The thought of the Gremlins running out of MCNs scares me - can you imagine what that washing pile would be like?!?!? It'd be almost as high as the skytower! LOL

Fuzzis and Honey Child are similar (pretty much the same but improved and Kiwi made), both have a really big pocket area so you can stuff whatever you need to in there. I've heard of someone who folded up a towel in put that in there!
I've tested the HCs myself and could stuff 6 inserts in it and could still do it up - I'm yet to find a child that needed that much tho ]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:32:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16781&PID=370823&title=any-advice#370823 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16781&PID=370747&title=any-advice#370747 Author: Bizzy

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much. Going to give it a try. Will come back here later when have bit more time to reread and figure out exactly what it is I will need to buy!
One quick silly question - what is the difference between a pocket and a fitted? Are fuzzis considered fitted and Stacey's type considered pocket? If I went with something like a fuzzi can I not add extra inserts. Is there not as much space to stuff them.
Bizzy, interesting what you said about the pull up affecting it. I had wondered that too but then a couple of times when I didn't put the pull up on we had a big wet bed. Who knows??
Will buy something cloth and who knows may get addicted....

My daughter was 3yrs old when we switched her baby brother to cloth. She was still in a disposable at night but we often got leaks as she was a heavy wetter. We bought her an XL Fuzzi and stuffed it with 3 mf inserts and it did the trick! It might not seem like much stuffing but it was way more absorbant than a disposable or pull-up!

or you could just put extra layers on his bed so you just have to whip them off in the middle of the night and have a fresh set underneath and change him before you go to bed. i would suggest too that maybe the pull up over the nappy might be affecting it somewhat.   ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:53:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16781&PID=369919&title=any-advice#369919 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16781&PID=369895&title=any-advice#369895 Author: jack_&_charli

My boy knows how to pee through almost everything.

At his very worst we used one of my naps stuffed with 1 microfibre/hemp trifold, 2-2layer hemp trifolds, a 3 layer hemp booster and then on top of that we used a woolen soaker.

It makes for a big nap but in the morning the sheets and butt were dry which is the main thing.

Slowly though he's started peeing less during the night so we have been able to reduce the amount of inserts.

Daniel can pee through every fitted we have tried which some people rave about.

I think MCN's would be a great thing. You can customise the absorbancy to suit your needs so you shouldn't need to change sheets etc. Worst case is it takes a few nights to sort out the level needed but at least there would be an end to it.

My daughter has just recently become a mega wetter at night and we are having great sucess with a Monkey Doodle fitted with a doubler plus an extra hemp trifold insert for good measure. This combination with the cover over top and nothing gets out in the 12-13 hours she sleeps overnight!! ]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:56:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16781&PID=369785&title=any-advice#369785 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16781&PID=369784&title=any-advice#369784 Author: nikkitheknitter

I had problems with leaking with cloth... switched back to disposables and the leaking was worse... switched back to cloth and managed to find a solution.

Ended up being a majorly stuffed pocket with a large sized designer bums cover overtop.

So I would advise the same - I don't think a fitted would be beneficial as I really needed the waterproofing. So get a good pocket, lots of hemp and/or bamboo (trifolds are good), and a good wool cover.

I have to say that the nappy will be huuuuuuge. It'll shock ya But Ollie won't suffer any lasting effects other than a swagger on his way to bed at night.

I think you'll get differing opinions from everyone, so that's just mine.

Good luck!]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:55:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16781&PID=369784&title=any-advice#369784 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16781&PID=369778&title=any-advice#369778 Author: jack_&_charli

sounds like ollie is abit of a heavy wetter? in that case, maybe a fitted nappy with a soaker over the top or a pocket with hemp/bamboo and m/f?

i'm not 100% sure as mine aren't really big wetters, but i do think you should definately give cloth a go!!   you'd save alot $$$ not buying huggies

perhaps ask stacey (kebakat) about naps as i think her boy daniel is a heavy wetter.

Hi
I have only used disposables but have to admit that when I look at your threads I am tempted to give cloth a go for baby #2.
Ollie is now 18 months and we are having issues with night wetting maybe 30% of the time. It is such a pain getting up at 3 am to change nappies, sheets, sleeping bag etc and then resettle him. I have been using a Huggies nappy PLUS a pull up over the top! - Crazy isn't it?!? And I can't believe sometimes that STILL doesn't work. Anyway my question is would you guys think that I could solve this problem by using MCNs for night time? Or would cloth be worse?
If you think it might work what would I have to buy?
Thanks heaps.
