The almighty cloth diaper queen has fallen. Two days ago I bought a package of disposable diapers. Sad Face.
Baby G woke up FIVE times Sunday night, so no one really got a lot of sleep that night. She leaked through five diapers and we ran out of sheets. We resorted to covering her mattress with a large blanket and tucking it under (I know, not the safest in the world). The only diaper that hasn't leaked at night is my trusty Thirsties Fab Fitted/Hemp Insert/Duo Wrap cover and the only nap time diaper that I've trusted is my Mother-ease Sandy's fitted with Stay-dry insert and Londonware fleece cover. Other than that, everything has been leaking. My hemp solutions are not working as they had before moving to California. I don't know if it's the water here, or if baby G has turned into an even heavier wetter than before. I have no idea what is going on, but I even tried "stripping" my diapers yesterday.
I'm on a mission to fix it, but for now...disposables at night time if the Fab Fitted is dirty :-(
SOS!

Yeah, we had the same problem after our daughter was about 14 months. I couldn't even get a night time disposable to work and forget about using cloth! It was horrible, wet sheets all the time, and I had no idea what to do. She had NEVER leaked in any diapers before. I figure it was probably an age thing as she has gotten older she pees more at once instead of a little bit at a time. I finally resorted to a disposable with a Flip cover at night. It was the only way I could keep the disposables from leaking and I ended up having to stop using cloth at night because she always woke up red no matter what I did. We still use cloth during the day, but I even have to be careful during the day because one minute she will be dry and the next soaked. We are doing a bit of potty learning so that helps a bit. My best luck at night had always been a Flip cover with prefold and hemp inserts before I opted just to stick with the disposable at night (we don't go threw them that fast and we still save money).
ReplyDeleteI know lots of people are scared of wool, but you should start researching it. It will be your night time bff if she is wetting heavily.
