Ok girls. I have decided. I am almost over prefolds overnight... i think it is a combination of DS cluster feeding up to 5-6 times between 8pm and 6am... and being barely coherent.
i am concerned the bamboo prefolds arent going to keep him dry enough for him to sleep longer periods (i am trying expressing and bottle before bed tonight...) and that will wake him up???
Perhaps i should stick to MCN and prefolds for day, sposies for night until he is big enough for the BBB system? At least i trust them for long periods??
sorry for my boohoo but kinda getting the sleep deprivation sobs!
PP. Do you have any boosters? I just added a bamboo booster to the prefold to give more absorbency. But soon (if not already) he should be ready for the Baby BeeHinds at night.

Atm i have a Bamboo trifold i have either been pad folding or pining as a prefold. So ultimately under his bum (angel fold) only has 2 layers bamboo and 1 microfibre...
I like the pad fold but hate the cleaning of the spilllage in the PUL covers on the edges (no leaks outside though at least)
Hey Nelle... how are your soapnuts (you use them right?)... might sometimes stain my nappies....
PP - when I was using prefolds I put the wings out of the pad fold to catch all the poop. Didn't have a problem getting it on the covers either?
She's been in the beehinds for about 2 weeks now I think?
Speaking of her (DD) - she has these welt type things on the sides of her legs where the nappies must be laying against. I can't think what nappies she wore yesterday - I know she had two WC on - baby beehinds at night... but my memory fails me for the others...
Anyone think what it is? I haven't put any new nappies on her - so unsure what is happening?!? It looks quite sore anyway...
Ahh, what I did was use a normal cotton prefold and lay another booster in there somewhere. Another option could be to grab some size 1 Tots Bots Bamboozles. Being bamboo terry (as opposed to fleece) they're quite trim. That's 4 layers of bamboo.
Mel, the marks could be rubbing from leg elastic? Like if she's kicking about a bit? Perhaps try a barrier cream in that place? What covers are you using? You might want to use a few fleece covers during the day?
Nelle - didn't use covers yesterday I don't think?? Over the BBB i've been using her wool covers.... and they have big leg holes... gawdddd... i don't even know what to put on it!!!!
i guess if I put something like bepanthen - if I ever find the bloody stuff in my house - it won't affect the nappies huh cos its more on the outside leg bit of the nappy?
