Cute Tooshies BD as night nappy?

[jimmysmummy]

Hi girls.

I have been using Bum Genius one-size nappies on my 6m.o. son as night nappies for about 3 months. He used to sleep through from 7pm-6am with the boosters (regular BG booster plus the thinner one that comes with the 3.0) not soaked through in the morning. Now, he wakes up at 4am every morning, and when I change him, the inserts are saturated all over. Obviously, he's weeing a lot more!

Before I invest in a night nappy, has anyone had success with Cute Tooshies Bamboo Delights as a night nappy? I have ordered a Baby Beehinds wool cover, and I have a Baby Beehinds bamboo fold-up booster that I can add if I need to. Would it be better to add this between the nappy and the cover???

whatever night nappy you use, because night nappies have DOUBLE the amount of absorbency laeyrs that DAY nappies have, you need to allow for this with your cover.

Knowing the RISE of your baby, whilst wearing the night nappy, will help you buy the right sized night cover. (which can easily be the next size up from what they wear in the day).

We use the Cute Tooshies bamboo delights as a day nappy and it's excellent, haven't tried it as a night naPPY.

to measure rise:

get a tape measure
start measuring from bub's navel
go under their legs and back the other side, up to the small of the back
(approx level with where navle is on the other side)
that's their rise


i meausure the rise on baby NAKED to help me buy the right sized nappy
i measure the rise on baby, wearing her night nappy, to help me buy the right sized nappy cover.

every bub is different, but i would guess that the CTBD might be a night nappy for bubs from nb to a few months old. just a guess on my part.


but because wool soaks up liequid (which PUL doesn't ) you will get longer out of wool

malden mills fleece covers / soakers are also a great night option (quick dry too)

I can still use a boosted BD on Zoe overnight
Bamboo Delight
Bamboo Booster (usually a double layer trifold) (between nappy and cover)
Wool Cover

So yes - just what you have suggested!
Give it a go

My other trick was to use the BD with a honeyboy outer over the top. If you have a honeyboy its worth a try I found this to be a quick and trim solution.

I use BD with a peapods bamboo booster in between the BD booster and BD topper with longies on Ash overnight with great success. Love them!!
We also use BBB with longies for overnight but he needs one change at about 3am so with the right boosting they might work too?

i have had better luck with a Baby Beehind as they are higher in the rise, and also BBH wool covers are not that high in the rise, you might need to go up a size.

We have used Ct boosted at night on our 8mo, but it is getting smallish. We boost on the outside of it, but use them more for the daytime.

Just thought you might like to know...
We have been using our CTBD with a Baby Beehinds wool cover and bamboo booster for about 2 weeks now and have not had any problems whatsoever.

When I used bumgenius, I had to change James when he woke at 4am....now I can just grab him out of his cot, feed him, put him back in his cot (or leave him with us if I feel like it) and not change him until around 7am. That's 12 hours, and I'm sure he could even go a bit longer.

Yay!!! The great part is, my CTBD were seconds, and only cost me $12.95 each. A lot better than $40+ for a night nappy!

and this is why I love the bamboo delight they're great!!

i use BG OS with the one size insert and 2 newborn ones and last from bout 830 at night till 8 in the morning.. on my 18mth old.... not too bulky either.. maybe try another insert.. im gunna however try CT on my son when he comes.. and starts need night ones...

we used them as night nappies on Lilli for a while too.
then came a point where she was peeing like a horse!!
so I put a BBB on her with the BD over the top and walaha! new night nappy.

shes a bit too old for that now, but for a while it worked.
