Good mcn for big night wetter(newbie q)

Hi Ladies,

We have just converted to the wonderful world of cloth this past month... well still part time. DD is a BIG wetter at night and Im using terry during the day which I find Im changing around once an hour so Im still putting her in sposies at night as I dont want her sleeping in a wet terry.
So cutting a short story long, what is a good mcn known for night time? Ive just ordered some all in one baby beehinds but Im thinking I want to use them for if we go out during the day for convenience as Im happy to use terry when at home but have also read that they arent that good for night...??
I know different strokes for different folks, but any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Thank you in advance*

I'd like to know this too! :D

Peach - I don't know much about night nappies, but I think I've heard of people using Bamboo Baby Beehinds as a night nappy cause they're very absorbent.

I'll be following this thread :).

Hey :)

People use baby beehinds bamboo fitteds at night, with a wool cover over the top, but I found my kids outpeed that pretty quickly. I think miss m was outwetting it at around 6 months.

I can recommend what works here though for my heavy wetters - just like other nappies, its all trial and error what works with yours though.

The following all work great :)

Green kids pockets (stuffed to the max), genesa forge super nights, bubblebubs good night sleep tight, snoozywuns (hard to get hold of though), ticklefish tots, ummm can't think tonight - brain dead... might be back with more.

Some can be hard to get hold of, but are well worth it. If you don't want to shell out a lot of cash try the second hand sites and see if there are any on there going cheap so you find out what works for you :D

Good luck!

I was using BBH fitteds, then a GK bamboo insert, then a bamboo sherpa fitted.
That was working for me (not a NN recommendation I know...sorry) DS is too sensitive though, so we are in sposies over night now :(

Thanks Girls,
Ill have to check out some of those nappies suggested. Anyone else have suggestions?? :)

I bought a Bonnibums night nappy the other day and it's fantastic!

Nate outwees the BBH fitteds too, but I have some bamboo boosters and if I boost them they aren't too bad.

I also have a Sandy's but haven't used it yet.

Wool soakers - never thought I would be converted but I love love love mine.
Also made myself some fleece longies (like trackies but with a double layer of fleece in the 'wet zone') which are great too.

I ordered a wool cover from BBH, is this very different to a soaker? There are way too many to choose from!

I think a soaker absorbs more? & you have to lanolise a soaker.
Don't think you have to lanolise a cover??

Anyone else have suggestions??

I sold my wool covers that I had from baby beehinds, the rise wasn't high enough to cover some of the night nappies, so they didn't do what they were supposed to. Plus, I like using my longies and shorties for winter/summer as pj bottoms. Plus - DS got an allergic reaction from the elastic on the baby beehinds covers too.

Hmmm, so would I still use wool cover during the day? What about bum genius?? Thanks again!

Genesa Forge Super NIght. I'd like to see a baby who can outpee that monster!!

I've got 7 of their night nappies, they are BOMB proof :)

Bumgenius have a PUL outer so no wool needed.

MissyMoo - should I insert here that both my kids can outpee a GF super nights? ;) I have to have an extra booster on the outside of it and its always wet in the morning.

Googled genesa earlier... $40! Is that what Im looking at?
Arimeh- What is the super best of all you have tried in your opinion?? Green kids pockets? Would I be better using a pocket nappy? So many nappies!

We also use the BBB for night time (with boosting and wool cover) - but he's outpeeing them most of the time too!

Never thought of using Greenkids extra boosted... that might be a good option for his day sleep! Thanks Mel!

I'm tempted to try the GFSN on MissyMoo's recommendation (even if they don't work for your kids, Mel!) Now to see how the budget will stretch... :lol:

Nettie - they do work - if I chuck an extra booster on the outside. I have heaps of itti trifolds, so I just whack one of those on the outside - no biggie. I do that with most of the night nappies I have (except for green kids) even snoozywuns (the new versions seem to be not as absorbent as the bulky older versions especially). I just think my kids pee through everything.

Peach - hard to say what is the best. I love my older style snoozy's, they are awesome, and yes I love my green kids cos the pockets dry quick and I just have extra inserts so I've always got some ready to make up if I haven't had time to do them.

peach - NN are generally more expensive then normal nappies due to the amount of bamboo that is in them.
Ari hon OMG they out wet a GF WOW!!!!!

