Back when i had my first and used cloth nappies (known as flats now i think)
I used to use bunnies........they were like a fleecy cover that you put on like a pair of knickers/shorts etc Does anyone know if these are still around? I just tried searching on TM for someone who asked me in here where to get them from but since it was 15years ago (woah making me sound super old right now) Im not sure if they are even still around But they would be great to put on over those houdhini boy wee'rs to stop the leaks when sleeping |

I think I've got one that a friend gave me - I tried it and it didn't work I'll take a photo tomorrow and see if it's the right thing as if not I want one 
Tonight I put one of my itti bitti SIO inserts in - the smaller shaped bit. Fingers crossed it holds out as we've had 4 nights in a row of leaks. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I thought they were 'fluffies' too. Didn't find them waterproof though? They're not wool, and don't have a waterproof layer if they're what I'm thinking of...
I used flats and covers (the cheap velcro feecyish ones from babycity etc...) exclusively till I was introduced to MCNs - when he was nearly 3 months old I think. I still use them albeit rarely. They work fine and I have NEVER had a leak (of any kind). But they're just not as pretty... ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

My itti bitti insert kinda worked, he still felt a little damp when he woke but much better than the previous days. I've doubled over it tonight and if that fails, off to get a cover or whatever the superduper night cloth nappy is. Last night he didn't even finish his 200mls before bed, so don't know where all the piddle comes from. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">
