this might sound crazy but...

two days ago i moved fully to day time cloth. two days ago my good sleeper became difficult.

he is still sleeping well at night when he happens to be in sposies.

do you think he is just fastidious and is stirring and waking when he wets as the cloth stays wet and he can feel it?

itti all in ones.

I put him back down in a sposie and havent heard a peep since, though i grant that one sleep isnt conclusive evidence.

Now what do i do? If that is in fact the problem am i screwed clothwise or would using liners help or maybe extra inserts?

He has no sign of rash or redness or anything either so i dont think the pee is hurting him to sit there, its like he objects to feeling wet!

Im confident on the fit (if anything its a teeny bit loose) but the microfleece is a great suggestion thanks!

If this is his problem...how weird!

Its not weird, its perfectly normal. (this might come across harsh but its not) How would you feel lying in your own pee, it wouldnt be very comfortable. Babies are born being able to control their bladders, its just that we 'untrain' them to it by putting them in nappies. Have you read about EC?

I second the microfleece liners, the Itti's say they have a dry top but they dont really, plus it makes cleaning them a whole lot easier. Good luck

naughty or attention seeking at one month old??? serious??? not a chance, that doesnt happen till around a year at the youngest! anyway you can look up peaceful parenting on FB, they are an american site, but have alot of really cool info about all sorts.

When DS was a newborn I tried cloth too and he often seemed more unsettled everytime he had one on. I couldn't work out if it was a coincidence or not. In the end i waited till he was 4 months as I felt way more confident about what his cries etc meant by then and he seemed perfectly happy wearing them.

So maybe just give yourself another month or two with disposibles and try again and see if it makes a difference. Kind of a bummer when you're all excited about your new gorgeous nappies and can't use them immediately but I doubt it's a permanent thing, so don't worry they won't be wasted (unless you bought heaps of little ones...)

He's also coming up to a growth spurt, could be that too??

I never noticed any difference with my boy, I was changing from flats to MCN's at that stage & microfibre type naps, didn't go into itti's til about 8 weeks.

In saying that we've just put him in sposies for night time cause he's waking & saying he's cold/wet. So maybe the cooler temps are making him wake with the nappy feeling cooler?

Threadjack away! I am curious about EC anyway, like i said my friend swore by it until her son crawled at 7 months and i couldnt work out how she was doing it. I can sometimes spot a poo coming (spot it enough to leave the nappy on for 5 more min anyway!) but those wees come out of nowhere!

I am thinking now it may have been a growth spurt and a bit of a tummy ache as the sleeping got increasingly worse for about a week but is now better then before thank god. I am pretty convinced the nappys contributed to the unsettled state though they can't take all the blame!

I chucked an extra soaker in the ittis - he's an extremely heavy wetter it appears and sleeps quite long periods so with the extra soaker the itti stays dry to the touch which is great as the liners i ordered are still coming

Caliandjack - no worries i couldnt try. I let him cry for about 30 seconds (Two big WAH's) then couldnt bear it any longer and rushed in to get him - then cried on him feeling bad because he was in a bit of a state and i'm not sure i could ever leave him like that. I'm with you on that one.

Yes - sometimes DS has a bit of a grizzle cry, like a long drawn out waaaaaaaaaah which is just a big protest before he goes to sleep and its just one that he seems to need to get out and i don't pick him up to sort it but the purple face crying i can't bear.

EC = Elimination Communication. I guess being so in tune with your infant that you can read their cues and need to eliminate and get them to a safe place in time! I would LOVE to hear from anyone whos done it other then her with success. Not so much potty training as you're not making them go on a schedule, just reading them to see when they will i guess? Could be wrong..
