Giving up on wool :(

adoxyinherear · April 2013

Despite some great advice I've gotten here, we've had only one dry night. I've been putting DD in a medium Sbish fitted with the doubler folded over in the back, and a hemp doubler folded over in the back, too, for extra absorbency, and when I get her up in the morning the front of the diaper is bone dry and the back is soaked. She does get up at least once in the night to nurse and she doesn't move around at night, so I know compression is an issue. I've lanolized my covers twice and I am just at my wit's end. I'm putting her in a mega-stuffed pocket tonight. Just super sad because I wanted this to work

Any hope that when she's older, moving around - and isn't waking to eat, I hope - we'll be able to switch back to wool and fitteds at night?

I only use wool at night when tiny had a booty rash. I put a fitted on, then wool then fleece zip up Jammie's.

If you need a break from wool, you can try the fitted with a cover or empty pocket over it. My pockets are jammed with hemp and she still soaked through, so Im trying the OBF tonight with a cover. I've been prepping them all day.
