Hi Sarah, how old is your baby girl and how much does she weigh? I'm trying to figure this leaking thing out and want to fix it. What setting on Bumbeetles do you use?

She's 3 months old today and 5.5kg. We could only start using the Bumbeetles about a month ago and on their smallest setting.

Last night I used a folded muslin square (boy fold / origami fold) with a folded muslin as a booster and a Stegi waterproof. No leaks! It lasted 6pm - 6am

I think the folded squares will be my preferred night nappy.

I use the Bumbeetles mainly when we are out - I only have 4 - because they are the quickest to put on and they look cute

We've been using cloth since birth and just dealing with the leaks. They're not bad leaks...usually poo's end up inside the w/p and sometimes her clothes get damp from evaporation but it doesn't bother her and its a small price to pay especially since everything usually dries so quickly during the day.

I use the traditional MN nappy with a booster through the night and have been doing so since 12 weeks, I have also found that my cherub tree leak at night, - I really think that the no absorbancy at the sides is an issue. Maybe try some terry squares?

I had huge issues with pampers when we were in the uk and leaking (even after 1 hour), The cherub tree are great when you are changing more frequently during the day and I've never had a problem with them then!

I only wash my nappies on cold because the Bumbeetles loose their 'waterproofness' if washed too hot. My little girl sleeps from 7 - 4:30 usually so I'm loathe to wake her. She's been in disposables at night till now. Our nappies leak at the thighs...cloth or disposable.

I'd also love to hear everyone's opinion of night time nappy.
My son is 9 months old and weighs 9,5kg. I changed to cloth at 6 months.

I have Cherub Tree, Bumbeetles and Bam+Boo nappies. I use Cherub Tree predominantly. I have used CT and BBeetles at night but I do change my LO at his early morning feed (1am / 2am).
Lately the nappies leaked by his hips?! It never used to leak. So I've stripped the nappies (washed at 60°C without detergent and rinsed with baking soda) and sommer washed it again at 60°C no detergent.

Now I'm petrified of using them at night as it was such a mission with a wet baby and wet pajamas that needed to be changed. I'm slightly sleep deprived currently :-\ so anything for an extra hour's sleep!

I really want to use cloth nappies at night. For the last two nights I've been using disposables (oh the shame!)

At some stage I must be able to use one cloth nappy per night.

Love to hear everyone's view on this.

Happy New Year by the way

P.S. I only washed inserts at 60° not the outers.

Best night-time nappy? I have BM, Stegi, Bumbeetles and terry squares. Which do you think would be best at night? I'm using 2 muslin squares tonight - everything else got caught in the rain - with a Stegi w/p. 1st night in cloth so I'm putting a towe by her bum just in case!

I'm thinking Bumbeetles with an additional booster?

2KM - I got my hearts and moo print nappies. They are just TOO GORGEOUS!! Thanks a lot. I can't wait to put them to use!!

Hope everyone had a really happy christmas and I wish you all an awesome new year.
