Cloth Diapering

I need a new nighttime routine, fitteds?

I have been using a pocket (BG 4.0 or Sunbaby) with a GMD PF and hemp doubler for overnight and it worked well up until lately. The last few nights we've had leaks, and I'm pretty sure it's not a fit or repelling issue because both the PF and the doubler are soaked. I guess he's wetting more now that he's getting older (he also nurses all night).

I'm thinking I should try fitteds. Can you recommend your routine?

Re: I need a new nighttime routine, fitteds?

  • I had issues with leaks at night when LO was still nursing several times at night so I just change him. Now he nurses once (sometimes none) and I don?t have leaks. I use a prefold with a BG doubler (sometimes add a NB insert if going to bed early) but a Econobum cover. The key to our nighttime routine was the Econobum cover. The BG's seemed to gap somewhere or didn?t work well overly stuffed but work perfect during the day. 

  • I didn't think of trying an Econobum cover.. I have some of those and will try that tonight. Thanks! I'd like to get away without having to buy anything new. I just read through the thread about overnight diapering on the FAQs. Good suggestions there, too.

  • we use blueberry bamboo OS fitteds with flip covers for overnight.  We've never (knock on wood) had a leak.

  • Go for a fitted that is for overnights-We use Old School Cool, Monkey Snuggles ON, and Bububebe. We put a thirsties hemp insert under the inserts of the fitted. We top it with a wool soaker. You can get them upcycled on etsy for less than $15, or make one for much less than that (if you sew). My LO is a super soaker and practically the entire outside of the fitted (including the hemp insert) is wet, but we've never had any leaks with the wool soakers.

  • Fitteds and wool at night is the way to go! I've used TTNN's, Happy Hempy's (stuffed with bamboo and hemp) and Sbish snapless multi's (with a hemp doubler), with no leaks when paired with a wool soaker.
