hello mommies!
i have a 10 month and i only use cloth diapers . we use (and love) fuzzi bunz. the problem is, she's a heavy wetter and she sleeps 12 hours solid at night (this second part is NOT a problem! lol). the fuzzis just won't hold! we've stuffed them different ways, 2 or 3 inserts, hemp, terrycloth etc. no luck. we've stuffed her so much her butt is huge and she's uncomfortable. this morning she woke up soaked :-( we could use disposables at night, but i'd hate to. i'm wondering what other cd'ing mamas use?
You could also try wool covers. I'm def no expert on wool but my understanding is that it's great for heavy wetters.
I like the Thirsties Fab Fitted with a couple of hemp liners. You can get the hemp liners in different sizes. I just got her some of the largest ones for overnight.
I know you don't want to hear this, but we used 1 Huggies diaper each night. My son also slept 11-12 hours each night, and I was totally opposed to waking him for anything. I figured that compared to the dozens of disposables other families put in the landfill each week, my 7/week weren't the end of the world.
My 19 month old is a pretty heavy overnight wetter. We got some big premium size microfiber auto towels from sam's club and stuff 3 of those in his overnight diapers (BG 3.0 diapers, so kind of standard one-size pockets). Just recently, it's been working less well and even though he's only 25lbs, it seemed like it was a stretch to get the poofy diapers on him, so we got some Large FuzziBunz pockets that we fill with the same stuffing. Since it's a bigger diaper, it holds all the stuffing better. We can actually fit more stuffing in there, and if he starts outwetting this, I can add some more.
I like BumGenius. We did 2 normal and 1 double for my son, MAJOR heavy wetter. My daughter is 5 months and also a heavy wetter. I use the Flip for her with an insert and a hemp.
I use BumGenius pocket diapers with 2 inserts
Although I am not familiar with the cloth diapers on the market now, do you double diaper at night? and have you ever put a super sanitary napkin inside the night time diaper. I remember doing that years ago for the same problem....
I used pockets with my super soaker and ended up with terri on top, hemp in the middle, and terri on bottom. Huge diaper, but it worked - most of the time. I've heard of wool covers too, but never ventured into them. I was too lazy to handwash them especially if they got poop on them.
My son was a HUGE bed time wetter! What we had to do is use the Thirsties Hemp prefold, and a hemp inserts, WITH a thirsties doubler. I use a either a Thirsties or Blueberry wrap. I also use the Fuzzibunz and it works really well. I really suggest the Thristies hemp prefold. They hold TONS!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, a fellow Ohioan! lol We've been doing great with GroVia but I also have BumGenius One Size pockets that are great overnight. I have also heard wool covers work great and have two but haven't yet had a need to try. you could pick up one of whatever you want to try used at diaperswappers.com.
