Default Something trim for night

DD (2yrs7months) is now liking cloth nappies. She refused to wear them previously but now DS (1yr) is always wearing cloth, she wants to. So I need more nappies.

She hates bulky nappies, wont wear greenkids, or BBH, she likes cuddlebuns, but have never tried with a cover.

The last couple of nights slept in sb ov pocket with no leaks but I do worry about leakage around the leg, pockets can tend to leak around the leg when really full. I need to find a night combo for her that is not bulky.

What can I try with her for night time, I want something unisex as she should be tt in the next few months or so. She keeps begging for everything pink LOL... but I dont think she will get much wear out of them and DS will be using them soon.

I have ordered a few more BBB, I thought if I just bought a pink wool cover I could use that.

Any suggestions?

Maybe try a sandman or VBSN with a pink soaker or shorties, or a fleece cover.
I like Keester covers, they aren't bulky at all and I've never had a leak with them
Not sure what colours you can get in those.

Missy Moo pockets are great, but you don't want pockets.. but I know you can get those in girly colours.

Look if the SB OV pockets work why not stick to that. If she would let you, you could always get a wool soaker over the top just to catch any leaks.

Even if she becomes day TT night TT could be a while off so you need something that will last the distance for her.

Pink BBB will always resell so if she is happy in that then go for it . Pull ups are expensive and you could be buying them for a long time.

Kester Kovers are lovely and trim and great for night; I find the BBBs good for night. so if she likes them that would be a great option as I think they're one of the trimmest night nappy options around.

Loveybums wool covers are superbly trim and so soft; we often use one overnight under PJ pants instead of a soaker. I got mine from Vanessa at Cute Tooshies and love it to bits

I have been using a dream ezy velour nappy that I got from nurture nappies for a while now. It is really trim, I don't think it would suit a massive wetter, I boost with a couple of bamboo mini boosters which does the trick for us, but Maia mostly wakes up dry now, then does a giant pee first thing - it catches that fine though.

If you're happy with the swaddlebees though, why not boost them and use some woolies or fleece pants over the top just in case of leaks?

i think BBB will go great, tonnes of people use them for night... is she a very heavy night wetter?

what about a hemp pocket so you can customise how much goes in it? Bits for Bots sweet dreams hemp pockets are very popular with a wool cover or soaker (or longies in winter).

I can't go past VBSN for nights, but Isabel is a big wetter even though she doesn't feed at night any more. They are very bulky and may not suit your DD though.

BBB are probably a good idea and if you need it, you could put a microfibre cloth in between the nappy and the wool.

What about something like a Tango Nappy.
I'm sure Tanya would make you up one with pink on one side and blue on the other as the covers are reversible. That way you could get heaps of use out of it for DD and DS and you wouldn't have to worry about reselling pink nappies.
They are also very easy to boost and funky enough for a fashion conscious tot!
