Can it be done?

I'm lucky enough to have a MIL who loves to knit - she has made a few larger soakers, but has offered to make small ones if I'd use them.

I do wrap up Alexander, so would this prevent the soaker from doing its job and cause wicking onto clothes etc? He is quite a heavy wetter but I'd like to use wool more for the breathability and cuteness factor over PUL.

Even tho he is breastfed, his poos aren't usually too explosive and rarely escape the nappy so not too worried about cleaning poo off wool.

Thanks!
