I'm finding myself having to change bubs clothes and bedding for the last couple of 3am feeds as he's a side sleeper and seems to have a wet patch around his hip/back when he wakes.
Is it likely that this is a Magicall or BG leaking or just a hot and sweaty bub (either way I know it's mums user error) The nappies feel dry but sure enough the inserts are wet but not always sopping.
I really have no idea what clothes to dress the little fella in for night sleep time but generally go for a singlet, wondersuit and bunny rug as blanket rather than wrap.
It could be a leaking problem - how's the leg seal? I wonder if because he is a side sleeper, the crotch could be a little wide and when he has his legs together, it bunches it too much creating a gap? Just a thought anyway.
I never had any success with magicalls - the only pockets I use of a night time are green kids - but not for the new bub - I use baby beehinds fitted and a wool cover for her.
The leg seals seem fine when I put them on... certainly better than the prefolds w/ covers we use during the day which is why I made the change. A pee is still just a pee to me, as in, I haven't figured out a pattern of when he pees or poos more or less at particular times. I have a BBB w/ wool cover that I've only dared put on once as he definately has a bit more growing to do for that one.
Sounds like a leak if it is only around the hip area, KWIM? If bubs was sweaty, surely there'd be more than one sweaty patch?
Could you try extra boosting? (Sorry, I am generally ignorant of 'boy' issues, LOL! But...) Are you 'dressing him down' (i.e. so he doesn't pee right out the top)? Do you have other types of nappies you could try to see if there's a better fitting one? GL with it!
I don't find pockets a good enough of a seal for night time. No matter which one I used.
I still use a fitted nappie and a cover at night. 2 rows of elastic mean 2 barriers against leaks IYKWIM? also pockets seem to wick especially if they get overfull on the seams. If he is a side sleeper, like a sponge whe moisture will still follow gravity and thus where the inner meets the PUL meets the sheet, there will be leakage.....did that make sense?
My bub sleeps on his back and the bum genius leak out the back. If he sleeps for more than 3 hours I'll find him lying in a puddle. I'm guessing the moisture wicks out the back where the PUL and the liner are sewn together, there's nothing stopping moisture escaping.
What IS a good nighttime MCN? A flat nappy with a PUL cover works better than a BG.
Surely it's not the mcn's fault?
