Cloth diaper question
(This is kind of OT; but I know there are some cloth users here.)
Emily is 10 weeks old now, and has been blessing us with huge chunks of sleep at night - often, no kidding, 10 hours at a time. While this is pretty nice for Mom and Dad, it does tend o leave her with an uncomfortably wet diaper first thing in the morning. I've seen overnight disposable diapers, but not for babies under 20 pounds or so. Emily is about 11 pounds, and is very tall and thin (50th percentile in weight, 90th in height). Does anybody have a suggestion from the world of cloth? I've browsed naturalbabies.com and seen a few things that look workable; but they're not cheap, and I'd hate to spend a lot of money on experiments. (Well, actually, I think I'd really enjoy it; but it's not in the baby budget! ;-)) TIA, Liz & Emily (5/25/04) -- "No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable - and we believe they can do it again." -- John F. Kennedy, 6/10/1963 |

Does anybody have a suggestion from the world of cloth? Probably not worth suggesting as they're based in NZ, but I have my son (now 13 weeks old) in a size 1 fitted Snazzipants nappy/diaper with a booster and Bummis pull-on cover (Whisper pant). He's been wearing this since he was 9 weeks old and 12lbs, and he sleeps 10-11 hours. More info: http://www.snazzipants.co.nz/ -- Maggie |

(Well, actually, I think I'd really enjoy it; but it's not in the baby budget! ;-)) Hi Liz, We use a combination of Fuzzibunz and Wonderoos at night. They are expensive, but they do work great. I have 4 Fuzzibunz and 3 Wonderoos, but could probably get away with 4 pocket dipes total. Wonderoos are supposed to be one size fits all, which would theoretically make them cheaper. For some babies, they seem to work until toilet traning, but I don't think that'll be the case for us. I got mine at naturalbabies - her prices are good. I also bought some used from the diaperforums at diaperpin.com. You can also check out reviews of dipers on this site - very helpful. Good luck! Michelle |

They basically just provide an extra layer. I've heard that some people like to use them at night for extra protection. As for where to buy them... Online, for sure, and I've seen them in some stores (I'm in Ontario, Canada, though - not sure where you are). They basically just look like a big roll of toilet paper. ;-) I don't have experience yet, though! I'm just parroting what I've heard and read before. |

Oh I forgot to mention that you can get both disposable and washable inserts (and apparently some disposables can be washed a couple of times before needing to be thrown out). The washable ones just look like a little pad made of cloth. I have not seen those ones in stores, though. I've only seem them only online. |

I haven't used them myself, but I've heard good things about fleece liners, and there's no reason for them to be expensive. Just get a remnant of fleece (a couple bucks) at a fabric store and cut it up. No hemming or anything. Or use a fleece baby blanket. Or cut up an outgrown fleece sleep gown. I use these inside every diaper, and they do help keep the wet off the baby. I bought a fleece throw at TJ Maxx (but a lot of grocery stores now carry the equivalent for $5) and cut it up. If I were doing it again, and had a lot of fleece to use, I'd have cut shaped ones (I use shaped diapers) but I just cut 5"x10" rectangles. They do get pilly after a number of washings. --angela |

What I learned from reading is that it's the microfleece that's the key - that will keep her dry if she has sufficient layers underneath. Does that sound right?
