a longer rise (mine is Med waist, Large rise) to cover the bulk, but it's under $20, and it's also bullet-proof.
