Best night time solution for a tummy sleeper?

I just started to CD again and have been using up my sposies during the night time because I know they worked. Well they are no longer working. I had to change her twice before 1 am tonight because the last two nights her outfit was soaked when she woke up to nurse. I guess this is a good time for sposies to stop working since we have more CDs in the house now but still frustrating because I am nervous, for some reason, to CD her at night since we are starting back into them slowly.
I know this has been posted probably a thousand times but I didn't see any posted recently about tummy sleepers, and if there was and I missed it I am sorry.

She is a tummy sleeper and she does wake up to nurse but gets super upset if we try and change her so I try not to. 

TIA

Re: Best night time solution for a tummy sleeper?

  • My LO is a tummy sleeper and we use FB and BG at night with one microfiber insert and two hemp or bamboo inserts. She isn't a heavy wetter. But she has been sleeping on her tummy since she could roll over, and we've had no leaks. I also have one Swaddlebee's Eco Nappi that works great but they are expensive, I got mine because Ebay priced them wrong.

  • My daughter is a tummy sleeper too. We have fitteds with multiple soakers inside. I like to fold the soakers in the front of her diaper to give her more absorbency where she's laying. When she wakes up usually the whole front of her diaper is soaked and the rest is dry. So that setup helps catch all the wetness in the front. She's such a super soaker the pockets just stopped working for us a few months ago. So the fitteds with wool or PUL covers work best now, especially since it's easy to add absorbency to certain areas of the diaper.

  • Fitteds with wool.  DD wore pockets with hemp inserts overnight up until she became a tummy sleeper, then there was no combination of inserts and fit I could get that didn't result in leaks with pockets.  Fitteds hold everything and the wool is there as a backup protection.  Haven't had any leaks since.
  • Overnight fitteds with a hemp insert and a wool soaker are what work for us. Try bububebe, monkey snuggles ON, or Old School Cool. You can get an upcycled wool soaker on etsy for very little money. I paid $12 for my first one and made the rest of mine with the free online Katrina pattern.

  • My LO is also a tummy sleeper and I love BG 4.0 for night time.  Everyother brand leaked but BG was the only one that wouldn't.  My LO goes to sleep at 7:30pm and I wake him at 6am (no night time waking) so that's a nice long time for the diaper to hold up especially since he's a heavy wetter.
  • My little girl is a tummy sleeper that wakes up to nurse at least twice at night.  Unfortunately I have not come across anything that is 100% leakproof.  I think its because she eats so much.  On those rare nights that she doesn't eat as much, she doesn't leak. If she's eating a lot, then she might leak once or twice a week. 

    - I've tried BG 4.0s stuffed with two hemp 6R inserts and a microfiber insert (so 3 total).  This works most of the time but its not 100%.  Also, sometimes she just gets in a position (probably with her bottom in the air) where she can pee straight out of it.

    - I've tried an applecheeks stuffed with a hemp prefold and whatever else I could squeeze in there (maybe a flat).  I also like this option, but again, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

    -And I've tried sbish fitteds and some nice hybrid fitteds with wool. Sometimes the wool is sad and leaking in the morning, sometimes it isn't.

    I'm basically trying to work her down to 1 feeding a night.  If that happens I think we'll have a lot more options.  In the meantime, I try to mitigate damages by only letting her sleep in t-shirts and diapers (easier to change than a soaked footed sleeper) and keeping small waterproof pads on hand .
