I still haven't re-braved the night time MCN thing...

I tried putting one on Brenna tonight and I stuffed it with the Baby Harmony mega soaker and 2 microfibre 3layers. When I lifted her legs there were gaps around the side so I put her in a sposie.

Can you 'overstuff' a pocket??? I had it in a medium size baby harmony nappy. I have got small FB's but I think they might be too small for Brenna now. Would anyone have a medium that I could please borrow just to see a size comparison????? ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2007 20:08:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=136734&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#136734 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=136730&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#136730 Author: aimeejoy

Kellz, if the inserts are really wet and they are still fitting ok she probably just needs more absorbancy. If you cant fit enough inserts into a small, you may need a bigger one for nights.

Yay, that the mediums fit Toni and no more leaks. Hannah with the chubby thighs only ever really fitted petites well for a short time. Her larges have fit perfectly since she was 12 months, and we still have 3 snaps to go. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2007 19:54:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=136730&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#136730 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=136672&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#136672 Author: Two Blondinis

Ecostore stuff is all natural and shouldn't cause build up in the nappies.

I would say that she is just needing more absorbency (like Caitlin).
Try 3 small inserts?

I am using 2 inserts and a boster in Isla's small fuzzi at night, and that has been fine until just lately,..they are not leaking but are really wet and cold to touch against her skin when we take it off and she is waking cos of it (we think). Now isnt lasting 12 hrs.
We do have one petite size fuzzi,..but no larger inserts, but I do have flats I could use in the petite.
Help!!

ETA- we soak our nappies in Ecostore Oxygen whitener cos we dont have hot water wash,...could a build up be a prob? Or is she just wetting more now she older?!

Emma I tried your medium (after I found the one I thought I had lost) DH thought it would be a good idea to leave it on top of the dryer DIRTY?!?!?! Nice!

Anyways, the medium fits so much better and sits just above where her sore bit is, so I'm going to get me a bunch of freebie mediums to tie us over until she fits the petites or larges better (yes I have them all )

Tonight I have put her to bed in a medium with 2 large inserts and a booster

maybe you should think about trying a fitted and cover overnight. or even just a wool cover over her pockets.

also from where were they leaking, could you tell?   maybe there was pressure on the nappy from her pj's that you wouldnt normally get due to the largeness of the nappy last night.]]> Thu, 26 Apr 2007 10:09:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=136017&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#136017 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=136008&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#136008 Author: Two Blondinis

yes and yes. I always do the leg test when I'm fitting nappies at demos.

I asked one of the other FB agents and apparently the petite might be sagging down (i.e. rise to long) now that she is more mobile and that I should get some mediums

My bonus just came in so they would be free but she wouldn't be in them for very long (3 months tops)
I guess I could always flick the petites onto trade me ]]> Thu, 26 Apr 2007 09:46:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=136008&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#136008 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=135989&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#135989 Author: Bizzy

I don't think hemp expands at all... like others have mentioned, it gets heavier, but not bulkier.

And as you may well know, Hannah went through the heavy wetting phase a few months ago where she would save it all up then absolutely flood the nappy. The only thing that ended up working for me was to get a wool cover and use that over the top of her night nappy to prevent anything soaking the pjs/bed that the nappy couldn't deal with. Worked a treat - used a Designer Bums cover. Made her waddle like a maniac tho... but who cares when she is meant to be lying down!]]> Wed, 25 Apr 2007 13:26:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=135713&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#135713 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=135480&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#135480 Author: My3Sons

We've been giving Caitlin heaps of water during the day (probably 500mls worth) due to her medication.

She's always been a heavy wetter but has been fine for 3+ hours using a large microfibre insert during then day, I've just started to add a booster with this and that is ample for day time use.

Our problem is at night time though. I've been playing around with adding inserts and boosters of varying quantities. We've never had any leaks but in the morning (after a 12 hour sleep) the nappy is sodden and the fleece feels damp, that's with 1 large inserts and a small insert (both 3 layer microfibre).
Last night I tried 1 large, 1 small and a booster. In the morning the fleece and her bum was dry but the nappy had gaped around the legs and had leaked into her bed My first ever leak with Fuzzis, I was most upset!

I've heard a lot about how good the hemp ones are (after heaps of washing) but I had also heard that they expand the wetter they get, so I don't think that will solve our problem.

Any suggestions?]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:06:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6986&PID=135358&title=bedtime-insert-advice-please#135358
