Okay...lesson learnt!

SO I've been panicking about our trip to Japan at the end of the month...we're taking along Mary who'll be 5mths and even though I've been using, loving, making and sometimes selling MCNs for over 3 years I actually considered using single use nappies for our trip I bought a small pack yesterday to try them out on her and though that our biggest challenge would be o/night as she feds quite often.
Well this morning she woke up at about 5:30 and was playing around next to me, she had rolled over and we heard a most familiar sound......her nappies are completely runny and massive (to do with her tummy troubles) and I looked over and saw that her single use nappy hadn't contained even half of it, it was all up her back and out the side Impressive considering she was on her tummy at the time ERGH!
I don't know what I was thinking considering this....duh!
So we're doing cloth I think I'll be right, PUL pockets and quick drying inserts. We're only staying in the one hotel and when I called them they told me they have a laundry service but I think I'll see if I can find a coin operated laundry close by, I'm sure there will be one
I'm not sure about night time though, all my regular night nappies are bamboo or very thick hemp and don't dry too quickly at all. Hmmmm...any ideas?

can you try a fleece pocket at night?

Bettlebum fleece pocket I love them

Not to sure how you will go getting one maybe BEG Mel

Hmm... I've tried a KK and that's a fleece outer, but it's more of an AIO. It worked pretty good but by morning she was a little damp, it's better for her day sleeps.
I used fleece pockets o/night on the girls for ages and never had problems but they weren't having 3 or 4 feeds o/night.
I haven't seen a Bettlebums irl, I've heard fabulous things about them though....there are only on ozebaby right?
I just love the o/night ones we have atm but they do take a while to dry, which for here in the sunshine is fine but when travelling I might not have that option.
I think I'll go foraging around my sewing box and see what I can come up with.

Oh thanks for that reminder Suzanne! I'd nearly forgotten what those runny poos do to a sposie.....

I agree on the fleece pockets.... have you tried Bek's Pookey Pockets in fleece? They are my camping staple for Liam.. and this year I'm taking some bamboo flats to stuff them so they'll dry pretty fast!

MM fleece pocket with a bamboo flat I'm sure you've got both of those farbics laying around Suzanne!

I made hemp pockets to do o/n on our last trip (just 2 layers of hemp and stuffed with a bamboo fold-up), and they dried nice & quickly. Then use whatever kind of cover you like
If the hotel room has a bath you can always wash in there, that's what I did on our first trip away because there were no laundromats nearby and the hotel laundry service was EXPENSIVE.
