bedsharing and breastfeeding mums - what kind of nappy do you use for night times?

[onthefly]

It really depends how much they pee.... The sandman ones were good, but now really need extra boosting. We have a wild child night nappy that is great (though huge)
I hate it when he does a late poo just before bed!

oh tell me about it! Especially since NN take a lot longer to dry!!

i use Keester Kovers... they have been the best NN i have used !! its an AI2, ive never had wicking or compression leak with either of the kids when they sleep next to me !
i used to use a fitted / wool cover .. but i am really lazy and got over that phase pretty quickly

Boosted BBH and fleece cover always worked for us.

Haha, and there I was almost crying because I had spent all that time pre-washing the nappy for first use and waiting for it to dry and lanolising the wool cover and DD goes and does... a POO!! DH didn't get what I was so upset about, but glad you guys do! :-)

I was onto it tonight - put her in a flat after her bath, figuring a poo COULD be coming seeing as there wasn't much action in that area today... was on the money, she did it, and then straight in the BBH all ready for bed. ;-)

BBHB here. Haven't needed to boost it for DD, but DS needed boosting. Depends how wet they are at night. I use whatever cover I lay my hands on.

Must admit I do hate the smell of a cloth nappy in the morning if they have weed through the night. fwaaarr.

My best friend swears by the new Mandy Mac Purple nights and a Disana wool cover. I am just about to embark on this all again so I think I will probably do a similar thing, maybe a BBH bamboo in the earlier days when bub is waking more often.

esp when there is a 5mth old already in the bed then my 10 tonne 2yr climbs in .. its wee stank central in the bed then !!! and can probably gaurntee the cats peed in the room somewhere too

Hey there,

I tried DD in it last night. It was great - no leaks. :-) BUT: should the wool cover be wet / damp on the inside when you take it off? I am thinking she might need more boosting, since the crotch area of the wool cover was moist when I took it off in the morning. How do you know if they have enough boosting, or need more?

Sorry, I'm new to cloth and want to make sure I'm doing the right thing!!

thats fine if the wool cover is damp, its a good sign that the cover is drawing moisture away from the baby , wool may be wet to touch , kinda like condensation . so no need to worry . but if its really leaking everywhere , try lanolising hth
