You might want to check out the inserts that you can use with both
disposables and cloth.

Naturalbabies.com does sell inserts separately. Hm. Not as cute
a solution; but probably workable!

Or use a fleece baby blanket. Or cut up an outgrown fleece sleep gown.

Thanks, Angela - this is probably the best idea. I have to decide
whether or not I'm too lazy for it, though. ;-)

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,

Fuzzinbunz! We were having all sorts of problems at night till I managed to
get some of these on special. It does seem to be the microfleece that keeps
her nice and dry, and they are not as bulky as when we were double nappying.
Darn it, I wish I could afford some smaller ones for the new addition to be.

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.

We also use Fuzzi Bunz and also bought them from naturalbabies.com. We
love FBs and use them full-time after originally just buying a couple
to use at night. Colleen at naturalbabies.com is also a great WAHM and
has great customer service!

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

Thanks - it's a nice site!

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?


Yup, I think that's right. You could probably use any type of cloth
diaper with good absorbancy, and then use a microfleece liner to keep
her bum dry.

We've used a bit of everything overnight. Mostly we like Fuzzi Bunz,
but you're right, they're not cheap. We've also used disposables -- I
found that regular disposables (we liked Huggies supremes the best) were
"overnight" since they were so absorbant. We've also gone up a cover
size and used two prefolds.

A lot of moms use a liner or a pocket diaper to pull the wetness away
from the baby's skin. Mine has never had a diaper rash, so doubling up
on prefolds or using an overnight system without a wicking layer (like
fleece) was fine for us; if your baby is prone to redness, something
that doesn't leave the wet cloth against her skin might be a better choice.

I've ordered a Fuzzi Bunz to try it out. I have a suspicion that part of
the reason I went for this solution is that they're so cute. ;-) My baby
has made me insane!

Emily hasn't had diaper rash, but she's really fussy about being wet.
Oddly enough, dirty diapers bother her less - she just sort of sits still,
looking kind of depressed and resigned until Mommy and Daddy think to
check.
