Night time cloth nappy needed for very heavy wetter!

Hi. My dd is 8 weeks old and is a very heavy wetter. At the moment, I have resorted to putting her in Huggies for night time as she sleeps 10pm - 7.30am most nights. During the day, I put her in either tots bamboozles or motherease one size with booster pad and liner. However, in a matter of 2-3 hours she has soaked them all through, to a point where she almost 'squelches' as you pick her up!

I need recommendations for a night time nappy that will hold a lot of wee as I don't want to have to disturb her halfway through the night to change her nappy (nor do I want to keep changing the cot sheets in the morning!)

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

I can recommend Baby Beehinds , they are birth to potty and have two boosters which can be folded all sorts of ways. I have the hemp one which is my favourite night nappy but they have just started selling a bamboo fleece one too which is supposed to be even thirstier (and comes in lovely bright colours). I'd also suggest investigating wool wraps, these allow a small amount of evaporation making the nappy dryer in the morning.

If you need more layers, try boosting with hemp or bamboo inserts outside the nappy, between nappy and wrap, that way you don't get leaks at the legs but do get the extra absorbancy (you may well have to go up a size in wraps at night as which ever type of wrap you use, loose/baggy is best to allow air to circulate)

Tots Bots unbleached with a booster is very absorbent.

Wambamboos here - with either a microfibre cloth, mother of eden booster, an extra bamboo booster, or a combination of the lot.

Yup - anything with with bamboo or hemp and lots of it! I've just got some lovely bumhuggers from Ella's House which worked very nicely at night for dd, but I can see you might want something more industrial strength. All the best
