I'm scared!! I have just put Luke down to bed in a cloth nappy... He has never worn cloth at night, so will be interesting to see how he goes. I put in a hemp/mfibre foxybots trifold, a hemp booster (3 layers) and a fuzzis mfibre insert... Does it sound like enough? Oh yeah all wrapped inside an ecobubs pocket. ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

Possibly is he a heavy wetter?? If he is then you may need somemore hemp. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

At Luke's age that would have been fine for Leo. But wetting got heavier and heavier over time. The Nix-Kidz hemp flats are great for boosting pockets overnight. You end up with 6 layers of hemp - I used one with a Foxybots mf/hemp trifold on top for Leo until he was around 18mths, then we had to switch to a fitted & cover.

we've been using a hemp trifold (peapod) and a prefold folded into 3 since charli was about 12mths old........the only way to know is to try....good luck ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

UPDATE: The first night was alright, he lasted until 5am (not sure it woke him or not) but was leaking alittle round the edges. Last night I stuffed it with a foxybots trifold, a peapods trifold and the ecobubs mf and it was great!! He lasted all night and there was still room to spare I reckon!! Am stoked that it worked, so now I need to decide if I need to buy another, as I usually only wash my nappies every second day... ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

YAY 
I have 2 night naps for DS as I wash every other day too - although not good when he decides to poo on the 2nd night once I have already got him ready for bed and we were on our last night nappy  ------------- Mum to Ellie, Dylan & Lauren |

Yay I'm sooo glad it worked after only 2 experiments! It took us ages to find a combo that worked! 
We have 3 night time naps. Sometimes I wash every 2nd day so at least I've always got one, usually two dried.. just in case |

Yay for you!
We have 2 night nappies (Designer Bums hemp fitteds with bamboo booster) plus one back up (Baby Beehind Hemp OSFA boosted with a Itti Bitti Bamboo trifold & mf booster). We wash every 1-2 days so 3 is enough (I say 'we' as I'm actually lucky enough to have a husband that does the washing too! ).
