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.

(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. 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! Manda |

Cloth diaper question
Elizabeth H Bonesteel spake thusly
In article , Maggie wrote: 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/ 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. -- Maggie |

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 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.

We've also gone up a cover size and used two prefolds. 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.
