Nightime changes on NBs

[AtoZMomma]

Does anyone have a good system for nighttime? I'm new to CD (and already obsessed) but don't want to spend *too* much moeny trying everything.

Use already stuffed pockets or AIO's or AI2's so that theres no fumbling around and waking baby fully to do the changes. Prefolds in the dark to a noob can be quite difficult so I think this method would be best!

I am going to use something like a FB for night so they won't feel wet and put a MT insert with a hemp insert under it...I hope it last all night long. I will change if he wets through.

A FB with an infant prefold lasted us all night once DD2 turned about 6 weeks, she started sleeping through the night a week later, but we mostly did pockets at night those first months.

I used anything at night, pockets, fitteds, prefolds... :giggle: Honestly the cheapest way to go is prefolds (I recommend GMD orange edge PFs) trifolded into a Thirsties cover. Its crazy how fast they outgrow NB dipes. I had XS FBs, XS Thirsties AIOs that I saved for night time and going out. But Evie outgrew them pretty fast. At least with the prefolds you can use them as doublers in your pockets when baby outgrows them. HTH!

I figure I'm goinf to use velcro fitteds so that I don't have to think about snaps at night with no light or very little light. then probably a velcro wrap for the same reasons. I'm sure that'll work.

Thanks for all the good feedback!

At night for the first few weeks, we'll do either PF or fitteds with a cover. Once DD is sleeping longer stretches, and doesn't need to be changed, we'll switch to a pocket stuffed with a hemp and MT insert.

I'm not big on pocket diapers in general, so I primarily use fitteds or obv prefolds with extra doublers at night. My aristocrat and lana soakers are absolute staples for me for covers along with a royal buns soaker that is still a bit big for day diapers. I am actually doing the *extreme* old school challenge abd doing only prefolds at night.

My current foster child is a major super soaker, but we're finally getting to a system where I can change just once a night. I keep a fairly bright nightlight in the changing area so no need to turn on lights or change in the dark.
