Default Wool covers

Hi guys,

When using wool covers at night, do you put pjs over top or will the moisture wick into the pjs? I currently put DS in a t-shirt and grobag to sleep but wondering what I will do over winter.

Thanks

Lucas sleeps in a grobag with a BBB and a wool soaker with a shortsleeved or longsleeved jumpsuit with the crotch snaps - no legs at the moment. I am thinking longies and a PJ top or longies and a jumpsuit over them?? Not sure as we haven't done winter yet

We never have wicking with what he wears at the moment

If you get dampness on the pjs you may want to try adding more absorbency. In winter I prefer to use longies instead of pj pants.

We used pj pants over soakers in winter and it worked fine. Sam ios a pretty big night wetter and his pjs were always dry in the morning.

We use a wool cover with a body suit over the top and I can't recall having a problem with wicking or being wet through as long as there was enough absorbency in the nappy.
