    I have all pockets or AIOs hun, but I am starting to look at night nappies now - looking at the Tots Bots fitteds with some sort of covers or the MM nights? Dunno - I feel like IM starting all over again with fitteds and covers!

    I doubt tots bots would be absorbant enough over night.
    There will be some WC night nappies go up in a few weeks I think

    TANSTAR - what sort of weight and body shape is your little man? is his sposie absolutely sodden after those 12 hr sleeps?

    plenty of night nappy options. sounds like it would be worth your while if he sleeps so long.

    tots bots fitteds are day nappies, i really don't like your chances of using that as a night nappy when he sleeps for so long.

    Has anyone tried the Thirsties AIO pocket hybrid? it's got leg gussets and is a sized nappy. it's the first aio i've heard of, that has leg gussets and comes in nb size (and all the other sizes too). or am i dreaming, did rumperoos do the same thing too? anyhoo the thirsties AIO, they're on sale at ozbabytrends. actually they have got some really good things on their sale page, some lovely stripey ecobubs washable wool pockets too. Even bumgenius OSFA pockets. and only $12 for the Aust Nappy Network 2009 calendar. impressive.

    i wish i had another bub to buy for!! one with a wide crotch too! so i could buy the Happy Heiny's monkeys nappy!

    WOTBB: still whizz kidz nightz and rainbow striped longies

    welcome MEGAN!

    anther successful stocking heh Maz? enjoy your nightcap hon!

    Thanks ladies! See ...clueless!
    Gigi - James' nappy is sometimes dry in the morning, crazy I know after 12 hours but he makes up for it but he really isn't a huge wetter or pooer. Other times his nappy is full but no leaks - we use Sorbies nappies. I got a Maz Blueberry cover tonight - would something like that be for nights or is it more a "pretty" day nappy? How do I measure the rise for him?? I think his tummy is big but I don't really know, legs are chubby and he is around 6kgs at 12 weeks.

    FJ - Thanks babe will keep an eye out for them. Are they called a Night Nappy??

    Tan - I haven't tried anything other than BBB's on DD for night times - and they do brilliant with a soaker over the top. She gets changed around 10.30pm and then changed again at 7.00am

    Wild Child Dreamy Night Nappy. You want the standard OSFA (well most) not the plus size. Mind you I use the standard WC fitted over night with no worries & Iain is a pretty big wetter.

    Gigi - Did Stu tell you I was trying to call you today? My local spotlight has 3 different ladybug print material. Was you still chasing something with ladybugs on it? They were between $2 & $4 a meter on the clerance tables. I would be happy to go back if you are keen.

    Emily sleeps 12-14 hours overnight and I've only ever used a bbb with a fleece cover overnight. Works well for us. I just use the long and short booster.

    Tan the rise is when you messure from his belly button down between his legs & back up to the small of his back. If you are looking at woolies as far as the rise goes. Messure over the nappy you intend on wearing it with so it fits over that.

    wipes wipes .. i need wipes .. i just was plain ones , like all velour .. nothing fancy and i want them to work !!

    well i want to go to pookey pockets shop today , but i think i will wait till the new relaunch of her store ..

    so there are no nappy stores in syd then ?? i going soon and want some fluff .

    Im selling off all my larges too .. DS is going on the potty and DD is still in smalls ... was out shopping with my mum today and he hadnt weed , hes been in pants for about 4 days now and doing soo well ., so we chased him around the store with our potty so he could wee in it!!!
    it was pretty funnny , then because i was in a change room , he had to be aswell . so he locekd himself in a change room and then came out starkers ...

    pmsl .. here is a 2yr old naked in the middle of trade secret .. then i tried to dress him , but he hada tanty ... so he ended up wearing the pair of togs i was buying ... hehe

    Woo Hoo I got it!!!!! Giraffes for my little man, it will look so good with his brown skin!

    Gigi, she is not day trained nor will be for a while. She is a special needs child and I don't think she'll be ready to tt for a long time yet.

    Lea, that's brilliant, I remember hearing Pookey pockets do an XL so I really should go check them out once they re-open. You're all going to think I'm so dumb but they're only 15 min away from me and I've never been there In my defence I only discovered them when I was heavily pregnant and getting around with a newborn and another child is not always easy.

    WONB BBB and fleece cover
    WOSB WC night nappy and soaker

    Goodnight, off to bed.

    lea/mel - I've had 2 itti bittis boosters shred on me in the last month. One which I've had replaced, the other I only noticed today. Mine were the boosters on the sewn in d'lish. No idea how it's happened. My mcn get washed on a nappy cycle, which is a gentle cycle and no other nappies have the problem.
