I have a son with sensitive skin who wears a layer of wool under his clothes for most of the winter, and it doesn't seem to bother him at all. I liked the disana covers that snap, I found I could get a nice fit over our prefold + hemp doubler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2797022 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 09:28:47 +0000 TGNbaby 2797022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're still interested in info about using wool as a diapering option, I wrote this blog post for work. I LOVE using wool - even on my most sensitive-skinned baby, Sloomb 100% merino wool has never caused any irritation - only dry sheets in the morning :) </p> <p><a href="https://thegreennursery.com/tgnblog/whywool/" rel="nofollow">https://thegreennursery.com/tgnblog/whywool/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718872 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 17:15:25 +0000 maddyz 2718872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried a million things, all different combos of inserts, fitted, wool and more and we just ended up wet all the time.</p> <p>I wish i had skipped buying so many different things and gone right to overnight disposables. It's just one a night... do it.... it's so worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718726 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 09:20:11 +0000 sauerkraut 2718726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thirsties hemp insert + regular prefold + fleece liner (not necessary but think she feels drier/more comfortable), all under a regular diaper cover (I use Flips) has been working really well for me overnight. Sorry I don't have any input on wool, but thought this might be helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718717 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 09:07:01 +0000 jennlin821 2718717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many things I didn't think about!</p> <p>DD does have very sensitive skin - I hadn't considered that wool is itchy and aggravating!<br /> I am going to try the GMD fitted with a PUL cover for now, and get some heavy duty inserts. </p> <p>We have a few Grovia AI2s, which I didn't like originally, but now that she's bigger I may try them again. </p> <p>Thanks everyone for you input! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718363 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 11:37:36 +0000 PawPrints 2718363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My research on this turned up a ton of people recommending overnight bamboo fitteds (OBFs). We never ended up buying any since we had success with hemp inserts, but you might try those. (Also - I recommend Thirsties hemp inserts.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718142 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 07:33:38 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2718142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this problem and my girl HATED fitteds, so wool didn't work for us. </p> <p>What did work was a Grovia One diaper. That thing held sooo much. Also, a RAR with a bamboo 6r soaker (both pieces). We never had leaks with either of those. She leaked through disposables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718081 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 20:11:13 +0000 skipra 2718081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Figuring out how to cd overnight was just too much for me. Disposables for overnight worked much better. I also couldn't imagine sleeping in wool. So itchy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718073 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 19:51:27 +0000 Pollywog 2718073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What has worked for everyone I know is doing a fitted diaper (I like GMD workhorse) with a hemp insert (thirties is the best), and then either a PUL or wool cover. Most people can get by with a PUL. We use thirties duo. My friend who uses wool puts her daughter in a T shirt and sleep sack or the long version of wool covers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718014 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:46:20 +0000 LindsayLou 2718014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to try wool for overnight, but wool makes me itchy, and sadly my daughter has the same issue. Fitteds with covers we already had were the answer for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718011 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:20:29 +0000 youboots 2718011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We cloth diaper most of the time and use disposables night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wool-4-mo-old-heavy-wetter#post-2718010 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:13:49 +0000 jennlin821 2718010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have experience with wool? My DD will be 4 mo old, and she is soaking through overnight. She's starting to sleep through the night, and I don't want to wake her for changes when we feed. We currently use Charlie Bananas, which are great during the day; but even double stuffing isn't helping. She leaks up the back, so I think it may be a flooding problem.<br /> I don't want to try a bunch of different things, my research says that wool is best for the night. </p> <p>So can anyone give me input?<br /> Also, if I'm not supposed to cover the wool, what would she wear for pajamas, and a swaddle? </p>
