Diapering

I'm starting cloth diapers with my 13 month old and so far I have 12 BG 3.0's to try out. My question is, how should I stuff them for bedtime? Do I use one of the bigger inserts and one newborn one, or two big ones? Or should I buy some other inserts as well?

My DD is a heavy wetter at night, she usually won't leak through Pampers size 4's, but she sleeps from 7pm to 7:30 or 8 am, so I want something that's not going to leak.

Thanks!

Thank you to Elena for the lovely siggie!

I have found that the regular BG one size insert along with a hemp insert is a good combo for us at night. I have not tried any other combo with my pockets yet.

Good to see another Sept Mama on here....

Just try and see what works best!  For my 23-month-old (who pees a lot) I definitely have to use 2 inserts, usually two large ones or one large BG insert plus one prefold (which really works well as there's so much absorbency in there!).  I don't own any hemp unfortunately.

You can try lots of different things:

1. We use 1 Joeybunz large hemp + 1 BG regular insert - never had a leak with this. If you do this, put the hemp UNDER the microfiber in the pocket. The microfiber should be closer to the baby because it absorbs liquid faster.

2. Sometimes 1 prefold + 1 BG regular insert - good but very puffy

3. 2 regular BG inserts (only in a pinch) - we don't have extra inserts, so we don't do this often

During the day he needs both BG inserts to get through 2 hours. You
