Leaky nappy

Can anyone recommend a cloth nappy system for nights? My 8 month old sleeps on his side and always leaks out of his nappy. It's not that they're full, i change them every few hours at night

Could you just use disposable for nighttime? We used proper ones during the day and disposable at night, never changed them, lasted 7pm-7am no leaks or anything.

I use a little lamb bamboo, boosted, with a pre-fold folded up and slipped inside the wrap (so outside the nappy). Normally either a blueberry Capri or a Muslinz wrap (both seem pretty leak proof with this combination !

@NuffSaidSam i think because he sleeps on his side, the wee is coming out if the disposable ones. I read something about the fabric ones being more leak proof. Do you find this? Want to try something as washing and drying our bed sheets each day is a bit of a faff 😆

I've always found disposable better in terms of leaks tbh.

Have you tried different sizes and brands? Sometimes it's just a bad fit.

I would maybe try pants over the top to keep it in place. Maybe nappy, vest, pants, PJ's.

Also make sure you're tucking his willy down into the nappy and not letting it like to one side!

A fitted Nappy of your choice with a fleece or wool cover would be my solution
