I use Mother-ease OS stretchy cotton terry fitteds on my 19 mo old. Overnight, I snap in one liner and fold a second in front (I have a little boy). I cover with a Mother-ease AirFlow cover. This set up has worked well for us over the past several months. He will change positions a decent amount overnight (especially now that he sleeps in his own bed). He is in the set up for about 12 hours and I rarely have leaks.

You could maybe make the HH absorbent enough but most likely not. I’d suggest trying one of my nighttime solutions listed in the My Recommendations tab.

Absorbent inserts would be something like the SuperDo.

Hi, I know this is an old post, but I didn’t want to post way out of topic.

I want to use cloth diapers at night but am worried that it will make my son a worse sleeper than he already is. He is 14 months old and is a very heavy wetter. He fills a disposable to its limit every night (between 8 pm and 6 am). He is still nursing and nurses before bed and again between 4 and 5 am (to help make him sleepy and quiet so he doesnt wake up the whole house).
I own a mixture of Happy Heinys, Grobaby, and Kushies diapers and hope to use my current diapers for niht if possible. He usually soaks them every 2 hours in the day, 3 hours if double stuffed or with doublers.
Any suggestions of what I can do to cloth diaper at night?

Michelle, hope you long ago figured this problem out, but since you have fuzzibunz…did you try stuffing it with a set of hemp/bamboo insert on the bottom and a microfiber one on top. Then you have the shells and you can place an additional microfleece liner next to her skin for added dryness?

Thank you, Autumn. I checked at http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/covers.htm#leggins to see what it said, and then I also thought to check the “book” of care instructions that they send with each new order. The cover does need to be lanolized – they recommend doing it twice before first use. I did that and have been using it along with one of the new Bumboo Bamboo/Silk fitteds at night, with a raw silk liner and have had no leaks and no rash so far! I had been having some problems with rash on my DD because of an allergic reaction to some disposable inserts she had over 2 months ago and this combo has helped to clear her up. I and my mother noticed after the first night of using the raw silk that her rash had ALL cleared up (she had had some small lingering spots that would just not go away). Such a relief!

What does the rash look like? If all of them have it you may have a yeast problem. If so the diapers will need to be treated properly to kill the yeast.

Go back to where you purchased it and check the listing. Some soakers come lanolized. If it doesn’t say then it’s probably not ready.

I noticed that the Disana wool soaker is mentioned here a few times (in the posts). I had been wanting to get a wool soaker for nighttime, so I decided on the Disana. I got it in the other day and washed it with the Eucalan Wool Wash. I have not used it yet, as I am waiting for the diapers I ordered to use with it. Does anyone know if this soaker needs to be lanolized before the first use?

Please help me!!! My problem is not leaking it’s the diaper rash that won’t go away on my older kids. I have 3 older kids who still need “pull-ups” at night. I don’t want to use any more disposables but I can’t find anything that will keep them from waking up with a horrible rash. I’ve tried several different laundry detergents and several different types of cloth diapers. All 3 of them are heavy night wetters and always wake up with an awful rash that will only go away after 3-4 nights of wearing disposables. If you have any ideas please send them my way! Thanks so much.
