I guess the only thing to do to see if this will work is to try it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/part-time-cloth-diapering-help-please#post-1082384 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:00:25 +0000 Silva 1082384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I only know anything about prefolds. At night we use a prefold + a thirsties hemp doubler + wool cover. I bet you could use the microfiber inserts + a prefold at night?<br /> Our LO only pees at night, too, and our system works well- the extra layer (the doubler) helps- everything is wet in the morning, but she usually feels pretty dry and doesn't get rashes.<br /> Give it a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/part-time-cloth-diapering-help-please#post-1082354 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 11:50:33 +0000 mrsjazz 1082354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone use cloth diapers part-time?</p> <p>LO is 16 months and we have used disposables for all of her life. Prior to her birth I wanted to use cloth diapers and bought some on sale, this is when we had hoped to move to an apartment with a washer/dryer but that didn't pan out. We do live in a building that has a laundry room.</p> <p>The cloth diapers have been collecting dust. I am thinking about trying to use them just when she's at home, so in the evenings and on the weekends and continuing disposables at childcare because it's the easiest thing (our nanny share family uses cloth sometimes and our nanny really hates them so they stopped).</p> <p>So basically LO would be in a cloth diaper for overnight and then on the weekends. Since I have no actual experience using cloth yet, I'm wondering if what I have will work for overnight. I don't want to buy anything new! Please let me know if you think any of these will work for overnight. LO normally just pees overnight. She's normally awake when she takes her morning poop, I think I can catch her before she goes in the diaper.</p> <p>This is what I have: </p> <p>-A blueberry minky that comes with two microfiber inserts: one small and one that is large and can be doubled over.<br /> -2 econobum diaper covers with 6 cotton prefolds<br /> -2 flip covers with 6 flip inserts</p> <p>Do you think any of this will work for overnight? </p>
