When I started with cloth nappies 8 years ago when Miss Sunshine
was a couple of weeks old, I remember wishing South Africa had the wide
range of WAHM (work at home mom) brands that the US had.
Well
the cloth community in SA has grown hugely since then and now we do
have some awesome brands available locally! One of my favourite brands
is Poopsy Daisy.
Not
only is she a mamma after my own heart but her products at Poopsy Daisy
are of excellent quality and workmanship. The fleece night nappy we
received was our work horse in our stash and always reliable as a night
time option.
Sweetpea fed at least twice at night and went through stages were her output would be considered "heavy wetter", so this night time solution was put through the test.
What we liked about the Poopsy Night Fleece Nappy

| This was the beloved Poopsy we received, it's now been passed on to this cutie in the pic. Charnelle no longer makes these but has Windpro Night nappies that I hear are bomb proof! |
Sweetpea fed at least twice at night and went through stages were her output would be considered "heavy wetter", so this night time solution was put through the test.
- It never let us down as a night time solution, it could hold 8 hours and not leak and also wouldn't leave Sweetpea with a clammy toosh. That was with the 3 inserts it came with. As she got older I added a small prefold in for night time.
- The inserts in my case weren't snap ons so I could choose to have the bamboo side face her bum during the day (natural fabric option against skin) and then the fleece side against her at night giving the stay dry feel.
- Wash after wash and not one stitch came undone, shrinkage or stretched elastics never happened with this one.
- The fleece does pill after some use but that is the nature of the fabric so expect that to happen.
- Along our cloth journey with 3 babies, I found that I really enjoyed a fold over rise and this nappy has one. Although the design of the Poopsy Daisy nappy has changed to a slimmer cut, I still found this one to be snug and I used the fold over rise on and off for quite a while. It's not just limited to younger babies, as they grow and get taller and slimmer I did find I used the fold over rise again.
- On its full rise setting it will last till potty training. Sweetpea day trained just before 2 and this nappy still had quite a bit of "give" left.
Another great option for night are hemp nappies with a fleece cover. These are the fitteds (with and without snaps) and a winged prefold (top right corner)
The different prints and snap colour combos are so gorgeous. Did I mention I have a thing for foxes?

| This has a snap in insert but as you can see the snaps aren't exposed on the back so no discomfort for baby when they lie down. |
The
snap placement on this nappy is awesome. I never had bunching between
snaps (I'm not OCD, I promise!) and found that I used the foldover rise
on occassion with Sweetpea at her toddler stage too as she slimmed out
after a growth spurt so even a handy feature at the end stages of our
nappy journey. I will be introducing my new niece at the end of the post but this is Squish in her Poopsy Daisy newborn fitteds. They have a cord snap too that can snap down so the fabric doesn't chafe the cord stump.

Squish
So let me introduce you to the new member of the family. This is Squish and she will occassionally model some goodies and test out products for the blog/vlog. Ain't she cute?!
For those who don't know, I'm the oldest of 2 children and this cutie belongs to my baby brother.
