Cloth Diapering

What's so great about these Monkey Snuggles?

I keep seeing them referenced on here, so I just impulsively bought two of the overnights.  Will they fit a newborn?  What do you pair them with - cover, wool?  They're kind of pricey, so I hope they work well!

  • They may fit a NB.  Basically they just have a multi-layer of inserts that hold the pee overnight.  I pair mine with a wool cover.

    Really, it's a just a board fad.  Another diaper will take it's place soon.  I'm advocating for BSRB.  :oD

  • That's how I ended up with 2 of them! Of course most of what I have I found referenced on here:) Yes, the fitteds need a cover of some sort. I like the wool, but honestly have yet to try anything else. The wool happened to work well and it breathes great. They are quite pricey for the overnights, but I have found that price generally goes with quality in the world of CDs. Unfortunately they did not work for us because LO is a big guy and I didn't see them fitting him until he toilet trained. I have no idea on how they fit a newborn as I have only tried them in the past 6 weeks or so and DS was already 27 in and 20 lbs. I imagine they would work great though.

  • I love mine.  They may fit a newborn because you can just use one soaker and fold down the rise.  I use either wool or a plain old Thirsties cover.  They do have a short rise, so i am not sure they will fit all through potty training, but they work now and DD can go 14 hours without a leak so its worth it to me. 

    I also LOVE my BSRB! I wish they stocked more at a time though.

    I have to agree.  I bought one hoping it would be our night-time magic bullet, but I had to stuff it with an AFFF hemp insert and a hemp doubler and cover it with wool so that DD1 wouldn't leak through overnight.  For a light-to-moderate wetter I guess it would be ok ...

    Traveling the world with my girls - born 12 months and 18 days apart.

  • They're bulletproof for my heavy wetter.

    I only started using them when DD was about 6 months, so I have no nb experience.

  • I also find the rise to be short.  I also have a heavy wetter and although they do fit and work, I can't see them lasting that much longer due to rise (DS is 18 lbs).  I also bought a B4 for night time use and that is also bullet proof and fits much better.

  • They do work for our heavy wetter. We also love Goodmamas. BSRBs don't at all. It really just depends on the baby, fad or not. Try a few things and see what works best for you!

    Change B4 to GM but otherwise ditto all of this.  I'm going to try a B4 next.  I'll probably sell the MSO soon because the fit isn't great on DS.

  • Very soft and squishy. Work well for my 11 week 11 pounder.
