CD moms of toddlers ?

Hey guys, I've made it 16 months using cloth only.  It seems that DDs bladder has just gotten too big for daytime use.  We had a diaper rash incident (only the 2nd one ever) so I bought some disposables and was just amazed at how I never had a wet outfit and we could go to the playground AND the store AND back home before needing to be changed without having wet her outfit. 

I always double lined her diapers at night but I can't do that during the day, it's just too bulky.  Any of you guys with heavy daytime wetters find a solution?  

I already have LOTs of different types of liners: hemp, banboo, terry, really big terry

Matthew is 15 months.  I change him every two hours whether he wets his outfit or not just because I'm scared of diaper rash.  How often do you change her?

Oh and at home during the day I use A12s with a fleece liner and at night I use a MSO with a wool cover.

DD is 14 months. I change her every 2-3 hours. I use pocket diapers with one layer of hemp and one layer of MF.

DD1 is 20 months old and has been in cloth since day 3 of her life.  We use pockets exclusively now.  During the day, I use a Blueberry combo insert (hemp/mf).  They last us the two hours we usually go between changes (barring a poop) but have been known to stretch to 2.5 hours.  My younger DD (7.5 months) is actually a heavier wetter, but the Blueberry combos last her two hours as well.

DD was a really heavy wetter. When I used pockets, I always double stuffed. What are you double stuffing with? I always used one microfiber or bamboo with one hemp -- hemp is very trim and works well as a second insert.

But I only used pockets when I had to. I mostly used fitteds and wool outside the house, and that was bulletproof for up to 3 hours, which is as long as I'd want to leave her in a wet diaper anyway, cloth OR disposable. (She usually leaked out of double stuffed pockets within two hours.)

It's to the point she can't even go an hour without a change AND wet clothes sometimes.  I have used CDs since she was born so I have always changed frequently but it's getting kinda ridiculous! For instance, I changed her before leaving a friends this morning, stopped at Kmart for about 25 min then went in to the pediatricians.  By the time I put her up on the exam table (about 40 min from time of change) her dress was wet and the exam table paper was soaked.

How much are you giving her to drink? This may sound silly but we were having crazy leaks and when we talked to our pedi she told us we might be giving her to much to drink.

DD is 2.5 and still in diapers. We usually do an MF and hemp or bamboo in a pocket and a fitted + hemp for bed.

Hmmm, I don't know how much is appropriate.  She has been drinking a TON.  She doesn't take bottles anymore but she drinks a sippy full of OJ in the morning then somewhere between 3-6 sippies a day of water.  She won't drink milk without it being in a bottle so now she just gets the calcium fortified OJ and tons of water.  She eats heartily. 

Does that sound like too much to drink?   I just keep her sippy full and she will bring it to me if it needs filling.
