Default night nappy AIO for a 5 week old.

My 5 week old now goes through the night without pooing

I've tried a sposie on her but she drenches it by mid morning.

I'm wanting to know if people have used a keesterkover or a zada on a 4kg baby.

I hate fitteds and covers so please don't recommend these!

I am sorry but I am going to recommend them anyway You could try a fitted with fleece pants over the top (flongies) if you despise covers.

It is fairly hard to find an AIO night nappy for heavy wetters. By the sounds of things you may need the extra absorbency that a fitted provides by having full body layers of hemp/bamboo/cotton.

if she's still waking through the night, I'd still change her at each feed, regardless of whether she's dirtying her nappy. If you're specifically looking for something as she is a heavy wetter, maybe try a MM windpro pocket stuffed with bamboo.

my babies pooed in the night for a few months before we both slept through the feeds

I don't use AIOs so can't recommend any but will say that fitteds will offer you better absorbency as they have more surface area of fabric .

I have had success going from 11pm to 5-6am with bamboo baby behinds, boosted with a couple of mini boosters I made and with longies over the top.

I find that I am so tired and it is so cold that at the 2-3amish feed I just want to roll over and cuddle back under the blankets. We use a big liner and have had no dramas with this combo.

I was the same with Malakai, was too cold and too tired to worry about changing if I didn't have to. And, Kai got so disctressed about being changed when he was little I wanted to avoid it if I could. We also used BBB's but used a PUL cover as we had compression leaks with wool and hadn't heard of fleece.

Just re-reading my post and technically an AIO could have the same layers ....but I guess would take longer to dry.

We get rashes with PUL atm so have been using wool...12ply for nights, 8ply for day.

I don't have any fleece covers for a 6kg bub atm but will be buying one to try soon.

When Ari was younger I once put her down in a swaddlebees AIO with 2 hemp boosters and she woke up without leaks in the morning. I think cuddles in cloth do AIO night nappies or maybe try a cotton babies stay dry booster on top of an AIO you already have?
