Cloth diaperers... Question

[jjh1119]

So we use 'sposies honest company's brand. I love them. But overnights are pretty much a no go. So we use huggies overnights a size up for night time. He still leaks through those. If I do a diaper change he wakes up, so I'm trying to think of something that will last overnight. He goes down around 8 and wakes up about 6-7 or so. He has a bottle before bed, sometimes one more in the MOTN. Sometimes two feedings during a growth spurt. I definitely change if he has three bottles because that's like 18 oz of formula and a bit too much pee for any diaper to handle. However, how are cloth diapers for overnight? I'm thinking if they can handle 10 hours and one- two bottles I might want to try.

Can they potentially hold two feedings/10-11 hours?

He never poops overnight.

We leak through our cloth diapers almost every night. The last few nights it's been better with fewer wake ups/feedings, but I'm struggling to find a solution myself. I've heard that wool covers are the way to go, but they're expensive.

We also leak through cloth at night pretty frequently... I have some hemp inserts I'm planning to try as soon as I prep them.

We use bamboo/cotton prefolds and go most nights from 8-5 without a diaper change, with an occasional compression leak.

Hmmm, with seeing words like "expensive" and "prep" and "mostly leak" I think maybe I won't even try. Once because lazy. Two because cheap. and Three because most of the other stuff you guys said sound like a foreign language to me

Thanks for the info! I was able to stealthily change his diaper with help from DH last night without him waking up. I basically let him stay on his belly and then when I needed to flip him, H helped so it was seamless. I guess maybe with some practice he will stay asleep. Or once we are past this growth spurt he can STTN again. Less drinking = less output.

We don't have any leaks with cloth at night. LO sleeps from 7:30p - 5am. He's usually in a double/triple stuffed pocket or a fitted with a cover.

catlady22, Is he a hefty pee-er? Does he eat during the night, too?

[nerdalert]

CD didn't work out for us. Now I use Luvs 24/7 and never have leaks. They always hold overnight, even if she wakes up to nurse several times.

We 100% cd and don't have leak issues at night. It's all about finding what works for you. We use bg pockets at night, stuffed with a microfiber and an fst, and no leaks for my heavy wetter!

Just now getting back on her...been so busy! LO usually eats 1-2 times a night. He's gotten to be more of a heavy wetter in the last few weeks but most of the time 3 inserts in a pocket diaper can keep him dry all night.

Fwiw I don't cd but have found the pampers 12 hour snugglers to be the most effective in keeping Lo dry at night.

oddly enough, we havent had any leaks since I wrote this post lol. but thank you!

They sell a diaper booster pad, one of my friends uses these. I have not tried them, but I've come close to buying them a couple of times
