Best CD insert/doubler

OK, what is the best insert you girls like? I need something for overnights. Now that DD is on milk she is soaking herself big time each night. I normally use both BG inserts and stuff one or two kissaluv hemp soakers in there, but I need something better, and her diaper is getting a bit bulky!

Re: Best CD insert/doubler

  • the hemp and the two bg inserts are not holding her?? good grief!  disposable overnight :)

    We use the two inserts and a hemp babies doubler and that holds T 12+hours

  • No disposables. We only use the NatureBaby care diapers because the other disposables cause rashes. They just aren't made to hack 12+ hours of peeing LOL The two hemps are somewhat holding her, but you can feel a lot of moisture. Problem is the two , plus the two BG are very bulky and I think are causing her issues in the middle of the night since we hear her waking up a bit now.  She also hasn't been eating that great during the day, so most of her food is consumed right before bedtime of course lol
  • Probably obvious, but are you limiting liquids before bed?  When MJ learned the sippy cup, he suddenly started leaking through diapers left and right since it was so much fun to drink! Now we give him just a few ounces of water with dinner only if he asks for the cup, and he drinks 4-5 oz of whole milk just before bed.

    We use the BG big insert and an AFFF hemp.  They work great so far... knock on wood!!  My next move would probably be to go to two of the AFFFs stuffed together and take out the BG insert.  Those things really are magic.  

     

  • I've heard the AFFF inserts mentioned above are very good.  The other thing I would recommend is looking into CDs that are specificaly made for nighttime use.  I know there are some specific ones but I can't think of them now.
  • I too am amazed that two BG inserts plus hemp doesn't do the trick, so if the AFFF insert doesn't work (never heard of those, but I'm going to check them out), then try switching to an all-hemp or all-bamboo fitted with a hemp doubler insert.  Most nights Owen can use just one of these diapers with no doubler (with a Thirsties cover), and one of these with the doubler is always more than enough.

    We have a few of the fitteds found here:

  • Thanks girls, going to try some of these out. I've got a few coupons from the great diaper change so hopefully I'll find some of these brands. Yup, it's not a build up on the diapers either, been that route.

    She does drink a 7 oz bottle before bed.She drinks 3 7oz bottles, I can't lower it since she is supposed to be getting around 24oz a day. She doesn't really drink water at dinnertime, just at breakfast and lunch mostly. 

    I'll let you know what works for the super soaker :P
