Last night was the first night we tried using a cloth diaper all night long. The only thing that had been holding me back had been the fact that most of our diapers have really slack leg gussets and the poop escapes sometimes (I'm working on fixing that, though). We ran out of disposables yesterday morning when B had his huge blowout, so I figured we'd just save one of the good diapers for nighttime. So I stuffed a flat fold in with his insert in his BumGenius diaper for some extra absorbency, as he is a heavy wetter at night.
No leaks at all! I am proud to say I am on board with cloth all the way! I was so pleased when I changed him this morning and didn't have to pull off his clothes because of a leak - not even a pee leak! More importantly, not even a poo leak!
Yay for cloth! I can do it!
How are you really?
