    Quick, Help! What can I use as a make-shift night cover??

    Just realised that all my fleecy covers are wet on the line & Punky is due to wake up any minute for a feed & her night nappy change... I have PUL but would rather not use it for night.. would trackies work as flongies? Either right way or inside out?? Probably wishfull thinking.....

    I have used the PUL overnight in desperation (also as a cover over a sposie to prevent the leaking) so it could work. Maybe just boost a little bit more and make sure there is a microfleece liner (or equivalent) so the bottom doesn't stay too wet.

    if you have fleece trackies, i.e they contain no cotton, they would be fine, if normal trackies nononononoooooo they will wick, id just use the PUL

    Gosh, we use PUL often overnight I know it's not ideal, but sometimes it's all we have. Just think about the awful plastic pants that we used to have on over our flats

    I would just use the PUL, it's only one night

    I'd use PUL for one night too. I think it's constant use of PUL overnight that can cause a rash.

    FWIW I didn't know that it's not recommended for overnight for the first few weeks of using cloth and used it with no problems
