My DD is almost 6 months and I am still trying to find a good nighttime diaper solution. I have been doing a Tots Bots AIO with an extra insert from 8-4ish and then Smartipants pocket with an extra insert from 4-8. I think the extra insert is hemp but I am not sure (my sister gave it to me). Currently she leaks from one or the other diaper about every other day...lots of laundry.
I am trying a Babykicks fitted with a Kissaluvs wool soaker tonight that my sister lent me to try and hopefully that works better. I want a solution that works the entire 12 hours...nighttime changes stink!
What do you use? Do you have suggestions? Thanks!
Re: What is your nighttime solution?
I asked this and there are a lot on here that do fitteds with wool over top.
I personally do Twinkie Tush fitted with an upcycled wool soaker.
I might try a BuBuBeBe fitted if I make a bunch of tips over the weekend since they have free shipping.
What do you triple stuff with? I used to do 2 of the MF inserts and it was too bulky, are you able to get 3 MF inserts in there or do you use something trimmer?

Triple hemp. Or double hemp and one layer of MF
We use one of a few different options; it varies nightly based on what's clean and what mood we're in.
- double stuffed BG with a wool cover
- B4 or GM fitted with a wool cover
- B4 fitted with a newborn microfiber insert, fleece liners on top (we do this because some of our fitteds get more ammonia smell and the MF helps add some absorbency and change up the fibers)
We had been using our RaR pockets stuffed with a pad folded flat and the BK hemp, but we leaked and are having stink problems (after a 12 hour wear... Not sure of that's normal or if I should be switching the wash routine).
I'm wondering if my "holy grail" solution doesn't truly exist.

I use two babykicks hemp inserts (so 4 layers of hemp) and a microfiber insert inside an RnR or BG (VERY bulky)
Or I use a TT under a PUL cover. I don't own any wool yet, but I'm hoping to get some.
Blueberry bamboo fitted (along with the snap-in insert) w/ PUL cover or FB stuffed w/ microfiber insert and a 6 layer bamboo insert.
I probably don't need all of the layers but don't want to take the chance!
Snappi'd prefold, hemp doubler, wool wrap.
I'd had luck using a prefold, 2 hemp doublers, and a PUL cover prior to going to wool, but we were having rash issues and that caused us to go to wool at night.
Fitted with wool soaker.
I rotate TT, B4, GM good.night, and Sbish. I use an extra hemp doubler. A WB soaker over top. No leaks.
Sbish obf fitted with wool soaker on top. Never a leak.
Fitteds are just better for night because the WHOLE diaper is absorbent not just the insert in between the legs. I do put a stay dry liner in for night.
With DS, I used Sbish obf fitteds but added a hemp insert for night and topped with wool.
