I'm having nighttime issues! For a week or so I was using sposies at night, and I have to admit taht was pretty nice but I do want to get back into cloth. I'm using wool covers and those work great, the problem is the diaper. RIght now I'm using a flat with a microfiber towel folded in and a ipf on top. It doesn't leak through the wool, but by morning it is soaked through and through (like there are drops of pee on ds's skin). So what's your favorite night diaper and where can I buy it? Thanks!

For nights a lot of the moms here use wool. But for some reasons it scares me!
I use only Fuzzi bunz at night, I stuff them with either a Pushies terrycloth and flannel shaped diaper with a hemp doubler. Or Two microfiber inserts with a hemp doubler, she is a major night wetter and her skin is dry in the morning, the inserts weight as much as she does.
I got the fuzzi bunz from www.babydrawers.com But they sell them all over, I got free inserts and free shipping.

Ok don't mean to high jack a thread but MCR would a hemp prefold or joeybunz or heiny stuffin work with a microfiber insert?? What do think??

We used to use Firefly Sleep Tight diapers (http://www.fireflydiapers.com/organi..._nighttime.htm ) under aristrocrats and they worked great. Our boys often went 12 hours without leaks and without fully saturating the diapers (even with night nursing).

HTH!

A "affordable" diaper thats easy to get for nights under wool is a Happy Hempy and stuff with 2 JBs or an infant pf and a micro towel. ITs jsut as absorbant as a FCB nightlight IMO and those are very tough to buy new

I've recently gotten a couple of Very Baby Simply Nights - a hemp one and a sherpa one. The sherpa one is a little bulky but both absorb very well. My dd is a HEAVY wetter and, while they are very wet in the morning, they hold up under a wool cover (loveybums or a stacinator day/night - both available and affordable.) Both of them are fleece lined so she stays dry, even when the dipe is full. She is usually in her night diaper for 12 hours with nursing during the night. HTH.

I use a fleece stacinator deluxe with an IPF and a heavy duty doubler. He went 10 hr in it last night. He could've gone longer but it had poo in it.

I use a fuzzi bunz with 1 3-layer micro insert and 2 6-layer hemp jersey inserts.

 

[sraplayas]

I use Mother-Ease with 2 ME cloth liners inside and a ME airflow cover. It works great on my 16m dd and she even still nurses at night. No leaks, no rash. A little bulky, but a soft bum is oh so cute!

DD is 10mos and we put her in a FuzziBunz with 2 microfiber towels folded in thirds and stuffed in. That gets us a good 12hrs more or less.

Try a Little Beetle! The hemp ones hold my heavy wetter overnight with 2 doublers. There are some nice, new organic velour ones, too. I think they're even better than the hemp original. Nice prices, as well. I use an Aristocrat over top of it and the combo hardly ever wicks or leaks.

The only diaper I have found to work for 12+ hours at night is FCB nightlights.

I'd try it and see. I like to mix the fabric, for some reason, (maybe my imagination) I get less leaks that way. I think hemp and microfiber do well together, they absorb at different rates. I always put the hemp as the top insert, not sure why it just works for us.

I think it doesn't so much matter which night time diaper we use, I just add doublers as necessary to get the absorbency I need. I have a couple of VB night time dipes that are my personal favorite because they are the only ones I have that don't require extra stuffing. I also use a couple of wool doublers between the diaper and the wool cover (a cashmere KP and a Crystal's Cloth cashmere wool cover are my work horse night covers. Bulky, but never a leak or damp jammies.

We use a fuzzi bunz with a micro on top and a hemp on bottom and it goes 12 hours and she nurses during the night.

I use this combo with a Happy Heiney for running errands during the day. At the most it would last us 6 hours, I guess, but I change before then. It's usually pretty well soaked for us when I do change after about 3 hours.

Different kids, different wetting patterns.

Hollin, it sounds like you might have a heavy wetter if ds is going through an ipf, a flat and a microfiber towel.

That's a lot of pee! I know there are some old threads about this, because I started one! You've probably done a search already, but if you haven't, you could search for heavy wetter and overnight. Maybe you'll find some more suggestions.

 

[nichole]

like so many others, one microterry insert on top of 2 hemp inserts. ds *usually* sleeps from 7pm until 7am cuz he won't nap. he likes to hold it all night, then pee, and then ask to use the potty.

oops forgot to say this is in a fuzzibun. did have some leaking issue when i had buildup and if i used the wrong size. i don't think he will ever fit into a large! oh well.

My ds went through a one year period of being a VERY heavy wetter at night. A fully stuffed FB could not handle the flood. What I found to work best and be completely bullet proof was this: A FCB Nightlight stuffed with a hemp prefold and a joey bunz. Worn underneath a nice thick wools soaker or wool cover, like Kiwi Pie's cashmere wool covers.

Dream-ez organic velour fitted with hemp prefold snappied over it, all under wool

Two options work great for us: Wool covers/longies over just about any of our diapers, with a doubler of some sort tucked inside. Or pocket diapers with microfiber and hemp inside.

Lately I've been sewing my own pocket diapers and I love them. You can make an awesome nighttime insert for them by sewing a layer of hemp fleece to a microfiber towel and trifolding it for inside. The micro is super soft and absorbs very fast and distributes the wetness all around. The hemp doesn't absorb as fast or distribute wetness as readily, but it holds a lot and hangs onto the wetness instead of letting it compress out. A perfect combo. I've been using the Chloe Toes pattern with foldover elastic binding and 2 mil PUL (I have no idea if 2 mil really works better than 1 mil but I'm using it) and these are working well.
