Nighttime disaster!

Jessca77

Hi ladies, I'm hoping someone can help me out.  My son is a SUPER heavy wetter at night.  We were using BG's with extra inserts and changing him once per night, but he started peeing out of them a few weeks ago so we switched to disposables at night.  He even leaks out of those!  We have to change his sheets almost every night now.  

I've heard that fitteds + wool covers are great for nighttime heavy wetters, but the wool covers are so expensive!  I would love to try them but can't justify spending $60-80 on two covers plus some extra fitteds if they might not work.  Can anybody tell me where to get cheap wool?  Or maybe another alternative?

Have you tried looking on Spots Corner? People destash wool all the time there.

Check out the Katrina pattern for soakers and I use the arms of sweaters for longies (I also use the diamond idea from Joy's longies in between the arms/legs). Fitteds with wool is the only thing that keeps my super soaker's bed dry at night. We like Bububebe with a hemp insert and also Old School Cool fitteds.

In case you can't find any real wool at your thrift shops (like I couldn't), you can also try Ocean Babies on Etsy for inexpensive upcycled wool. She does a great job.
