As I'm getting very close to giving up completely
I know a lot of it's my own fault as I give him unlimited drinks (which are either pure water or have barley water to help his bum, but OMG, he loves the stuff!!) so of course he's now a seriously heavy wetter!
To give an example - he's been in Goodmamas all day, which are pretty absorbent nappies. And he's been through our entire stash of them today (6 in total) as they've been soaked. He's soaked through one pair of flongies, one pair of wool boardies and one PUL wrap (used in desperation). He's now in a sposie (which needs changing because he stinks again!).
I just cannot keep him dry. It's like it was with Bella when I gave up and put her in day time sposies (she was always in cloth overnight). I don't think the problem is with the wool as I have freshly lanolised all of it over the last few weeks. I don't use PUL very often as this gives him a sore red bum (which also makes me worried about using sposies full-time as they won't breathe as much either).
I just don't know what to do next. I can't really boost the nappies as that distorts the shape and as his poops are still manky and runny, they just leak out they legs
