Heavy Nighttime Wetters, I have a ?

WhiteysWifey

What do you use? We do CD (Bum Genius3) and I'm doubling up liners for at night (2 thick ones) but by the morning the crotch of her PJs are wet. I have no problems with using a 'sposie at night, unless there is some great CD solution.

TIA.

I love the Huggies Overnites.  That thing is HEAVY in the morning, but no leaks.  I'd say she wears it for 12+ hrs.

We had the same problem with Cal & CDs...tried a wool cover (I'd heard that's the way to go for heavy wetters), but it seemed uncomfortable to me, so we ended up using disposables.  Tried Huggies Overnites first, but they were a failure.  Pampers Extra Protection worked for us.  I really think it depends on the baby, not the diaper.  Trial & error...

For us it is doubling up the liners in the BG's. We were unable to find a disposable that didn't leak. I have to agree that it is different for each child. I've heard people say to use the hemp inserts for overnights. 

Good luck!

We use a Blueberry Minky or Happy Hempy diaper.  They're awesome.  The inserts that come with the Blueberry dipes work great for my heavy overnight wetter.  For the especially heavy wetter, I suggest getting Artsy Fartsy Foo Foo hemp inserts.  She's a nestie who sells them on hyenacart on the 5th and 20th of every month at noon EST.  Her stuff sells out in seconds, but I've been able to get some so it's possible!

We went through a phase of nothing working overnight with CD. I found a bamboo one, like the bamboozles, with hemp inserts (which you could also try with your BGs-- the happy heiny stuffins are perfect for overnight, but bulky) was the only thing that worked for us, with a minkee liner to keep her skin dry. It was bulky, though. Mine came from a WAHM here weenotions-- she is really helpful and would probably arrange shipping if asked. The basic ones (which we had) were about ?12 each (maybe $16), but they do need covers. I used wool.

Holdens Landing also do a bedbug which is meant for overnights, although I didn't love the fit of those. 

We recently went back to being able to use pockets overnight as the heaviest wetting phase passed, but I definitely relate to the struggling!

We use a BG one size with one of the microfiber inserts and one hemp insert from artsy fartsy foo foo on etsy.

At one point we were doing two hemps and one of the newborn inserts but now that she's not nursing all night she's not peeing as much.

The suggestion to use a wool cover over the BG could work too, but then you wouldn't need any PJ bottoms.

We just switched to disaposables at night because DD was getting wet at night with BG cd (doubled up too).  We are also trying to limit liquids at night as well.  I give her milk in the late afternoon instead of at dinner now.  Not sure how much it's helping, but not as many leaks recently.

Mine can go 13 hours in Huggies Overnites.  They're in size 3 Swaddlers and we use size 4 Overnites and they do great!
