MARLENE: He now has on a GK minky times pocket with the bamboo insert (it's a double layer one) and then i folded up a terry flat (which made 4 layers) and shoved that in the pocket as well, I then covered all that with a Maz minky cover.
He now has the biggest butt you can imagine, LOL, and I don't think he can even rollover in bed, HAHAHAHA.

Do you think set up will work till I get a proper NN? Or am I heading for wet jammies and sheets in the morning?"

- how much does said gorgy bub weigh?
- how much does said gorgy bub usually wet in a night?
- how long does a GK minkytimes pocket last him in the day? is it stuffed wiht a GK bamboo insert then too?

big butt is not a prob in itself
i'm impressed HOW MUCH you fitted into the pocket cavity!

-do you have any more bamboo inserts (apart from the GK to put in there, instead of the flat - just to get the bulk quotient down and the absorbency quotient up, e.g a bamboo trifold or booster?

-is there any leg gape, once you close the pocket on him?
sometimes if you OVERSTUFF with bulky fabric, overstuffing can be an issue

-does he have FIRM or LOOSE fitting pj bottoms on over the top of the pretend night nappy? Loose is your best bet (if you got no longies).

-do you have any woollies? to put over the top?

- MInkytimes will have a hidden layer of PUL in it. Once a PUL nappy, is 100% saturated in the absorbency layers, THEN the pul gets wet. So the success of your experiment, will rely, on how much of a wee machine you have there, over the course of one night (and how long he sleeps too). PUL nappies are more suited to short wears, e.g daytime, because of this. But i did have one fleece night nappy, with hidden PUL, i think it worked, due to the fleece outer. One of the very first MCN i ever bought, during the first Nappy Hunt i did, whilst pregnant with bilby - sigh - those were the days! (of nausea all day and night! LOL, so researching mcn distracted me).

Kazbah - sign me up to MCN ANonymous - i need to be de-toxed methinks!
I have tried the Starbunz trainers on bilbs once, unfortunately, she cannot handle the staydry inner, but they are excellent, other than that (for us). ANother bub who can handle staydry inners, would be great on them. (i am not a happy camper, to have to keep her out of funky purple starbunz trainers!!! so cute).

NaNa - having a bub made me lose my butt too, but not thru exercise, i suspect i'm in the peri-menopause stage. Is all the pram pushing working? is sleep happening?
