Best modern cloth nappy for your heavy wetter

Do you have a heavy wetting baby? Do you need a super absorbent modern cloth nappy solution?

Our nappies are designed to be very absorbent. They should get you 3+ hours through the day time before needing to be changed.

If you find your child is leaking out of the normal cloth nappy (without additional boosting to what is provided on purchase of a single nappy) you may need to consider your boosting options.

My first question however is always - Is the Nappy full? The nappy should feel heavy and the inserts be visibly wet. If this isn't the case you need to address reasons why the nappy is not absorbing all the wetness before leaking. We have not dealt with that in this post.

Boosting

First Recommendation:
We have two boosting options at Baby Bare. Our trifold booster, and our invisible booster. Both are heavy weight bamboo fleece and are quite similar in absorbency. My favourite option is the invisible booster. It is trim, and it allows you to custom more absorbency where you need it most. This booster is 50cm long, so it can be folded in a way to put more padding in the front to absorb more liquid.

If you know your child is heavy wetter, I also recommend PUL covers. PUL is less likely to wick on a soaked nappy. Minky works really well at this too, but PUL is just that bit more effective which is important if you have a big wetter on your hands. Our Silky Bare range is the perfect solution for super heavy wetters. With PUL outer, 2 full bamboo inserts included and a pocket for extra boosting, they offer plenty of absorbency.

Second Recommendation:
Try a Trifold booster. You could try this in addition to an invisible if your child is out wetting everything you try. To use both you would really need to be using our All in two cloth nappies, as this allows boosting in the pocket. Access to the lining of the nappy allows more boosting as there is more space to utilise.

You can use our Baby Bare boosters in any nappies. They are a great way to boost the absorbency of any nappy. The invisible booster fits really well in any nappy, even and all in one. The trifold gives great absorbency in pocket nappies - for a great result, team one of our bamboo boosters with microfibre inserts (which work best in combination with bamboo).
