Super soaker DS - Need help please!

Gilene2011

I'll start off by saying that we use BG 3.0, 4.0 and elementals and in the past 2 weeks we have had horrible leaking because DS just pees so much.  The diaper weighs a ton after I take it off him.  I have to change his diaper every 1.5 hrs.  I thought maybe it was happening mainly because he was going to sleep on his tummy, but last night he slept on his back. 

 I have been stuffing the diapers with the regular  insert + newborn insert.  Should I try 2 microfiber regular inserts? 1 microfiber + 1 hemp...

 I don't want to resort to wool covers unless I absoluetly have to (don't have extra $$ to spend).  Could I just put the wool cover over the BG during naps?

Definitely try some hemp, I think it's a wonder-fiber. Also, try stripping your microfiber, they can sometimes hold on to "extras" like detergent and such.

If you are capable of using a sewing machine (or know someone who is) on www.wazoodle.com they sell a die cut insert made out of zorb that is supposed to be extremely absorbent.  By making them yourself, you can determine how many layers you will need.  The thing about zorb is that it is much thinner than hemp, bamboo or cotton inserts.

We use a BG insert and a hemp/bamboo insert wrapped with a Hemp Babies Little Weeds and this combo has worked really well for us overnight. I have a fairly heavy wetter, too.   I have also used my wool cover for overnight over the pocket diaper.

We use exclusively hemp in DS's bumGenius pockets and it works wonders for holding a ton of pee for longer stretches of time...no wool covers needed. I find microfiber to be useless with a heavy wetter!

Right now we use a one-size hemp insert from Blueberry diapers (they've been discontinued but JamTots makes something similar...it snaps to different size settings) along with a BabyKicks JoeyBunz insert (not the premium). It's been a great solution for us!

Ditto hemp.  I put DD in a BG 4.0 stuffed with 2 AFFF hemp inserts for night and never have any leaks.

Thanks everyone for the responses!!   

I am going to stuff his daycare diapers all sorts of ways tomorrow :-)  I have a couple babykicks hemp inserts so I will stuff the diapers with those instead of the microfiber. 

I also had looked into getting some of the zorb, but I have read that it can leak.  And since I am already having leak issues I didn't know if I wanted to risk it.
