Real nappies for night time-advice please!

[redclover79]

Hi
My next baby is not due til April so I thought I'd better start thinking about this now!
I live in a hard water area and plan on line drying nappies. What nappies would you recommend for night time use in particular?! I'm going to try nature babies diddy diapers for daytime, along with terries and nature babies stuffables lites (less daunting for dp!). Any advice gratefully appreciated! Thanks!

bumbles are fabulous night nappies and will do from birth to potty. wool wraps at night are great too and cut down the washing a little too

btw, i'm not a huge fan of the dizzy diaper i have. the poppers are a bit crap as they don't fit right and the fleece on mine repells the pee

I love the Happy Hempy stuffed with a terry square for night-time. I have a couple of Diddy Diapers for daytime. They are nice and slim but not the most absorbent. My favourite all-purpose nappy is the Tots Bots Bamboozle, and if you get aplix fastening they are fairly dp-proof They are great for daytime, but also great at night, if boosted with a folded muslin square.
It's a while since I've bought any nappies though, and I'm sure there are some more bamboo nappies out there to try.

Another vote for Tots Bots Bamboozles, but I prefer the Motherease rekie (sp?) wraps to the Tots Bots ones.

Thanks for your advice, was told that bamboo nappies etc take a long time to dry without a tumble drier, and also because I'm in a hard water area some nappies are better than others at staying soft...
PinkTinsel- I'm looking at the diddy diapers, not the dizzys, and I'm trying he ones that fasten with a nippa!!

cool, just a warning really as they're the same brand.

the bamboo nappies dry quite fast on the radiator evn if it's only on a couple of hours a day

The Happy Hempy stays soft without using the dryer (IME)

I'm using terries at nights with dd (13 weeks). We've used them since about 3 weeks. Good at night because they do give her an ENORMOUS bottom!

Used tots with ds from ages of about 15 months and when he stopped using night nappies ages 2.75.

Use motherease wraps with both.

fluffles are great and dry very very quickly

I like Minki Huggles for night use, although you won't need one on a newborn as they are huge, maybe from when your baby is a few months old.
My Huggles last 12 hours easily at night and I find them very reliable. There is more info about them at www.babykind.co.uk

Also fluffles are good and you can stuff them with boosters for night use if needed, and they dry nice and soft. Bumbles also can be boosted if you wanted to and dry fairly quickly. The Huggle's are slow drying, which means they are super absorbant but you have to balance that with the drying time.

Thaks everyone, will have a look at all the suggestions, I like the idea of bamboo and hemp but was put off by drying times so may leave those until LO is a bit older and not needing so many nappy changes!!

If you go for hemp, try getting a nappy that has lots of separate fold out layers (Baby Beehinds are excellent for this) that way the air gets to all the layers easily and you don't get musty smelling nappies (and they dry faster)

i just use a terry, 2 boosters and a fleece wrap at night with no problems, drying time not a problem as they dry in about 10 min on the radiator if i am not putting the dryer on. I use microfiber cloths for boosters (have cotton and bamboo but these take longer to dry).
Dh can put them on if i fold them ready.

Thanks for everyone's advice: is it better to use a fleece wrap at night? I've never clapped eyes on a fleece liner, are they PUL in the middle? Do they work in an extra absorbancy way while a motherease type wrap kind of holds any seepage? Sorry to be a bit thick!!
