Night diaper success

Well I have had 4 nights in a row now with no leaks!!

 I am so excited, I have been trying for months to find a diaper that won't leak at night. Mind you I have found diapers that have worked at different times. For his first year we used Applecheeks and they were great! Then they started to leak for some reason and I have been on the search since for the perfect night diaper. I have to admit I gave up for a couple months and just used disposable at night but when it came to buying another box of diapers I just couldn't do it (especially with the amount of cloth I own). The last 4 nights I have had success. Night one was a flip cover with the stay dry insert, a Blueberry insert and an Applecheeks hemp insert. It is HUGE on his bum but works great! Night 2 we used a Thirsties cover with the same inside and again no leaks. Night 3 we did the flip again and no leaks .. hehe I have been getting excited about this. Night 4 the Thirsties cover with the same inserts and dry in the morning! Tonight I changed it a bit and took out the Blueberry insert and put in a thinner one with the hopes of being able to have a smaller night diaper for his comfort.

We will see how tomorrow goes but I am feeling way better about cloth at night :)

New Fluff :)

Hello my name is Kim and I am a cloth diaper addict. I love when I get a new diaper! Wyatt got a couple new ones this week. We got the new Bum Genius 4.0 in Concrete Jungle, some more flip covers and stay dry inserts (as well as an organic insert that I plan on using at night), a Rumparooz one size in kangarooz and a new Thirsties cover for over night in blackbird.

I have been trying for about 18 months to find an overnight diaper that works for Wyatt. For awhile we were just using Pampers on him at night. I bought a big box of Pampers and said when it was gone I was not buying anymore. Well it finally finished 2 weeks ago and I have been washing sheets every morning. I am determined to find the perfect night diaper before he is potty trained ..lol. He has some nights that he does well in a Goodmama with a flip cover or Thirsties cover. some nights he leaks out of them. We have had success with the flip cover and stay dry insert with a flip disposable insert (the only thing I don't like about this is that it is cheaper for me to just use Pampers for disposable. I am finding that a diaper with a cover seems to work better than an all in one for overnight. He was so stuffed last night I don't know how he fell asleep.

"mommy I help" This is what I hear every time I do laundry. He is wearing his new Rumparooz.

He loves smelling his Rockin' Green. I always get a new scent every time I buy a bag and he gets excited to smell the new one :)

What do you use for a night diaper? I am always up for suggestions since I think I have tried almost everything (except pre-folds).

Laundry, laundry, laundry

Do you ever feel like it is never ending? I had 2 sick kids today so I have now washed all the blankets in my house. I feel like I have been doing laundry all day! Seriously I think it was 8 loads today. I can't wait for summer again to be able to hang stuff on the line.

One load was cloth diapers and as I was filling the machine I was noticing how many different brands and types of diapers I have. I have enjoyed using cloth diapers and I think they are so great for Wyatt (not to mention they are sooo cute!).

Seriously how cute is that bum :)

I have made my switch to natural laundry last year. I use Rockin' Green laundry detergent (sometimes Nellies) and I switched to dryer balls when I can't put clothes on the line. I find I get a lot of static with dryer balls and have been researching some natural ways to avoid all the static in the winter. Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Well I should get going and put away 8 loads of laundry.
