Adventures in Pee!

My son is the ultimate heavy wetter- someone once described a certain hemp diaper as bulletproof and my son peed through it in less then 2 hours.

So we are constantly searching for new brands, new diapers, and new inserts. The only system I have found that works with him is a microfiber/hemp combo - so we go back and forth from Loopydo's which work GREAT by themselves during the day and both a microfiber and a hemp insert at night. The Stuffin is my next insert to try- I hadn't heard much so I didn't try them in my original shopping spree but after a few recomendations I want to try them. I truly love the diversity of Pocket diapers but I am so tired of trying things... I just want it to work.

I think I am a fitted/cover girl at heart - my kushies (the first diaper I ever bought) are an old faithful on the weekends when daddy doesn't do diaper duty- as he's at work!

A heavy loopdo will be what he needs and I can't wait to see one... Its the perfect insert in a lot of ways.

My son doesn't have big stools yet as most of his intake is breast milk but every so often he has a nasty one and its got me on the fence about the sprayer? Any insight ? Is it worth it?

Right now I have been just spraying them off in my laundry tub after I shook out the nasties- and its worked pretty good.... I bought some paper liners but haven't used them yet-

I can't wait until I get our Bioliners from Bummis In stock to try! They are supposed to be softer.

No need for a sprayer until your child starts solids. Even then- you can live without it. Even a bad breast fed poo will wash out. There is a bad time, right when they start solids- we call it the "Peanut Butter poo" stage. I have been told a sprayer does not work well for that consistency, when you need it most. A spatula works best. After they eat a more solid diet, the poo firms up and you can simply shake your diaper out. :)
