Night nappies!!!

Cloth! We use DesignerBums hemp fitted nappies with a bamboo booster at night and have never ever had a leak (thanks to kiwivic for the recommendation!). In summer I was using DB merino covers over them but at the moment we're using woollen longies ( wool because it breathes and keeps everything dry).

PM me your snail mail addy, I'll lend you a couple of our night nappies to try (I recently did a count up and I have a few too many nappies ) (or detour past the next time you're heading to Auckland, or I'll give them to you at the party if you can last that long!).

We trialled Ecobubs wool pockets at night as well, stuffed with a hemp/microfibre trifold and a bamboo trifold, and that didn't leak either but with it really only being one layer I didn't trust it as much, I love fitted nappies overnight. The other nappy that's worked overnight is the new style DB (again) bamboo pocket fitted although we have a couple of Larges he doesn't really fit yet. Last night I tried our new Dream Eze fitted and while it's a lovely nappy it just didn't have the same absorbency (but thanks to the woollen longies still no leaks).

Actually I'd recommend woollen longies regardless of what you decide on, even over sposies, if your nappies leak at least the wool will keep your bedding dry. If you have a relly that knits there are a few free patterns around, you can often get longies second hand through TNN (I'll keep an eye out for you), or you can get them new through Tweedle or Craft Fetish. We have two pairs that we rotate - they just need airing between uses and the occasional wash and re-lanolising (I have some lanolin spray so super easy).

Hey Weegee where are the knitting patterns, I might get Mum to make some longies.

And where did you get your lanolising spray from.

Too lazy to google as I've gotta go out.

Kel:

Baby Bell Bottoms
Pimp My Longies
Doodlepants
Tiny Bird

(all knit on circular needles except the Tiny Bird ones)

I got my Sudz n Dudz spray from DesignerBums when I bought my covers but you can also get it from Mother's Instinct or Bumbles at the very least (ooh just checked on Mother's Instinct and she has some super cute longies too)

Me again Weegee I will try the ones Christine is sending me and if I have no luck maybe I can try yours at the party or buy some online...better go and check out the cloth nappy thread and see what I can learn

Hi Kye,
I had exactly the same prob as you a few weeks back - using Huggies bubs would have extremely wet nappies at night, wet clothes, wet sleeping bag, wet cot. I found using the sweet cheeks waterproof nappy cover over the top of the huggies nappy work a treat. Honestly they're awesome!!!!! I tried everything - even tried other nappies (which were far worse than Huggies). And what's great about the sweet cheeks waterproof nappy cover is that I got them from trademe, instead of through the shops for about $5 cheaper. This is the link: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Baby-gear/Nappies-changing/Cloth-nappies/Other/auction-225527216.htm These nappy covers fit all different sizes - one size fits all, cos they've got domes - newborn through to a 3 year old. Best of luck.

I had the same problem a couple of months back. I was using huggies and just started making sure the nappy was done up REALLY tight, especially around the legs.

hi i agree home brand nappies are awesome, i do use a cover at night, it is a honey child one, www.honeychild.co.nz,y have a soft sort of fleece fabric on the inside the keeps the dampness away from your baby, i also use one of the mattress covers which has the same stuff on it, check out the website and have a look
