My youngest just turned 8 months :) I couldn't imagine if she still woke up during the night - I'd go crazy! She used to wake up dry all the time but lately she's had full diapers.  It's mostly my 2 year old that I have the issues with.  I think the Rumpsacks sit too low on her.  She's a tummy sleeper so all her pee is in the front.  I'll try it on Mollie and see if it works better.  I just made a couple covers for Zoe because she does awesome at night with a prefold, gflapper and cover but the FOE was irritating her legs.  Hopefully these minky inside and out covers will be better.  Just for fun, here's Mollie sporting the new Mickey cover!

Quoting .Angelica.:

she's almost 8 months and still nurses every 2-3 hours. lol i'd love to cut back but if i tried i'd be up every couple hours with a crying baby. some mornings she actually wakes up dry. i use a pcfctrifold insert and it works well!

Quoting kameka:

Weird. Maybe fewer fluids at night?

Quoting .Angelica.:

after her waking up soaked i tried it again first thing in the morning after i got a fitted, someone mentioned they use the overnight fleece diapers over a fitted and she pees heavily in the morning so i tried it and she soaked through, not the legs but the middle of the crotch. i have a  tantrums over night. funny thing is i can stuff it with a prefold and she wears it later in the day no problem.

Quoting kameka:

I just bought a Rumpsack but dd leaked through it. I'm thinking I over stuffed, though. I'm going to try again tonight with just the recommended- hopefully that works :\



Quoting .Angelica.:

I have no clue. I looked into it and then just bought an overnight diaper already made and found they don't work for my dd anyways. LOL

Quoting kameka:

I've heard windpro or classic 300 weight. There are a ton of finishes though: Sherpa, high pile velour, etc. I still don't know what to get!

Awe cute! And yeah, my son started sleeping 12-14 hours straight through the night at 6 months. I was hoping she would be similar. She got my hopes up as a newborn when she was sleeping 5-7 hours a night without waking but now she wakes often. She doesn't really wake up just wants to nurse and passes back out in less than 40 seconds.
