YIKES! Prefolds at night?

What do you recommend for night time diapering with prefolds?

With our toddler, who has more poos, we simply trifold the prefold with an insert (either mircofiber insert, like BumGenius, or a Babykicks Doubler) laid on top. To help with sensitive skin, we lay a fleece liner on top.

When my son was a newborn I just used one prefold in a cover and we were all set, but obviously as baby grows the amount of pee they produce increases. Adding a hemp insert into the middle of the prefold helps with that. If you have a baby that doesn’t like to be wet at night try adding a fleece layer over top of the prefold to provide them with that nice stay dry feeling.

For us, we simply take a prefold with a BabyKicks Hemp doubler, tri-fold the prefold around the doubler and top it off with a microfleece liner (as our guy has super sensitive skin. The microfleece helps to wick away the moisture). We finish it off by laying the whole deal in a PUL cover. See the step-by-step pictures below!

The BabyKicks on the left and a Large DiaperRite prefold on the right

The BabyKicks is placed in the center of the prefold (the extra center panel runs left to right, as opposed to top to bottom - it fits in the cover better this way).

Then I fold over one side...

Then the other, making a sandwich.

I place a microfleece liner on top to wick away the moisture quickly (Benjamin is typically in this diaper for 12-13 hours) ((I don't know WHAT brand the MF liner is. A friend was clearing out her stash of cloth diapers and gave those to me. She didn't know either.))

I lay the whole combo in a cover (pictured here with a Bummis Super Snap Wrap)

Fold it up and it is ready to go!
