Hi! What CD are you currently using for nights?

My boy is a heavy wetter too coz he nurses thru the night. I have used Happy Heiny's One Size, FuzziBunz Medium, with 1 microfibre insert and 1 Papoose hemp insert, or 1 microfibre insert and 1 organic cotton Flip prefold. If I use my Flip diaper cover, I put a stay-dry doubler on top of the organic cotton prefold, and sometimes another hemp layer at the bottom. Hemp inserts are really good at holding fluids, but will need a microfleece liner to wick moisture away from baby's skin.

so far i'm really happy with the above brands coz they have never leaked. But i have always stuffed the diapers to the max and poor baby has a donald duck bum for nights!
Mummy to Baby Very will have more suggestions, and you can visit her blog for lots of great info on CD-ing!:tlaugh:

oh, that's great! you will not regret trying it out! it's actually much easier than i thought it would be, especially the laundry part. and i do love how cute they are, and of course, how much healthier they are for baby and the environment!:Dancing_tongue:

Oh you are a lucky Mummy! :)
We used Drybees Fleece Pocket with double inserts from 2-9 months old. Review at Review: Drybees Fleece Pocket Diapers |

From 9 months to now (17 months), we have been using Happy Hempys and GAD Hemp Pocket Fitted with microfibre & hemp inserts and fleece shorts. Reviews not posted yet. If you need more info, contact me here: Contact |

I read before that Dynamo is not suitable for cloth diapers. Ok to use:
Review: Pureen H-A-D Liquid Detergent | Mummy's Reviewsâ„¢
TOP (choose the type with no enzyme/softener if possible, use 1/4-1/2 recommended amt)

Enzymes are NOT for cloth diapers because they will react with urine and attack baby's skin, causing bad rashes.

Softener will coat diapers and cause repellent of urine (leaking diapers).

Bleach will damage the cloth diaper fabric more easily.

It is hard to find Pureen HAD in KL too. Pureen is a Malaysian brand, HAD made in the Unifed States. The company did not reply my online enquiry on the production. *Disappointed*

TOP is quite safe because my friend who sells and manufactures cloth diapers uses it.

I just bought another brand to try. Will recommend only if it works well.

TOP - is it the liquid detergent that states for White clothings, as it also comes for Colour or Anti-bacterial ones?

Here are what's in my stash

Plus misc inserts and no-brand flats

There are 2 brand new pink Fuzzibunz and Happy Heinys that I haven't gotten around to "need" yet.
