I cloth during the day exclusively now, but we did cloth at night when she was younger. My toddler pees out of every cloth diaper overnight because she is such a heavy wetter.

Ya we use BG 4.0s at night. BG Elementals during the day

She's potty trained now, but we used BG 4.0s with hemp inserts at night. We never had a problem as long a we used the hemp. She would leak out of the microfiber.

We used to cloth full time from about 10 weeks until 14 months... I tried adding an extra hemp insert to our freetimes at night but gave up and now we use huggies overnights with no leaks

I will not with my second child. Anything to change fewer diapers overnight.

I was set on it and once I became quit overnight cloth it was so freeing! I finally felt like I didnt have to change him overnight. Now he has a big old disposable to toss every morning, so happy to have that pee in the diaper and not on me or on the bed! Before I was using pocket diapers and trying to load em up, and then I started using one newborn one regular prefold with a fleece liner. It just wasn't working for me. And I couldn't stand the pockets! Now they are all in the closet and I just use cloth all day.

At 7 months, her pee volume was just wayyyy too much for overnight in cloth. When I'd wake her, her diapers were reeking of ammonia. Yuck!! Plus, our LO really struggled with leaking and waking up, and I was just too tired. Disposables at night, all the way.

I tried a few cloth combinations (bumgenius freetime with a hemp insert, prefolds and hemp inserts) but LO still leaked through so we switched to disposables overnight. She insists on chugging water before bed, as well as if she wakes up in the night.

I use the sustainablebabyish overnight fitted with a cover for nighttime and they work great for us. I use a fleece liner to wick away moisture and I've rarely had leaks. They're pretty expensive, but I like them a lot better than disposables.

We went through a period of about a month where she was leaking every night, but were able to find something that worked for us. We use AIOs and refolds during the day. At night we exclusively use prefolds. What ended up working for us is to fold a smaller prefold into the larger one instead of using a doubler. Doublers never seemed to do it for us, but this works great.

We have tried several different types overnight. Both my girls are heavy wetters!

We have used cloth 100% of the time other than a few trips where packing the diapers was a pain in the butt (short flights for a weekend trip, for example). For nights, we use Kawaii goodnight heavy wetter with an added hemp or bamboo insert, plus wool covers over it. I highly HIGHLY recommend trying wool covers if your baby leaks. They are super easy to use once you have them prepped (and doing so is not hard) and are bulletproof. We have had zero leaks since we started using wool at night over the diaper.

We use cloth all the time. A combo of bumgenius 4.0 and prefolds. Currently our night time plan in a prefold with a micro fiber doubler and I often change him at night which doesn't help much because I think all the peeing happens in the very early am. We change the sheets allot...

We do not at night. At first it was because we didn't have enough to do at night. Then it was because I'd heard kids don't sleep as well with them since they can feel wetness/you can have more leaks and it seemed like everyone has to figure out what system of doublers or whatever works for them. We had always planned that once LO was reliably STTN we'd monkey around with various diaper options... but she still isn't at 14 mo and we just don't want to rock the sleeping boat when diapers are the least dramatic part of our nighttime routine.
