Mandy, it sounds like she is peeing too fast for just a hemp insert. Hemp is a slow absorber so it is usually paired with a microfiber insert. Lay the microfiber on top. It absorbs fast and as it fills up it will pass on to the hemp.

Autumn – I’ve been CD’ing for 11 mos and am starting to have some nighttime leaking issues. It’s happened so frequently that my husband and I have started putting her in sposies for overnights. YUCK! I generally use either HH or BG one-size dipes, both of which I stuff with a tri-folded hemp pre-fold. When she leaks, the inserts are usually wet but not drenched. I’ve tried up-sizing the dipes and am still having some leaks. I’m thinking this might be a fit issues but can’t quite put my finger on it. Any suggestions?

I like the bamboo bbh fitteds. I have not found a more consistent nighttime diaper than the Baby Beehind. I have not tried the Drybees fleece diapers or any Drybees for that matter. Drybees have a suedecloth inner and my youngest child has a severe sensitivity to that. I would suggest also giving the Happy Hempy a try. I have heard very positive things about them and their nighttime performance.

Thanks for all the great info and link. Those were the 2 wraps that I was looking at = ) Even better that I can find them gently used for a great price!! I’ll pass along your website for my friends to check out.

Prefolds and covers are a great idea for the newborn stage. Prefolds have so many uses, one being they make great pocket stuffers. A great place to buy prefolds is the ebay store granitesmith. I recommend the DSQ newborn / infant CLOTH DIAPER 4x8x4 INDIAN COTTON especially if you plan on trifolding them and laying them in a cover. As far as covers go, I had the best results with newborn prowraps. Bummis Super Whisper Wrap (bsww) is another popular cover. Thirsties covers are really nice as well w/ double gussets and great colors. You can usually find used covers (or any diaper) fairly easy on diapering communities like diaperswappers.

Hi Autumn,

I’m getting my first order of bumgenius today and am very excited. I’m also realizing that we will have to spend a small fortune to have enough all in ones for the newborn stage.

I’m looking at getting prefolds and diaper covers at least for the newborn phase since my babies usually move up a size by 6 weeks. Do you have any recomendations?

Thanks for all the info…this is a great site!
