Help Quick! Sposies on a Trip, Leaving Wednesday

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I've always used cloth diapers for my kids, but I'm going on a trip and will use disposables for a week.

 

Ds is 17 months.  I got some Seventh Generation size 4 disposables and tried a couple out on him, he seems to tolerate them fine.  Now, will they last overnight, or do I need to do something else for overnight (like our regular overnight cloth diapers or hemp liners to put in the sposies)?

 

Dd just turned 4, still wears diapers at night, and some nights wets heavily.  I tried sposies a couple times when she was littler, and she got horrible rashes (her skin is very sensitive).  I'm debating whether to buy a pack (of 30) size 5 Seventh Gen diapers for her.  How likely is it that they will make it through the night?  Should I just bring cloth for her? -- since it's only pee washing isn't as big a deal.  Should I get sposies and bring hemp liners in case they leak overnight?

 

Please share your experiences.  I don't want to get regular bleached diapers because of sensitive-skinned babes.

 

TIA

If I remember right from when my older two were little, the seventh gen diapers aren't as absorbant as a regular chemical-laden sposie.  I would definitely bring some doublers...and put a cover over, just in case? :)

And maybe for your dd you could line the sposie with a cloth liner...less laundry...kind of a "hybrid" system for the road.

Thanks for your thoughts, experiences, and ideas.  We went on the trip with only Seventh Generation disposable diapers.  No rashes!  No leaks!  Ds' first poop was a total blowout, though -- on the way to the airport!
