Last night my daughter wore a Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted to bed. I initially stuffed it with a microfleece and to hemp inserts, but the bulk was crazy so I ended up taking out the microfleece. She doesn't really mind the bulk when it is in the front and bottom, but this time there was tons of bulk in the back so she couldn't lay flat comfortably. Does anyone else use these at night? What do you stuff yours with?
Tonight I stuffed my Thirsties with my Knickernappies Loopy Do G2 with a infant microfiber and hemp babies insert stuffed inside of it. I will see what happens in the morning. However I have a feeling it will be fine because I changed her before her bottle and then after (it was soaked) which I usually don't do. Maybe that will do the trick.
The are so so soft and have cute colors:) How they work...they work great for us. My daughter is 14 months old and I love the nice high rise as well as how they fit in the legs and around the waist. This morning the fitted was not soaked (like yesterday) and the cover was just slightly damp in the front. I may find that they aren't our best choice for nights but then I will just use them during the day. So far I have tried BumGenius 4.0 Pocket, FuzziBunz Pocket, Thirsties Duo AIO and my Fab Fitted at night but am sure not still what is the "best" for us. Any suggestions as to other diapers I may want to try for night? I never realized what a heavy wetter I had...
I ordered a few Sustainablebabyish Snapless Multi fitteds and have been using them with a wool cover over it. I'm still experimenting with how many inserts/soakers to put in without making it too bulky, but it seems to be working well so far. Last night we had a leak :( but I think its because I need to lanolize my wool again. Wool has been the answer for us lately, it's great. It's nice in this warmer weather for him to sleep in a t-shirt and diaper with wool over it because it's breathable and comfortable. I have a couple Sustainablebabyish OBF'S coming soon too (these are the "magic" nighttime diaper). I'm excited to see how these work, especially in comparison to the snapless Multi. I have also folded up a Flip organic cotton insert with a hemp doubler inside of it and stuffed it in a Go Green Champ pocket diaper and that seems to work pretty well. It all depends on how many times he nurses during the night, which lately has been a lot because he's teething....I can't wait for teething to be over!
Camden is wearing a fab fitted tonight! I haven't used a fitted at night in forever so I'm a bit nervous. I stuffed it with a Geffen Baby hemp insert and covered it with a Sweetpea cover.

How do you like the fab fitted? Tonight I've got Sebastian in a sbish Obf and a disana wool cover which is way too big and has only been lanolized once and doesn't have that tacky lanolin feel to it... I'm very nervous...this may not end well...
Tonight is the 3rd time I've used mine at night I am finally coming up with a less bulky stuffing. I love the feel of it, it is so soft, heck even the aplix is gently.
