CD at night

MermaidNM

So we now have enough diapers to CD full time, and I am nervous about CDing at night.  We have always used sposies and she STTN most nights and even when she wakes, I don't change her.  Any tips?  We use BGs almost exclusively.

At 4 months I was still just using the long insert, snapped down at night. Then we went to one long insert, snapped down and one short (newborn insert). Now we just switched to one long, unsnapped, 2 newborn inserts. I am looking into getting hemp liners since she is such a heavy soaker now.

I think you will be pleasantly surprised using the CDs at night. Plus you LO isn't sitting in all of those chemicals for 10+ hrs. 

ETA: We use BGs too.

At 4 months I think we were using fitteds (either Sbish sized bamboo or GMs) and wool.  BGs would have worked - I think I probably would have had to use both inserts.  You could also buy a few hemp inserts to add in if you're worried the two mf ones won't hold up overnight.

As my son got older, we found that fitted diapers paired with wool have always been our bulletproof nighttime solution.  Goodmamas with an extra soaker have always worked really well for us.

I use a FB OS with two MF inserts and one hemp.  At your son's age I think I was just using two MF inserts, and that would work most of the time but, but I don't want to risk it.

I use BG with the microfiber insert plus one hemp insert.

At 3 months old, my LO can get away with a BG and the regular sized insert. No fancy stuff needed, yet.

I also occasionally use an Artsy Fartsy Foo Foo hemp with the nb insert on top. Just depends what's clean. 

I haven't had any problems overnight CDing- maybe I'm lucky?

My son just recently started wearing one diaper all night. He wears a FB One Size with two inserts.
