Favorite fitted for overnight?

sarahintx05 · March 2009

We had been using pockets for night time, but they leak when DD is on her side. It usually happens when I'm nursing her when laying down in bed. I have 1 Goodmama, 1 B4, 1 Mutt and a couple of Bella Bottoms. The Goodmama and the B4 are absorbant enough for night time, but I need more than 2 so that I only have to do wash every 3 days or so. Anyone have any suggestions for a lower price fitted? I want to get 4 more so that I have enough for 2x each night for 3 nights and 4 more Goodmamas isn't in the budget right now, especially since we have tons of pockets I need to get rid of. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Our greensprouts nighty night works great!

I really love our B4's, but if you don't want to spend the $ or try and find them used, I can get by with one of our cricketts fitteds (hemp) if I add an extra hemp doubler to it (so snap in soaker and extra hemp) with my wool cover. I don't know if it'd work for us without the wool, to be honest. They're reasonably priced ($12 or $13, as I recall?). I add a foo foo hemp insert.

www.crickettsdiapers.com is the site, I believe.

It sounds a bit odd that they're leaking when she's on her side - are the pockets fitting correctly? I will give one caviat about the cricketts - they're a little big in the leg openings (especially on younger LO's), but it hasn't ever been much of an issue for us, since DS rarely poops at night.

She's wearing a BG 3.0 on the smallest rise snaps with 1 MF insert and one FooFoo hemp insert. She's about 13 lbs. They're not repelling, so I don't know what the issue is. I think it's really odd, too. Huh?

My fatty cake holds a ton of pee!

Does she have the same problem during the day or with fewer inserts? Maybe with the extra insert you need to move the BG's up to the medium size? For whatever reason, DS wasn't on the smallest setting for long - by the time he fit in them, I had to move them to medium fairly quickly - maybe you're right on that threshold?

Well, I know that for my DS, one MF insert with one hemp probably wouldn't be enough. I'd have to add another MF or another hemp insert.

We use Pampered Cheeks one size fitteds at night and love them. I bought them used on Diaper Swappers. I highly recommend going this route, you can find nice diapers for cheap.

I also really love my Sun Seedlings fitteds, which I think are very reasonably priced and totally gorgeous!
