Ok, so G has me stumped. This kid generally doesn't pee overnight. But then mornings are like Niagra Falls around here.
The kiddos get 6 oz of milk before bed and then 6 oz of milk when they wake up.
We do sposies at night and I'm half tempted to just put him in cloth overnight since he rarely pees much and then do a sposie first thing in the morning. But in an attempt to find a cloth solution, what would you suggest? We use 99% pockets stuffed with prefolds or muslin flats. He'll overflow a medium prefold in about 30 min. I'm tired of getting him dressed only for him to outpee his clothes before we even leave the house or right after he arrives at the sitter's. I know hemp holds a lot, but isn't it a slow absorber? I'd be concerned with how much liquid he's expelling and how quickly.
Halp!

If you're already using sposies at night, I would totally just switch and use maybe a double stuffed pocket at night and then put a sposie on him first thing in the morning.

That's probably what I should do. I think I was holding out so that they'd both be in the "same kind" of diaper at bed/morning since my brain can't handle remembering new things, but that's kind of silly.

Put a cover on the disposable. Or size up.

I found a bamboo flat in a pocket to be bulletproof. How old is he? Is he in one size (in my head your babies are newborns, but in my head everyone's babies are newborns...) I have some to destash- pm me if you want me to send you a few.

I usually wrap a bamboo flat around a small hemp insert if I need maximum pee capacity. That holds a lot of pee without a ton of bulk.

I was shocked at how trim and absorbent hemp is. Lately, our fist diaper of the morning is a best bottoms with a hemp insert.

I have a few bamboo inserts from my Kawaii pockets, and they do seem to absorb quite a bit.
