When shes in a prefold. The second she goes she starts whaling her lungs out. Is this common?? I guess because she doesnt feel it in a disposable diaper?? I am still waiting to use my AIos that Ive bought because she is still tiny and pooping every time she eats(10 times a day at least) and I cant keep up with BF poop!

yes this is normal, most babies do not like the feeling of being wet like that. My DS still fusses at 11months old when he pees if there isnt a barrier. Just look at it as her letting you know it is time for a change so she wont "sit and rot")as the expression goes) in her pee, LOL

I think to, that disposables hold in the heat more. So they are much more aware of the wetness. I like it because I know when to change ds. He is a frequent peer, at least about every hour, and he lets me know most of the time.

I really wanted to do fitteds and wool for nights, but ds is so "wet" conscious. I finally went to Fuzzi Bunz and his skin feels dry in the morning even though he has soaked through 3 hemp joey bunz! Fleece is great for that dry feeling.

i thought the wet feeling was good for potty learnig??
i even saw a pull-up that has a "wet zone" now. to help them know when they went...

Dd is 7 months and she still fusses when she's wet. Maybe you could try using a fleece liner, that will help pull the moisture away from her so she has that dry feeling. It may help keep her from getting so upset.

Definitely try the fleecee liner. Just cut up some microfleece or something and lay it on the diaper.

and a little encouragement - my ds isn't bothered by the wet at all and doesn't cry right away. He's been in cloth for 4 1/2 months now. He notices poops though! So I have to check him all the time to see if he peed.

If you haven't considered EC before you might want to take a look at the EC board now that you have a baby who really, really hates being wet.

My dd was just like that-- she cried if her diaper was even a little wet-- and EC worked great for us.

I was going to suggest EC also. When I was reading about it said something about babies crying when they have to go tinkle because when they are born they naturally don't want to wet on themselves. Eventually though we retrain them to potty in a diaper and they are used to that.

I know this is situation specific - only in the prefold, but I just wanted to add that girls are more prone to urinary tract infections, and you have to wipe front to back.
