Tips for nighttime

RioG1978

I find I'm going to a disposable at night sometimes, because her cloth gets soaked and I feel obligated to change it every 2 hours or more like I do in the day.

 What do you do at night?  Diapers I have to work with (am open to buying a few more if necessary) Kissaluv fitted organic hemp with hemp snap-in insert (not my favourite), Thirsty fitted, thirsty covers and wool covers.

I've thought about stuffing a thirsty with the hemp and then a wool cover, but with the heat wave that just seems so hot.

We use pockets, day and night. At night, it's stuffed with 1 MF, 1 hemp doubler, and 1 bamboo insert. This combo has worked for many months.

I have Kawaiis and use either a Good Night Heavy Wetter or a square tab crossover for night. I like the fleece layer between him and the inserts; he never gets rashy or seems uncomfortable.

We use fitteds and wool covers overnight.  FYI - wool is breathable and is not hot, even with the heat wave.  DD is currently in one right now and it's 102 outside.

Some fitteds that I like for overnight that tend to be readily available are Bububebe and Sustainablebabish OBF.  If you don't want to invest in those right now, I'd try adding a hemp insert to your fitteds and pairing with wool.  You may just need more absorbency in what you have.  FWIW I did not like Kissaluvs or Thirsties fitteds beyond the newborn phase, even with a doubler they just have enough absorbency.

Another option is to try pockets stuffed with hemp and/or bamboo inserts.

We use fitteds with wool and my DD does not seem sweaty or hot.  Wool is supposed to be more breathable than a disposable.  She sleeps in them for 12 hours at a time no problem!  I wouldn't worry about changing your child every two hours at night.  You will never get sleep this way!  Your baby needs to learn to sleep in the diaper all night.

Thirsties fitted stuffed with a Thirsties hemp insert inside a Flip cover is what we do. Zero leaks.

Thanks for the replies - for the record I'm not worried about leaks, I just get skeeved out thinking of her sitting in a really wet diaper all night. lt's in my head, I know!

I find the kissaluvs absorbency is terrible.  and no option to add anything really.  Thirsties is a bit better, but I don't ever stuff it.  If I did it would be better.  

I know wool is breatheable and cool, I guess it's the bulk that makes me think it's hot and uncomfortable - again - all in my head!

I'll try stuffing my thirsties and see what happens.
