HELP!!! need advice on nightime nappies!!

[*noni*e*]

hey there
i have a 6 and a half mth old little girl who recently has started leaking over night.. we use disposables and i thought her nappy was too small but going up a size made no difference..
i saw in another thread that cloth nappies may be the way to go to help this problem? she is waking up at say 2am after going to bed at 7pm ish and her nappy has leaked onto her pyjamas its probably 5-6 times out of 7days..
can anyone recomend a good nappy thats extra absorbant and wont leak over night?? its driving me crazy and looking online is really confusing lol ofc they all say they are good lol..
TIA

I personally dont use a specific "night nappy", I tend to find the BunGenius I have is enough if I use the night soaker and the microfibre insert together.

I know lots of girls use a night nappy and a soaker or longies overnight...hopefully Gigi will pop in and share some of her vast knowledge!

It will pretty much be trial and error until you find one that works for you GL and welcome to Cloth!

LS, from about 4 months there's no way I would have used a pocket at night, just too much wee to contend with!

Noni, it depends how you want to go. I personally use Baby Beehinds Bamboo nappies for overnight, you need a cover for these. The cover is a good thing though, it helps to stop the nappy from leaking! These nappies are very popular, nearly all cloth nappy users love them. Some people find though that as their bub gets older and wees more they need a dedicated night nappy. They do a fantastic job apparently, but do cost alot more.

Maybe in your case it's worth trying something like the Baby beehinds, and see how you go. If you think you need something more absorbent you can always sell the nappy on Buy4baby. Have a look on there anyway, you can pick up some good bargains, there are often BBB's for sale.

If you decide to go down this road, let us all know so we can recommend covers for you

Janie - so many people have said that to me too, and I just dont have a problem with it (well, yet anyhow!) lol She is a heavy wetter though (not just at night) but she actually seems to be wetting less overnight as she gets bigger!!

I think there are a couple of night nappies of B4B atm too

hey there..
the lovely lady at darlings downunder said i could try a nappy cover over my sposie to help with my leakage problem do u guys think that could work? what kinda covers are good?

[~Raven~]

I've used baby beehinds fitteds for the majority of Calebs life and they work fine, even when he was doing 14 hours overnight (*sigh* I wish these days...) The nappy was sopping in the morning but it never leaked out of the cover.

I also have a wild child and have been really happy with it. They are more expensive but if you are having to do a full bed strip and wash almost every night then it would be worth it and her only being 6 months you would get your moneys worth for sure.

Putting a cloth over a sposie could work alright but tbh I'd prefer just the cloth and wack in an extra booster

I use several different covers. Fleece, PUL and wool. Whatever is clean really
