Cloth Diapering

on experiment...

We are on the hunt for a on routine. The flip daytime organic insert held everything after a 2 hour period, but was soaked. Now we are trying a flip insert and a microfiber insert shoved in a pocket. next will be 2 flip inserts to see if that helps. Then I will need to order more stuff...

Seriously how can she pee so much???

  • Pretty normal. Once they hit 10+ hours a night you pretty much need fitteds.

    I agree, it may be time for a fitted. Especially, if LO sleeps on their side or stomach. I love my fitted/wool combo for ON with both boys.

    I would think the MF may not help, because of, compression leaks. You may have luck with the 2 flip inserts in a pocket though.

    Eta: make sure you check for gaps that may come from over stuffing.

  • If you like the flips we use an overnight organic flip and a newborn insert on top in a cover. Make change to change the rise up one more for nighttime too. You could also use the nightime organic with a normal flip on top. I've also used a hemp insert wrapped in a prefold and that worked well. Prefolds hold a lot too.

  • Experiment fail. It's getting closer to working though...

  • Fitteds are pretty awesome. But actually if you don't want to spend that much we've had luck with using the next size up prefold and a hemp doubler.  I put mine under a Blueberry Coverall, but you could do that under wool too.

  • We do a BG 4.0 stuffed with a MF insert and hemp doubler.  I wish I could remember how old she was when we switched to that, but it's still what we do now.  She's primarily a stomach sleeper and we haven't had any leaking issues.  Sometimes the inserts are totally soaked, sometimes not.

  • I'm debating between kissaluvs hemp fitteds, or do I go with organic gmd fitteds.. there is a big price difference. I have a few covers so getting 3 fitteds wouldn't be the end of the world for night time use.

  • While I LOVE the GMD organic fitteds, if you have a heavy wetter I don't think they are a good ON solution alone.  You'd probably need a hemp doubler or two with it.

    I'm not familiar with the kissaluvs hemp fitteds.

    Keep in mind that you can overstuff to the point of causing gaps which allow leaks. We went to workhorse diapers with Disana wool cover at night once DS2 was around 7 months. It worked great for a very long time.

    This. I have a Kissaluvs " hybrid contour", pretty much a closure less fitted. It's not the hemp one, but I'm not a fan. What about hemp or bamboo prefolds instead of fitteds if price is an issue.
  • That sounds like pretty normal wetting to me. I'm not surprised that a Flip organic day plus a MF did not work. MF is just not that absorbent.

    For awhile I liked the Flip organic nighttime insert plus a JoeyBunz hemp insert in a cover. Then we had to switch to Twinkie Tush Night Night fitteds (with an extra hemp insert). Thankfully now the crazy ON wetting has ended and we are using a toddler PF with a JoeyBunz hemp under a Thirsties cover.

    Agree with PPs - GMD fitteds aren't going to be a great ON solution. I don't know about the Kissas hemp, but definitely don't get the regular Kissas cotton - those hold like a tablespoon of pee.

  • Grr Kelly's Closet is out of hemp prefolds, but they do have hemp doublers in stock...
