My 20 month-od DS is a HW and I use Weenotions Night Notions, Puddlekins and Luscious Little Somthings super-heavy-wetter at night.

Ems (first person to answer your post) does the PK nappies and they are one of the best around as she can tailor the absorbency to suit your LO's needs. They are a bit pricier but well worth it and they hold their value well if you ever come to re-sell (just take a look on Classifieds as if any come for sale they are gone within minutes): www.puddlekins.com

Another great NN are the LLS super-heavy-wetters. Again these are quite pricey but are fantastic nappies. Amber (who makes the nappies) is :pregnant: and due in December so custom slots are almost unavailable at the mo but she will be doing some instock ones for Beth once things setke down again. Beth also runs a Pass a Nappy club: you can put your name down to try out a nappy to see if it works for you - a great way to try without paying a lot of money if the nappy doesn't work you: http://www.lusciouslittlesomethings.com/passanappy.html

As for Weenotions they are a good choice and can be bought reasonably cheaply. Yes you can pay for lovely embroidery but if you want a budget nappy then you can buy plain for around £13: http://weenotions.co.uk/index.php?main_ ... vqn2uoopb3

As for Bedbugs. I would buy one of these pre-loved instead of brand new as at nearly £30 they are a pricey option and a lot of people with HWs find they don't cut it as a night nappy. I know they don't work on my DS but they do make great day-time nappies. Bonnie has just released the new Bedbug Plus which is more absorbent than the old style. I haven't tried these as they are so new but some people on the forum have and I believe they have been reviewed in the Reviews section. You can get info at: http://www.holdenslanding.com/ but the best place is her FB page which is very active daily: http://www.facebook.com/#!/HoldensLanding

Other than that I would recommend hemp and/or bamboo boosters and avoid microfibre as it isn't absorbent enough for night time. Also try getting nappies with a stay-dry inner such as microfleece or minkee as this will keep your LO's bottom dry not matter how wet the nappy gets.

And finally I would advise moving to wool nappy covers over PUL wraps. Apart from being utterly gorgeous it is more reliable, very easy to care for and allows baby's skin to breathe and moisture from the nappy to escape, keeping it drier throughout the night.

Hope this helps and welcome to the tree :cnthug:
