What do you use as an overnight cloth diaper?

acia · October 2009

DD is starting to go 4-6 hours overnight, and even when she doesn't I hesitate to change her because it gets her so worked up. She's soaking right through her Kissaluvs...

What do you recommend as the best diaper to use overnight (most absorbent, best fit, etc.)? I'm hoping for something easy to use (i.e. all-in-one) since I'll be half asleep if I do change her, and price is no object, since I'll only be buying 3-4 of them. Also, I'm looking for something widely available, since I'm in Canada and that makes getting things online more complicated. We have a local store that carries BumGenius, Fuzzi Bunz, Jam Tots, Apple Cheeks, and Bummis, so ideally it would be one of those brands....

Pockets & AIOs were a no go for us, as much as I wanted them to work. DS is a heavy wetter, & I haven't found a pocket or AIO that can last more than 1.5 -2 hours.

We use SBish fitteds & a wool cover & no longer change DS at night. The sizing is such that you can really use one size for a wide weight range. The wool cover only needs to be washed every 2 weeks or when the poop leaks out of the fitted, which would be very rare. You could probably get away with using a regular cover (like a Thirsties) if your LO isn't a ridiculous wetter.

We've had no leaks out of this set up. The outside of the fitted is barely wet in the a.m. it's so absorbent. DS is only having a BM every few days now, & the SBish fitted has held 12 hours of pee plus one of those massive poos w/ no issue.

I use a BG pocket with 2 doublers. You can also get a BG AIO that has a pocket in it for more absorbency (again, I stuff it with 2 doublers on top of the sewn in absorbency. That has worked for us, though as pp recommended, I've heard great things about fitteds with wool.

Fitteds and wool were all that worked for us. We used Goodmamas or Sun Seedling night times with a hemp doubler & wool on top.

DD isn't sleeping through the night yet but I love her Goodmamas for at night. They are so soft and absorbant! I have yet to try wool covers--we're still using Thirsties xs covers for now.

I do a BG3.0 with a normal insert (not the NB) and a hemp insert that I purchased off of Etsy. Or, I use a Blueberry diaper.

I also like the Sunseedling night time fitted (prefer the fleece inside) with a wool soaker.

Prefold with a soaker and a wool cover. I always had problems with DS at night and have finally seen the light with wool covers...perfect for overnight!!

I use blueberry or HH pockets with hemp and MF inserts. When he used to be a heavier wetter I would put a wool cover over but now he does not need it.

Second vote for Sbish!

I'm in Canada too, so our choice will be easy to find.

We use a Bambozzle with a Bummis cover. The one with the double gusset leg, super whisper wrap I think? We use a stay dry liner and last night I experimented with an apple cheeks hemp booster, not necessary, I just wanted to see how it worked. We don't usually change between 10pm and 7am. We have never had a leek or blowout.

We purchased everything at Baby on the Hip on Queen Street East in Toronto. They have an online store as well.

I forgot to add, Bambozzles are distributed by Bummis so your local store probably has them.

Goodmamas. We affectionately refer to them as the brick in our house. They.absorb.a.lot. And, are quite heavy in the morning.

Our go-to set up is a Drybee's fleece pocket with a superdo insert. Works like a charm and ds is very heavy wetter!

I uses a GM with a wool soaker. KLs suck.
