Night Time Solution

I am sure by now, most of you know that we use cloth diapers.  I am so thankful for the handmedown Fuzzi Bunz we were given when Forrest was just four months old.  I don't think I would have ventured down that road otherwise.  When we knew that Elliot was on the way, we bought second hand large Fuzzi Bunz and they have served us well.  Actually, of all my chores, washing the diapers is one of my favorites.  Not entirely sure why, but it is.

But we have always had problems at night.  Both boys consistently leak through double stuffed cloth diapers at night.  So since the beginning we have use disposables at night.  And while I am starting to investigate hemp liners, we haven't taken the plunge on those yet.  They are a bit pricey.

About a year ago, Forrest started to leak through the disposable diapers.  I hate knowing they are sleeping in soaking wet jammies.  So awful!  And the extra laundry was a real pain too.  I really don't think that kid goes potty unless he is in his crib.  That's going to be fanatic for potty training, if we ever get around to that!  But that is an entirely different topic for an entriely different post.  Anyway. 

My mom, being the mom genius that she is, suggested using depends as a diaper liner.  And what do you know, no leaks!  She even managed to score 200 of them on craigslist for just $20.  We are now using them with both boys, and until I figure out a good cloth alternative, that's what we'll be doing.

And there you have it.  A post about using pee pads to increase diaper absorbency.  But I figured, hey, if I needed to know it, there just might be someone else out there in need of this information too.  Consider yourselves informed.
