Your little ones are sleeping for longer stretches at night but you haven’t quite figured out a nighttime diaper system that works. No doubt it’s beyond frustrating to answer a middle of the night cry for milk only to find your baby sopping wet. Well, let’s get that little bum a dryer nighttime solution.
Depending on the length that your little one sleeps consider using the Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted diaper. With this diaper you have a microfiber soaker that’s sewn in. Then you have the ability to add another soaker or insert into a little tunnel behind the sewn in soaker. You do need to have a cover for a fitted as there isn’t any kind of waterproofing added to it. A good choice would be the Thirsties Diaper Cover or Duo Wrap.
If you use a pocket diaper like the Knickernappies’ Custom Fit or bumGenius 4.0 you have a plethora of insert options. An insert that’s made of hemp like the Hemp Babies Little Weeds can be wrapped around a microfiber insert and then stuffed into the pocket. Hemp is a great material because the material absorbs up to 20% of its weight. You can also look into using Knickernappies’ Super-Do inserts or Hemp Stay-Dry Doubler. The Super-Do was made for heavy wetters and overnights. With six layers of hemp terry as well as two microfiber layers this is one insert that packs a punch!
I personally love using a prefold either tri-folded and then placed on top of an insert stuff into the pocket or wrapped around an insert. I’ve already mentioned using Hemp Babies but you can also use any of the prefolds found at Diva Diapers. If you’re looking for something less expensive try Knickernappies’ Indian Cotton Prefolds.
The key to nighttime diapering is to think outside of the box and be flexible. What worked when your child was a newborn will not work when she’s over a year old. Be flexible and use some of our suggestions!
