DD leaks from her BG OS pocket overnight and during naps. Is there a different insert that I should be using or can anyone recommend their overnight solution? I really don't want to have to resort to buying disposables for nap and nighttime!! Oh and DD is 11mo

Re: Overnight and nap leaking solution needed
What inserts are you currently using in the diapers? You may just need more absorbency. Try hemp and/or bamboo inserts. They're much more absorbent than MF. You may need to layer a few inserts for overnight to get maximum absorbency.
However, if you find adding absorbency to pockets doesn't work for naps/overnight, you may want to look into fitteds. We started using fitteds and wool when DD was 5 months old and no insert or snap combination on her pockets worked. We haven't had any leaks since. She was a tummy sleeper, so she had a lot of leaks out of the top of pockets.
It kind of sounds like you're just using one insert with your pockets?
If so, use two. Or one plus a hemp inserts like JoeyBunz. Or get some GMD yellow edge prefolds to stuff with (yes, prefolds are more absorbent than MF inserts).
I have zero interest in wool or fitteds, so I just added more stuffing to the pockets.
His "usual" day and nap diapers are now 1 MF and 1 2-ply Applecheeks Bamboo.
Overnight are 2 Alva MF/Bamboo 4 layer inserts plus an extra 3 layer bamboo, or a MF, a hemp doubler, and a MF/Bamboo.
The Alva 4 layer are a great insert. 2 of them isn't as bulky as 2 MF.
