Pocket stuffing for nighttime

I'm currently using babycheeks nappies *most* of the time, although I've been lazy lately and been using sposies more. I've found that DS is leaking through his sposies at nighttime and wetting thru his safety sleep etc (such a PITA!!!) I normally use Treasures giggles, and have tried Pams but they're not really working either. I'd love to get a ecobubs or something but no $$ ATM.

So what I really want to know is, how many inserts would you use to stuff a pocket for nighttime? Daytime he usually has either 2x long inserts or 1x long and 2x short and will last in that for a few hours.

I have a couple of peapods bamboo trifold thingys, a few honey child long inserts + 1 booster and the rest are the babycheeks ones.

Sorry for the mammoth post but help greatly appreciated

Good question, I want to know too.
Rachelsea, how many layers is each of your microfibre insert?

Thanks Rachel, by flats do you mean the old school squares? I've got the plain ones of these (not the towelling ones)

Thanks Jen, I tried just putting him into a homebrand one last night and he leaked through yet again, hadn't thought of putting a pocket over the top.

I tried stuffing it like that and loosened the leg elastic one snap but there were big gapes around his legs, tried another pocket and that was really gapey (sp?) too so I ended up using a sposie with a pocket over the top.

Sounds like you need a bigger pocket to stuff with Lisa. You use baby cheeks right?? I have some homemade pockets that are a similar pattern to BCs and there is no way I can use them at night given how much stuffing our night-naps need. We get the same gaping. Great with one flat for day-time though.

I'd say give a larger nappy with a wide crotch a go. Then stuff with maybe 2 folded flats (like Rachel) and maybe one or two of your BC inserts. Hopefully that should combat the gaping.

also - I do have 3 new large honeychilds I'm wanting to off-load. Will sell for $20 each (no inserts) if you're interested

I stuffed it the way Rachel suggested last night and it didn't leak, well except for the morning #2's

What colour are your honey childs Anna?

I can't be bothered trying different brands of sposies, now I know that he can wear cloth during the night!

Right the pocket over the top of the nappy is no longer working I tried stuffing a mommy's touch with 2x old flats and 2x microfibre but there is still leg gape so I just left 2 microfibre in and used a sposie.

He is a mega wetter so any ideas what else I can do?

He leaks thru a sposie every night Sheena It's sooo annoying! Got the Pam's ultra yesterday and it was ok last night, didn't leak as much as the plain pams ones, will try with a pocket over the top tonight. I just can't be bothered to spend all this money trying sposies when I know I can get cloth to work.

On the plus side a friend is going to make a couple of pockets for me to use at nighttime so should be easier to stuff. I will order a pop-in nappy when we have some $$$
