any chance of staying dry?? 9 months and bfs 2-3 times in the night

Did you was the nappy and booster beforeyou used it? A couple of washes would be even better to increase the absorbency.

Did you make sure taht every single tiny bit of nappy was tucked inside the minky cover. I normally run my finger around teh legs and waist to make sure taht everything is tucked in.

Was the nappy absolutely sodden, or would there have been "room" for any more wee? If it was completely sodden then you probably need another booster or 2.

I think for overnight you need something more absorbent and slimmer fitting than MF, so you can at least double up on the absorbency. You need to boost and boost. Hemp or bamboo are best, as they are absorbent without being too bulky, so you can even put 2 nappies on underneath the wrap. Or get a specific night time booster pad to add at night. An MF booster next to the skin, with hemp or bamboo behind is good, as the MF absorbs quickly, and the hemp or bamboo wick the wet away. Also, you can't beat wool wraps for overnight, as they alllow the nappy to dry a bit between wees, without wetting anything else.

boostered bamboo quick flip with a wool wrap - perfect
