I never used cloth when DD was newborn so not sure.
Do they wet more overnight? do i need night nappies for a young baby? or is it best just to change with every feed overnight? Ive read Pop Ins are the best for night use, and are OSFA. Has anyone used these from newborn-2months? Or are they best suitable for older babies? -------------

Overnight when DS was newborn I would just change at every feed as more often than not he would've done number 2s... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Agree with Jaune, I tended to just use a "normal" nappy until Kiara started sleeping more than 5 hours in one go, In saying that we did then start using sposies overnight as we didn't have a cloth night nappy at that stage but she wet through those too so we had to get a dedicated night nappy.
We use the pop-ins now, have 4 of them with the night booster, she was STTN (7-7) at 3 1/2 mths and we got the pop-ins at about 4 mths. ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| DS was in flats w/ pins overnight when a newborn and i changed every feed anyway. They lasted him fine. He only woke 2x a night from day 1 so they had heaps of time to soak up pee. Though i gave it up after about a 2 weeks and he was in sposies at night after that so not sure about it as a long term plan. |

I just changed every feed as DD pooed at each one. I had her in prefolds with a booster and that lasted a few hours alright, then moved onto pockets, and adjusted the stuffing as she grew. We now also use the pop-in original with night booster, totally reccommmend them. -------------

I have Ittis for this baby, so hopefully they will hold long enough 
Another question then, how many Pop ins do you ladies use? I was thinking 5 would be plenty but just buy extra boosters to give the other ones time to dry because the cover wouldnt take long. Is this what others do? -------------

Yeah I just used normal nappies. Pockets overnight and prefolds during day. THe pockets kept her dryer and if she did sleep a little longer it didn't mater casue I knew she'd not leak.

I changed every feed at that age cos she was a poo machine. She was in prefolds day and night. When she got a wee bit older and stopped pooing so often, I changed her into small bitti boos and bummis whisper wraps and they lasted all night - although she woke up a lot more than that so I'd change her sometimes anyway. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Should be plenty. I have 2 full pop-in nappies and 2 full insert sets (soaker set and dri nite booster) and the washing/drying turnaround seems to be ok with washing every second day...but I also have 4 bitti boos for night time which I think might be a little bit of overkill...but quite nice to mix it up a little bit! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| what the others said - pretty much every nappy would be a dirty one in the first weeks. But... she was sleeping 6-7 hours by around 6-7 weeks, but I was still using the same newborn nappies - they were a bamboo fleece with a cover. At around maybe 4 months or so, we started using a proper night nappy which is a bamboo fleece pocket, with microfibre & trifold, and a cover. That's still doing well at 12 hours plus a night. We have four and no problems drying them in time. |

I have 4 pop-ins with boosters, im too lazy to have less covers, just prefer having a full set. I have 4 diff colours so i have a system where i use them in a set order, so that way one doesnt get used more than the others. -------------

I have 2 sets of full pop ins with night booster, and then 2 spare sets, but I tend to put the extra sets into my Mybaby pockets lol, wasn't the intention but works fine that way.
I've never really run out unless shes done the poop overnight thing twice in a row and then I might have had to use the dryer to get them dry (I wash every 2nd day) ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
