super wees...

[tangotanya]

My DD has been weeing so much lately it's not funny. She is outweeing just about every nappy I own, to the point where the inner stay dry layer is not dry at all.

I just took her nappy off to put her in the bath - pul outer, fleece inner, 9 layers of hemp and its soaked. It was dry 5 mins ago so that's one wee

She is outweeing her ittis atm even when I extra boost them

Is this a temporary thing maybe due to teething? I want my nappy stash to work like AIO's again!

ETA- not just ittis...every popular AIO I own..sorry not critiscing ittis just so sad they are by far my favourite nappy ever.

Flynn went through a stage of doing this but at night, but it settled down.

She could be just turning in that toddler wee (one big wee) instead of little one.

Means she is growing up, bugger.

oh yep, maia started monster weeing about six months ago, but unfortunately for us it's still going. I pretty much just use bamboo in our itti's now, and boost like crazy for everything else, most days we are lucky to get two hours out of any nappy. Funny thing is that she used to be a monster night wee'er, but now isn't so bad, so it has kind of flipped around....

might have to try the bamboo boosters :-)

I think monster weeing it comes with growing, Isaac (17 months) is doing the same thing but he can also hold on overnight - I don't know how he does seeing we co-sleep and he's on the boob for alot of it. But in the morning he can/will out-wee anything.

I remember when DS started weeing like that, I thought it was the end of cloth for us
it has settled a little, but I need to boost VBSN's with extra hemp booster for overnight or he will wee straight through them and a soaker
most nappies are boosted these days and I now only use fleece or fleece/PUL combos for waterproofing

Dear Tangotanya,
Welcome to the heavy wetting toddler times. Yes one wee can do that:

QUOTE: I just took her nappy off to put her in the bath - pul outer, fleece inner, 9 layers of hemp and its soaked. It was dry 5 mins ago so that's one wee

I would consider 9 layers of hemp the light nappy in our house - only for afternoons!
In the mornings we use 12 layers at the front where DD wets the most and sometimes more. To be honest, we stick to all hemp fitteds and a cover if we want a bit of time but really one big wee can outdo that. The toddler years seem to be the nappy boosting years for some kids. They seem to stay dry for sleeps so wet wet wet when awake and also seem to hold on and wee all at once which challenges any nappy.
This morning my DD was dry from first day nappy when I left the house at 9am. I changed her at 10:00, small wee (ie would soak most non hemp nappies), we were at playgroup having ridden by bike so one nappy only available until I got home (if only she had wee'd before we left!!!) and then we got home, focussed on lunch (oops), and when I changed her for her nap, hey presto, the nappy was overflowing shall we say, ie slight T-shirt dampness. What I need now is to be able to know when she has just done a wee!!! I don't think she is too far off that now, actually. (And squeeze two nappies into the back pack for bike rides to play group!!) (Oh, and remember to check her nappy more often, ooooooooh rats!)
happy nappy boosting,

we are having the same problem, unfortunately I think I'm going to have to try harder to TT
