Night time MCN

Hi

I use Ecobubs wool pockets at night. My DD is also a tummy sleeper and at 9 months is still almost completely BF - only about 3-4tbsps of solids per day, so she is also a decent wetter, and one of these (stuffed with hemp and microfibre) lasts all night (12 hours). They do require multiple sizes though - but you would probably be able to go straight into medium.

I also have a few itti bittis, and I find them no way near absorbant enough for night time.

you could always just get some inserts for the prefolds... snazzipants have some great boosters. also if you are pad folding them they tend to bunch and you might have better luck using a snappi.

itti bitti do a great night fitted - bitti boo - but they are not a one size and need a cover. they are great though. I think at that age they dont really need a nappy that lasts all night as it is easy to change them when they wake anyway.

If you don't want pockets I second the Bitti Boo with a waterproof cover. Very absorbent and no leaking. But come in multiple sizes.

I also recommend the Ecobubs Wool Night Nappy but they are pockets and come in multiple sizes..... Pockets aren't as fussy and as hard work as you think they might be (well, that's what I've found anyway )

There was also a thread recently where someone was recommending the Pop In Dream Dri Nappy which looks good (I haven't tried it though). It is a OSFM and not a pocket

i wish i could justify buying some bitti boos!   had one when eden was a newbrn and i loved it!

if you already use prefolds and covers then it wont be too hard to use fitteds. lots of people have had great success with designer bums fitteds, i dont think they are as trim as itti boos though. or how bout a night nap-nap... an excellent kiwi nappy and a one size too.

nap naps night nappy

I've just bought bitti boos for overnight and they seem great so far. I've gone straight into mediums even though DD is only 5kg. I figure seeing as they have a cover over them, it doesn't matter if the nappy isn't totally snug to begin with. I'm just using the covers from my small prefolds for now, but I will have to get bigger ones at some point.

I'm also optimistic that DD will fit mediums until she's toilet trained. She's not a heavy baby so far, and I've had a look in her plunket book at the "graphs for girls" page. If she keeps growing on the same percentile as she has been since birth, they should fit her until about 2yrs 8mths. Of course she may well change trajectory, but she's been bang on the same percentile since her 6week scan. Its a useful indicator of how long things might fit for anyway, I hope.

i wondered if the prefolds with boosters was leaking what sort of cover you are using. maybe you need a better cover.?

Yeah I was thinking of getting a 10 pack of the AIO's for daytime and a 5pack of the fitteds for night time.

Bizzy - I am using the Super Brite covers on the prefolds. They're supposed to be watrproof plus they have gussets.

Snazzipants sell the superbrites so they should be fine. They work for me but I prefer the bummis covers.

Carin you could always get a couple of tots bots and sell on TM if they don't work.

Yip a size small. He's too big for NB and too small for a medium. Small lasts up to 7kg and he's 6ish kg.

The Super Brites are the ones with gussets and a wipe clean interior.

Have managed to order a FlexiTot and an EasyFit Tot. Will see how they work out.
