So far I’ve only cloth diapered Wolf at night. A nifty combo of an XL or L Loveybums organic cloth diaper, with a super soaker hemp insert under the organic cotton fleece layer, and an organic Loveybums wool cover over. No leaks on day 3! 
Kitten is the tricky one to diaper. Her M diapers fit perfectly so not much space to stuff any insert, plus she is so small that she’d have to sleep doing a split if I put an insert in her diaper. And her wool cover is NB/S and it is super snug already.
Sooooo looking at the rest of my arsenal, I had the brainwave (okay, look, for sleep deprived mothers, it is revolutionary already!) to let her wear her M cloth diaper and use the BumGenius over. Perfect and no worries of leakage at night. It fit her to a tee, except her legs are a little stretched out. :p
I’m thinking maybe I should order the L sized diaper and wool cover for her to use at night. I’ve emailed Pam from Loveybums to ask her opinion. Let’s see what she advises.
Mephala is a strange and rather interesting

I still have no courage to cloth diaper my Sean, esp at night! Kudos! You must tell me about how you cope with all the dirty diapers.

Hi Kate, I guess once you figure out a system it will be a lot easier. I hate dealing with poop. Who does? So I hose it down and then put it in the diaper bin (cheap Ikea plastic box with lid). With the pee, I rinse it all off in the shower too. Then when I have a few used diapers I put them in the washing machine.
What kept me from trying cloth before was that I only had one or two pieces so using the machine seemed a waste of water and electricity. I figured if I had enough, then I would not feel it is a waste. And it isn’t. Because it is so much better for my children and for the environment.
Just try it.
It is really worth it.

Yes, must take notes from you regarding fitting cloth diapers on babies. I never used the cloth diapers on Gavin initially – despite them being “one-size fits all” I found them to be way too big for him. And yes, he was also doing the splits when I tried. It was only when he grew into them that I started using them on him at home.

Well, I waited till “I got my groove back” before I tried cloth. That was 3 months after Jade was born, even though I’d bought the diapers ages before. I guess I had to work out a system before I started.
That way too, you’ll have a rough gauge what size your baby is before you buy. If I had bought now, I would have surely never have bought the NB/S. Thankfully I only got one wool cover + 1 diaper.
Most websites have a measurement chart for you to refer to. I found that very helpful. Plus stick with those with many snaps so you have a range to adjust and grow into as well.
When did you start cloth diapering Gavin?

The diapers I bought were supposed to be “one size fits all”. They were snap button type which were adjustable. But seriously, they were still way too big for Gavin (who was considered a big baby) when he was born.
I really can’t remember when I started putting him into cloth diapers. I might have to dwelve into my photo archives to see when he started appearing in photos wearing his cloth diapers. It was definitely before he started moving because I remember pictures of him lying on the bed with cloth diapers, but I don’t think it was quite as early as three months.

Which brand was it?
Kudos for starting it for Gavin.
I must confess I am getting addicted to them!

I saw them at a local baby fair while I was pregnant. At the time they were the only cloth diapers of this type available in Malaysia.
