Comments on: Cloth Diaper Liners: No More Rash Overnight! http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2009/07/diaper-liners-to-get-through-the-night.html Naturally inspired living for the Christian homemaker Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:01:38 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Sarah http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2009/07/diaper-liners-to-get-through-the-night.html/comment-page-1#comment-38819 Sarah Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:24:44 +0000 http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2009/07/diaper-liners-to-get-through-the-night.html#comment-38819 I have a variety of cloth diapers I use on my son. I've used BUM Genius 2.0 and I like them for the fact that they seem to keep him drier next to his skin, but they tend to leak around his legs a little. They leaked a lot worse when he was smaller. I believe the leg opening gaps more on younger babies with the pocket all in ones. I bought my Bum Genius stash very used, and the PUL is dying. I'm actually re - sewing them into fitted diapers. I pick apart the used Bum Genius with a seam ripper, and sew two layers of flannel where the PUL used to be. I use the same microfiber insert and put a Thirsties diaper cover over it. For the comments above about nighttime and keeping the baby dry. I recommend a pocket diaper. (I use my re - sewn converted Bum Genius into a fitted pocket) and stuff it with a hemp prefold. It's a bit bulky, and my son smells in the morning because he's a heavy wetter, but I have never had a leak this way. Hemp is so absorbant, and whatever material the inner lining of the Bum Genius is keeps him so dry next to his skin. The hemp gets more and more absorbant the more times it is washed. (I wash in an all natural detergent). I have a variety of cloth diapers I use on my son.

Looking back, I know she has exema issues now. She still gets some exema between her legs (and she has been out of diapers for almost a year). We mainly use prefolds with bummis covers, but we found with her that microfleece is a good stay-dry option. I have also tried the bummis stay-dry liners that have cotton terry and then a mesh type of fabric but found they do not help. The microfleece we use inside a prefold for nights and for any time that the child is in a diaper for a while. I got mine at Parenting by nature for about $1 each. You could make your own but I found it very hard to find mircofleece where I live. Other fleece would not work the same way. Its very simple though if you did get the fabric, you just have to cut them, as it does not fray. NO sewing required. That way you can also get the width you want them to be. I also have a few Bum Genius diapers, one size ones, (3 2.0s and 3 3.0s) that were mostly gifts. Although I love them for the ease of use, I find they do not wash out as well, and I have had stink issues, even though I do everything the "right" way and use a detergent recommended etc. etc. They also show more wear than I think they should for how much they have been used. I like them more for others to change the diaper- like the very odd time Grandma does or a babysitter. Also good for being out and about. I still love my good old prefolds though and the microfleece liners work well (although not as well as the stay-dry built in fabric of the BG diaper). My first child had rashes too.

We do use the Bum Genius 3.0 with the microfleece overnight, as well, but I don't have it against his skin, it sits in the pocket... then we use the organic ones during the day... the organic ones would give him a rash at night due to the moisture... even though microfiber isn't "natural", it sure takes care of the rash!

At this point, the standard microfiber inserts (that come with Bum Genius, Fuzzi Bunz, Haute Pockets, etc.) work great for us - both day & night. When Alex was teeny, I had a couple of "loopy-do" inserts (microfiber/hemp combination) made by Knickernappy that I used for overnights because they are not at all bulky. That is an option for Donielle or for others who don't like the bulk of thicker inserts, but don't get enough absorbancy from newborn inserts. I look forward to diapering a newborn again in just 5 or 6 weeks, so we may be checking out Cloth Diaper Clearance soon! :) We mainly use Bum Genius 3.0, but we've tried a great variety of diapers in the past 18 months.

Infant size from Green Mountain Diapers has worked overnight since 4 months and continues to work now at almost 18 months. I have newborn-size prefolds that I use for the newborn stage (I didn't CD my first until around 2 or 3 months, but I'm currently in labor with #2 so I'll let you know if a few days on newborns) and also to stuff my small diapers. This has been our BEST solution, and yes, we have used microfiber. In fact we used tri-folded microfiber towels for awhile, but DH did not like the way they felt and they were not any better than our prefolds. btw if you like microfiber, you can buy 25 towels for only $10 at Walmart, Sam's Club, and Costco. They don't need any sewing either. :) I sew all my own diapers, but I've always used prefolds to stuff my diapers with no problems.

We use prefolds a lot during the day with a Thirsties cover, so for naps I fold a microterry insert inside the prefold before laying it in the cover. It works wonderfully during the long (3 hr.) mid-day nap and she never leaks! I wanted to add something to my previous comment.
