Oh and Nikki re stuffing overnight... I use either 2 inserts and a doubler, or a microfibre towel ($6 from the warehouse) folded into a pad (= 6 layers) with a doubler, in a bigger xize Fuzzi (petite instead of medium). That is really confusing sorry!

Yeah, I know there are other cloth options.
I just remembered the other reason why I switched back to sposies at night is because of the smell. (DOn't let that put anyone else off). The ammonia almost made me throw up every morning.

I use wonderoos at night which is a pocket nappy and I use the twon inserts u get free and a flat folded four times so its long and thin and thenfold a quarter at one end over twice so its thicker at the front. This might not work for a girl cos boys pee at the front so i have more stuffing there. I have only had 2 change his PJs 3 times. Twice at the start when i was figuring out how to stuff it proerly and once when DP put the nappy on

Its definately doable - we've had way more success using cloth overnight than we did with disposables.
My girls isnt a very heavy wetter, but she is a tummy sleeper. We use a flannel flat, then a hemp booster, then a hemp flat, all pad folded and stuffed in a "fitted pocket" which is something I made myself (basically a pocket nappy like a fuzzibunz, but with flannelette outer and microfleece staydry inner) then a wool soaker or wool longies (pants) overtop.
Hemp is definatley the way to go for overnight.
Have a look at the forum on www.thenappynetwork.org.nz

For me the pocket system was easiest for me to get my head around and was recommended by tons of people. I like how you can adjust them for absorbancy and drying time is really good too.
That said, you never know i might reassess once using them but to be honest I doubt it.

I'm using real nappies & find them really good. I got them in the first place because they worked out a bit cheaper than the pocket nappies & you don't have to wash the cover every time. I have to admit that I haven't tried them at night yet - mainly because I'm lazy & don't want to risk having to change the sheets, but I've just bought some of the booster pads you can get with real nappies so will give them a go some time.
