Night time help!

Alright... pockets do not seem to be working for over night anymore. Even when they are stuffed so much she can barely close her legs. What fitters/covers would you suggest? I tried fitteds maybe twice a while ago during the day but I wasn't crazy about them. Round 2 here we go! Also... We live in FL, our house isn't hot but I feel like wool or fleece covers would be super hot and the wool would be itchy. Thoughts? Suggestions? She has turned into a heavy wetter at night recently!

Are the pockets over saturated in the morning, or is the overstuffing causing gaps? We've had great luck with 1 MF+ 1 hemp. I'd try something like 1 bamboo + 2 hemp before I gave up on my pockets.

I love Old School Cool fitteds. Wool covers are breathable and soft. You can find inexpensive upcycled ones on etsy, if you don't want to make a huge investment. You can also make your own with the free Katrina pattern online. Bububebe fitteds are great with a hemp insert.

 They are just over saturated. They weigh so much and leak! I will probably try some different inserts before switching but will probably order some fitteds to try as well

Some absorbant fitteds: BubuBebe, Twinkie Tush (hard to get, though), Monkey Snuggles overnight, Sustainablebabyish (Sbish)

For Covers, like a PP mentioned, you can get upcycled wool on etsy for a reasonable price, I have a soaker from myecobaby on etsy and it's really cute. It is a cashmere one, so we dont use it overnight, but it works for daytime.

I second the upcycled wool. If you or anyone you know has a sewing machine the katrina's longies or soaker patterns are super easy. Literally 2 seams if you use the arms of a sweater for the legs. Also if you make your own you can feel out the sweaters at the thrift store for something thick and soft. There is a lot of itchy wool out there, but also some fantastically soft stuff too. Once we started fitteds and wool overnight we never looked back.
