night nappy

[dougie]

i have been using LLs with a LL wrap but for the past few days its been leaking on me, ive tried using a different wrap, boosting it with microfibre inserts all sorts but its just not working for me i dont think, lou seems to be wetting more than usual

seeing as you ladies know EVERYTHING! you might be able to make a more educated decision than me as what to try for night times

my stash is so;

3 BG V3s
2 Ittis - 1 AIO 1 SIO
1 Cushie
1 BB OS
1 Real Easy
2 Cheapies
1 Prefold

2 Microfibre inserts
1 Bambooty insert (waiting on the nappy still!)

Does anyone have any ideas?

Some people use a BGV3 with both inserts + a couple of MF boosters.
Pop Ins with the night time booster also works for some people.

If he's started to wee a lot more at night then 2 parters are the way forward.

Hemp and bamboo inserts and boosters soak up more wee than microfibre.
Fleece and wool wraps let the moisture evaporate so there's less leaks.

You could call in the heavies:

Weenotions Night Notions
Holdens Landing Bed Bugs
Puddlekins NN
Luscious Little Somethings NN

a good nappy to start with is Ellas House Bumhuggers as they can be boosted according to your LO's needs.
Have a look in the nappy library or on CNT to pick up preloved ones.
Good luck

Is it a bamboo LL? I find that good for night... but not LL wraps... they seem to be leaking on me day & night.. so I use ME or Totsbots ones. Also use size 2, with flip bit tucked under the front.

But other than that.. WNNN are meant to be very good

 

[dougie]

they are cotton ones, they have been fine up until now :/
i used a BB coverall and still was damp by 5am

a fleece soaker should be with me by tomorrow but i sweet talked the OH into a WNNN

Try doublestuffing your V3 for night time.I find that works really well

Alternatively,I love my Issy Bear for night,if you can talk your OH into one of those x

If you want to use LLs, I'd definitely use the bamboo ones with some extra bamboo boosters

 

[Dopeyjopey]

Pop ins with the night booster are perfect for us!

 

[dougie]

i only use the LLs because they were given to us and WERE reliable
oh and i have loads of them :/

ill see how we get on with the WNNN

 

[K477uk]

Are they size 1 ones? Could you try a microfibre cloth? I know some girls have used dish cloths ones which I think work well!

 

[dougie]

they are size 2
and i have tried with all sorts of boosters, microfibre, bamboo etc

it worked best with a bambooty insert!

 

[K477uk]

I think it's probably new nappy time then!!!

 

[dougie]

yeah boo, i was put on a ban too haha

i was expecting his fleece soaker to come today, hopefully tomorrow
then it will be night notions - hope they are good

The absolo=ute best thing for night is 2 bamboo traditional aquares, folded together, and covered with a wool cover. I know lots of people don't even consider uso=ing squares, but they really aren't that hard, once you've done a few, and you can't beat them for efficiency and absorbency.

If you really want to stick with shaped, 2 parters are better for overnight, and a wool cover really makes a huge difference overnight, because it allows the nappy to dry between wettings. There's also an extremely thirsty booster, which is fantastic for nights, called EcoEarth quick dry bamboo fleece Night time pads. Not the quick dry they say they are, but fantastically thirsty. Place either inside or outside the nappy, but under the nappy cover!
