I’ve been using cloth nappies for a while now (my baby is almost 5 months) and I am mostly very happy but I am having one issue. I use bamboozle stretch with boosters and a motherease airflow wrap at night but I’ve found that from halfway through the night there’s a really strong smell of urine. There’s no leaks whatsoever using this system but I’m wondering if anyone else has come across this smelling problem?
I previously used peenut wraps before I could get my hands on a motherease and didn’t have this problem (although conversely these wraps did leak as there’s no elastic at the top of the wrap at the front so it soaked out). The main difference between the wraps is the peenut ones wrapped with Velcro and kept everything tight inside but the motherease wraps, for those that aren’t familiar fasten with poppers at the waist and more at the legs leaving a gap between the two where I assume the smell is escaping.
Any ideas how I can stop this? Do I maybe need to go to a large size from a medium? Or is the problem with the nappies?
Ps I always wash them on a 60 wash with small amount of detergent as recommended.
