Ive used cloth from birth and always got on well with a few makes...

Mainly consisting of-
Itti's- SIO, AIO, Tutto's
WNOS
Issy Bears
Flips
Blueberrys

Using the inserts they come with, Weenotions-use flp/BB inserts...

Only recently they haven't been working well, ive stripped them but this doesnt seem to make a differance my DS (20mth) turned into a mega pee-er!

Tutto's work best at 2/3hrs max and the worst are Issy's 1hr sometimes....

Any help/advice????
Thanks

Extra boosting?

Ittis - I always use the extra tiny snap-in booster (poppered once and folded in half to he front for a boy).

Blueberrys - I use the inserts they come with plus either a Little Lambs bamboo booster or the small microfibre BumGenius insert.

They last for ages.

I am also have a few leakage issues here! Use totbots shaped things and various wraps, with success for DS and now DD. My DD is 28months and I am wondering if the leaking is because she is holding onto her wee for a bit then doing lots in one go. Perhaps a hint for an attempt at potty training? I am not convinced she (or I am) is ready for potty yet so perhaps will go for a bit more padding on short term.

I gave up with pockets once DS started the power wees, went onto fitteds with wool and never looked back. Even now at nearly 5 a well boosted Hollow Oak or Bedbug with longies will do him overnight....
I used interlock longies for nursery - they were much harder wearing and looked more like normal trousers, and it was easy for nursery to understand - just replace the wet one, and pop the trousers back on.
Layer the boosters so that rapid absorbing fabrics are on top, with a slower, but more absorbant layer is underneath. I generally went for a fleece liner on top, microfibre, then bamboo fleece, with a hemp/bamboo layer at the bottom. Wool boosters are also fab for heavy wetters, but cant go under microfibre (and microfibre nappies like fluffles dont work with wool.

Sorry, I ment AIO / Snapin ones rather than pockets as such. They just didnt hold it after a certain point.

Ive borrowed some little lambs size 2's with flip outers and added boosters to the tuttos and seem to be working ok, just selling some pockets as i have loads and seems a waste if not using Sad
