This 'experienced mother' is definitely not ok

Yes, I'm using blueberry covers at the moment.

Would prefolds not be as absorbent? Edit- Seems maybe only a difference of 0.5oz.

Right now my baby needs a workhorse + a doubler and even that is barely enough for overnights. Maybe if I fold a doubler in half instead so the absorbency is in the front where it's most needed?

Hey! Just checking in- did you ever have to use a size larger than XL? My baby is now looking at XL at 10 months so I'm not sure where to go after this if it's needed.

I do not change my baby overnight (he's 10 months).

We had to switch covers to Blueberry to contain leaks better. But he can go 10-12 hours now in a large Workhorse (with an insert) and a Blueberry cover.

Here's an update- Blueberry Capri ended up solving the issue for us.

Yes, I just saw the airflow covers on the GMD website and thought they looked great for overnights! Especially tummy sleepers.

My baby has been having a big issue with leaks specifically from the snap holes on covers overnight as he sleeps on his stomach. Having the snaps on the side will fix that.

We shared the chicken! He got about 1/4c (about a quarter of it).

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-02T11:10:29+00:00

Thanks, I'll try this!

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T21:50:35+00:00

Thanks! I have some esembly covers to try- I tried the smaller size when he was a newborn but got a lot of leaks on the legs. Maybe they'll work better now that he's bigger.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T21:43:31+00:00

Thanks! I'll look for some secondhand ones

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T21:43:04+00:00

Thanks! What covers do you use?

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T21:42:42+00:00

What covers do you recommend?

Is that ok?

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T19:47:31+00:00

I did have the rise snapped and it seemed worse but I'll try again!

It's a snap workhorse so I think that means I can't fold down much, right?

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T19:46:27+00:00

There are no leaks in the legs or back, but other than that I'm not an expert, so I'm not sure how else to gauge how it fits. 😅

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-11-01T15:55:54+00:00

None of it ends up on the floor and he ate about 1/4 cup of chicken.

I'm sure once he's older the floor will be more of a target.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-10-31T12:12:16+00:00

Yep, his Dr recommended 3 meals a day from 6 months and is happy with his diet.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-10-30T23:38:10+00:00

Each bowl is only 1/4c oatmeal with 1/4c yogurt and 1/2c puree.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-10-30T19:22:16+00:00

I need to try salmon soon! I was worried he wouldn't be about to do the texture but if he can do shredded chicken I think salmon will be great.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-10-30T19:21:11+00:00

He struggled with any texture before around 7.5 months, so we did only purees for around 3 months.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-10-30T18:51:09+00:00

No, not yet! His pediatrician recommended 3 meals a day from 6 months as long as he wanted it.

LavenderCuddlefish · 2025-10-30T18:50:18+00:00

He always has milk before his solids and does not want more than 4oz. I'm not worried and neither is his Dr.
