Good cloth nappy for overnight

6 replies

Since DS has been sleeping a decent period (12 hours with a feed or two) we went back to disposables at night after he would soak his nappy in the early hours. However, I didn't want this to be forever, and he's now only having one feed during the night and we're going back to cloth.

We have fluffles which we normall stuff right up, although tonight we're using a nature babies loveable (bamboo) which is also stuffed right up with the bamboo booster and two thick terry boosters (and a fleece liner). We'll have to see how well this goes, but in the mean time, I'm looking for recommendations for night time nappies for really heavy wetters. We're quite happy to stuff the nappy right up if needs be, but I still don't think the fluffles will cut it.

Any suggestions?

How old is he? My ds is 6 months and we use original Tots Bots with a nippa and a Motherease wrap and its a fantasitc combination. They don't need stuffing. If he will fit in size 2s I'd be happy to send one for you to try?

Littlelamb - I'm amazed at that, I wouldn't leave my DD in a Tots Bots for more than 3.5hr and she's only 3 months!

My friends ds is the same lollipop- he is 7 months and she was constantly changing him. I don't really understand why though, as ds certainly wees plenty. I fold the flap thing in three and put it in front which is where he aims and he's fine all night. We are using only 3 nappies a day right now Tots bots wraps are crappola though.

I dunno, how do you tell that a nappy has been fully used? I've never had a wet leak with any nappy but they can get very soggy. I try and change every 3-4hr irrespective of how wet they look just because it can't be very nice wearing a sopping wet nappy even if there is a fleece liner.

I change every 3 hours or so during the day but want to go through the night. DS is 11mo.

We stuffed the nature babies loveable with 2 terry boosters and the bamboo booster and despite two massive feeds during the night (not sure why!) he was pretty wet but not complaining in the morning, so that worked ok (but we only have two of those)

Littlelamb - thanks for the offer. We use totsbots for the day but he definitely needs something to stuff during the night. He can, on a 'good day' (we have to encourage him to drink) soak a tots bots in an hour or two first thing in the morning.

I'll go and read that thread now if DS will let me
