I've bought my first mcn- I'm crossing over to the dark side!!

woops, just got what you meant about 'liners'. Did you mean the stuff that goes in the pocket?

I leave mine together in the pail and pull it out when I put them in the wash. They don't come out on their own.

Umm, yeah, that's what i meant- the bamboo thingy that goes in the pocket But I was going to ask about liners too, so you saved me the trouble!

Well, I just used the pea pod on dd for three hours (including a two hour sleep) ad I am sold on mcn's. No leakage at all, just as dry as a disposable, and so cute with the big bumness

i think I'm going to try an IttiBitti and a Baby Beehind, see what I like and go from there

What do you do for night time? DD is sleeping through, and i'm reluctant to wake her to change her nappy.

[briggsy's girl]

i use baby beehind hemp or bamboo nappies with a maz cover overnight - DD doesn't have a nappy change for 12 hours-ish, and has never leaked from that combo

[wysiwyg]

I use a Green Kids with a bamboo insert and also have never had a leak in the 12 hours on.

I just wrote a nice reply and the computer ate it
Anyway,

I love the ittis o/night and DS rarely needs a change. I only change if he smells like he needs one (wee or poo) as he still wakes during the night. Some nights I don't change at all, and others only a couple of times at most. With the ittis you can get an extra mini booster to snap in if your child is a heavy wetter, mine's only a medium so I don't bother with it (got one to try but didn't need it).

Occasionally I'll use a green kids (GKs) pocket nappy with a bamboo booster and insert in it (usually only if it's close to when he might go down but might still stay awake/ have a short nap but sometimes he surprises me and goes for a longer nap) I think for me the itti's have more absorbancy - well I trust them more than the GKs even though they probably are as good as each other.

[*TripleJ*]

we use dedicated night nappies coz DS is a heavy wetter
we have a bubblebubs Good night sleep tight and a wild child night nappy but i did use the babybeehinds bamboo before he wet that much
and im currently waiting on some of babybeehinds new night nappiesn have to see how they go

[briggsy's girl]

ihave some Mazalicious night nappies too - forgot about those! they are absorbant - use them more on cooler nights when she has had a lot to drink during hte day...

[Lolli]

Hehe would you believe she just had a sleep in a 'sposie and leaked?

'Nother question- is the pea pod a pocket nappy? Can I add more inserts to make ot them more absorbent? What's an all-in-one?

They seem so spensive, I have to keep reminding myself they aren't, really, in the big scheme of things.

[leckert]

Can't help with the peapod (avoided buying these) but All-in-one (aka AIO) is treated basically the same as a sposie - as in it's all in one piece - just rinse (if pooped, or after being on all night - usually stinks), dry pail and then wash, hang out to dry and then use again. You don't have to do anything to with inserts or snap in stuff. they do tend to take longer to dry though.
