Our 6 month old is outgrowing his size one Kissaluvs. As we move up in sizes are there any suggestions for an all-in-one or a better brand for overnight use? Maybe we are not caring for the diapers correctly but we have been unable to use them overnight because he gets a pretty good rash after wearing them through the night, even with the liners. Additionally, we using Bummies covers which tend to leek.

Thanks for in advance for your assistance.

I would suspect that the kissaluvs are just not absorbent enough to use at night. Generally speaking, Kissaluvs are not considered very absorbent, especially for their bulk. He's probably getting rashy because he's getting soaked. At around 4 months, we started using Benjamuffin nightdreamers (medium) with an aristocrat wool cover (although for the next baby I'll probably just use an Angeldry stretch wool cover, which is more trim). The nightdreamer is much much much more absorbent (there really isn't any comparison) than the kissaluv 1s and the Aristocrat (or Angeldry) is much more breathable than a Bummis and are also pretty leaky proof. If both are properly lanolized, there shouldn't be any leak problems, at least not THROUGH the cover. The only leaks I got with the Aristocrat was when Kaya was slimming down and the diaper was sometimes peeking out through the legs and I was getting wicking onto her clothing.

The other favorite nighttime fitted around here is a very baby simply nights fitted.

I'll let others who use pockets or AIOs speak up about them.

ETA: I forgot--I discovered Apronstrings fleece pockets as excellent for night time. I sized up and stuffed them with a Lizajane night insert + a Zannadu super large microfiber towel. They work great as well.

We've always used pockets diapers at night. At 6 months, he was in Fuzzibunz. From 10 months until now (19 months), he's been in ApronStringsBabyThings fleece pockets. These are my favorites! With pockets, you can customize the absorbancy, which helps to keep things dry. All fleece is nice because they breathe a bit.
