    What do you recommend??

    DS2 sleeps 6-7hours straight and he soaks through a Cushie Tushie so I was wondering what you would reommend that would last that long without wetting completely through??

    He is quite a heavy wetter and poos explosions are still happening as well.

    Squidipa - I have boosted and boosted and he still leaks. I am just thinking that they are not suitable for him at all.

    CT's aren't a night nappy babe, so you may have to get something specifically designed for being one - especially since he is a heavy wetter.

    We use mainly GF's here now - and fluffy bubs, but still have some other brands. What size would he be in? How heavy is he?

    Mel - I know they arent a night nappy but he just sleeps so damn long!! Suppose I shouldnt whinge about it.

    He is 6.89kgs....got him weighed this morning...Lol. And quite skinny in the crutch but not round the waist.

    A friend of mine recommended that I should try BBH's??

    ETA - What are GF's??

    I've just been put onto BBH bamboos for night myself and they are awesome! DD is rpobably an average wetter but I'm told you can boost with extra bamboo or microfibre if you need as they grow bigger....

    I use bbh at night with both small and large bossters and also a trifold, with wool cover and dd has not out wet it yet, some night she wees so much i could wring the out but no leaks. She is 17 months and 9.5kilos and still night feeds. I like that they are natural against her skin over night, she is in them for about 10 hours or so.

    I amneeding them for all day use cause he just sleeps and sleeps. so I need something that doesnt need a cover cause it is just too hot for them here during the day.

    What are your other suggestions ladies?? Would a BBH Multifit work for him??

    When DD2 was little I made all her nappies and sewed a PUL outer layer on it to save having a cover and making it waterproof, as i made all mine I dont have much knowledge on different "brands" but i did have a pattern for a night nappy and booster and my DD was a heavy wetter so i used the night nappy plus 2 boosters to keep her dry enough until she woke up - sorry i cant be of much help re buying nappies

    never had experience with BBH multifits so can't help you there.
    GF stands for Genessa Forge nappies and I can't recommend them highly enough.
    Bundles of Buns are also fantastic.
    I realise that AOIs are easier, but BBH bamboo fitteds (or other fitteds of your choice but I find these great) and a wool soaker would be much cooler for bub than an AOI with PUL. Bamboo and wool are natual fibres that breathe whereas PUL is a manmade and doesn't.
    Fleece although it sounds like a hot and winter fabric is also much better.
    We live in central NSW and man I can tell you it's hot hot here. I use these as a preference hands down.