Ive actually been using an eco wool pocket for Vy at night. Works a treat..but I dont boost it with the booster that comes with it...ive made my own :)

So in your cloth expert opinions, for cost and effecivness would I be better getting a genesa or a pocket? Sorry to be asking the same question over and over! With pockets could I use the magic-all inserts and then terry which I already have? And then I could use it during the day too...
Its diffficult as I would hate to pay $40 then not be happy... not to mention if I order and more cloth I think DP will have a fit ;) But then would pocket work out the same price once I got a cover and boosters? Sorry again to be hassling!

If bubs is a heavy wetter, you'd be better off stuffing the pocket with bamboo boosters/inserts not terry :)

GF's work for most people - just not my two little monsters.

Ok Sweet, Thanks again so much for your help :)

My 7 month old can outwet a GF too..... :doh: It doesn't seem much more boosted than the day ones?? She doesn't even outwet a Pop in without a night booster, but does a GF?? Strange....


But neither of my two can outwet a Fluffy Bubs night nappy.....;)
Kane is a massive wetter, and barley soaks the tri booster in the back.... no cover required!

I have tried lots... and am now stocking up on only FB....:p

Id go a dedicated night nappy for a big wee'er rather than a pocket.

Maz- Why don't you use your night nappies on Vy?????

MEL's right....get some bamboo and make some boosters....terry is alright for through the day and the BBH boosters from magicals wont lat the night either..specially for a big wetter. A dedicated NN is a real must for a big wetter and you'll see the difference when you use one

there are second hand nappy sites were you can buy night nappies from and try for half the price of new when you can get them.

Nappy chic is a great second on line store and buy for baby. yes...$40 is a big outlay for a night nappy but once you see how much bamboo is to buy and the amount of boosting in them you'll understand. And dont forget..its not something you just simply throw out after use...you will use it until your baby is TT and hopefully any other babies that come along afterwards.

As for GFnight nappies...never tried one.....I use our Eco pockets as i said before for Vy and Wild child nn, Mirabai and snoozie..oh and I almost for got our sandman for Mateauz

ETA - Ang I get so sick of looking at my NN's lol that I pass them on. I should get of my butt and make some...:rolleyes: hahahahah

Maz's NN are nearly the only I ones I haven't tried... and I am dying to... I hear they are absolutely GREAT!!!! ;) ( and damn, they look soooo nice!)

Nooooo! Just when I decide on something you girls keep posting ideas lol. Ok... well I dont know what to do! I had my credit card on the ready but I think when DD is is bed tonight Ill spend time looking again instead of rushing while she is napping. Ive looked on both nappy chic and buy for baby as well as ebay, might have to keep my eyes peeled.
Thanks!

Peach hon stay away from ebay.......you'll waste you money.

Jodie :redface: watch out next month

huh? The day one is 1 booster, the super night has 7 layers and some layers sewn in from memory.

That is way more than the day one. Are you sure you have a super night ??

Missy moo - the one I got from you was a super night yeah? that gets outwet all the time. I have three others too - their booster system is a little different, but nikki told me it adds up to the same amount with the booster in it - so its still the same amount of layers, just different booster. And they all get wet through.. lol

Its supposed to be.......

My day and night both have sewn in stuff, the night is a little thicker... and a booster set each, front coloured panel, and a fold up booster underneath... again night one is a little thicker, but not much...

hope I wasn't swindled, but I swapped with another mum for my WCNN I think... she is well known, so I think It should be a NN......

they have 2 night nappies. The super night has 2 snap in boosters and a lay in booster ;)

I thought the one I got from you was a super night? Cos its only got one snap in booster, and another booster that folds in half, plus all the stuff sewn in.

Right, now I'm confuzzled.

Mel, thats what mine is like....

mine also outpees a GF infact he out pees all night nappies and i have tried nearly all of them i think except a maz and a woolly nights.
we have expecially made custom GF's with extra padding and PUL added and we also add a wool booster and bamboo inset and it lasts the night, we also use the minky AG and use a wool booster and bamboo added and thats lasts too

Wow, can I ask how old your little one is Fairystar? Ive decided to go with a pocket nappy as at least I can decide how much I want to put in it...
