Nighttime help part deux

[Melanie]

I've had about 75% success with pocket diapers (either fuzzi bunz or happy heinys) at night. The one time I used a UBCPF and another hemp doubler it was a lake! Now I use 3 three layer hemp fleece doublers. One is a contour to make sure we reach the farthest diaper-pocket regions. I think that was one of our leaks, the doublers were just in the middle and he peed while in a position where it missed the doubler all together. So that's 1 three layer hemp fleece contour doubler and 2 three layer hemp fleece doublers. I got them from www.smjae.com. You might be able to find them elsewhere, too.

I have the contour doublers from smjae. Matter of fact, all of my doublers were from her until I got my JoeyBunz in the mail today (they are in the wash as I type, along with babykicks hemp prefolds, yea!) What has been working is a CPF (bikini twist) with two doublers (one folded in two) and her bummis SWW cover. Been successful three nights running with that. I really like the bummis cover better that the bumkins (it just feels more substantial to me). I ordered two PolarBabies fleece covers, but I am going to send them back. They don't fit well. I am going to order some Bumpy wool covers. I think that I will order one FB (but I am not holding my breath on that.)

Thanks to everyone who has helped me.

You will probably be very happy with the hemp prefolds. I have been happy with mine. I bought a Large Babykicks, and I should have bought the larger size, since I still need to use a samll hemp doubler with it. I also have a Polar Babies hemp prefold and I LOVE that one!!! It is so thick and soft. And I use that by itself at night with a Motherease Airflow cover and she goes all night!!

Is the polarbabies that much nicer than the babykicks? Will I regret not buying the polarbabies? Thanks

Let's put it this way, I thought the Babykicks one was SOOO soft, UNTIL I got the Polar babies. :) I don't regret buying the Babykicks one, since I wanted to try it, but I prefer the Polar Babies. The PB is also much thicker and I find it easier to pin. But if the Babykicks work for you, then that's great. They are also a few $$ cheaper than the Polar Babies.

HTH,

UGH.

I bought 6 reg. bks and 6 large ones. I guess I will have to get a PB to see. Maybe I can unload the bks and get PBs if I like them a lot more. GRRR!
