Well, lo and behold she still leaked through her heavy wetter disposables. Yikes! At least once a week, I would change her morning diaper and there were these little chemical crystals everywhere. Really gross and scary to think that was on my daughter’s skin. My temporary solution for the leaking? I placed a waterproof cover over the disposable. Seemed to work, but I was still not thrilled.
So after much research, I decided to start nixing the disposables at night and I placed a few orders for night-time solutions. THANKS KC! So here goes my 2 options that have successfully worked for me:
Option #1: KaWaii Goodnight Heavy Wetter One-Sized Cloth Diaper
The KaWaii comes with 2 very long and thick microfiber inserts. During naptime, I would probably just stick with the 2 microfiber inserts, but it becomes very bulky. So instead, I just use:
- 1 of the microfiber inserts
- BabyKicks Hemparoo Joey-Bunz Premium When I stuff, I make sure that the microfiber is closest to the baby’s skin, then the hemp right below just because I’ve read that other mommies do that since it absorbs a lot and slowly.
- Since my daughter does have very sensitive skin, I use a cloth diaper safe balm and I also use a Bummis Fleece Liner. The liner wicks away any of the moisture and in the morning, her bum is so dry!
Option #2: bumGenius 4.0 One-Size Stay Dry Cloth Diaper
I’ve only tried this once and I was a little nervous about it, but it worked!
How I stuffed:
- 1 long bumGenius microfiber insert snapped on its very first button for a little extra absorbency
- BabyKicks Hemparoo Joey-Bunz Premium. In this case I actually folded one of the hemp inserts so it created 3 layers instead of just 2. I did this towards the front of the diaper since she is a heavy tummy sleeper.
- Not pictured, but I used the Bummis Fleece Liner as well.
My daughter goes to sleep between 7-7:30pm. In the past, we would give her almond milk closer to her bedtime. Now I give it to her around 4:30-5:30pm and I have noticed a big difference in the amount of pee at night. Let’s see if we can keep that up.
Now the whole irony of this all? I learned a lot about night-time CDing a toddler, now I’m going to be cding a newborn any day now, so here goes CDing 101 again!
Til next time - Happy Dry Heiny’s!
