leaking wool cover?

[Zada]

damiens wool cover leaked last nite :( is that cos maybe i didnt lanolise it ok or?????

[Mor]

sorry to answer a question with more questions, but:

when did you lanolise it?

how did you lanolise it?

how much did you boost the nappy (normal?)

did you give bubs extra fluid (compared with normal) before/during bed?

silly question: was there any nappy poking out?

:)

im pretty sure all the nappy was in there...I did it yesterday in hot water like in the bbh book....the only thing diff with the nappy last nite was he pooed in his bamboo so had to wear hemp to bed?

Make sure that the water is only lukewarm when you lanolise, never hot.
Start with hot water to dissolve a pea sized amount of lanolin. Once dissolved add cold water until it's lukewarm, then add your soaker/wrap. Soak at least 15 mins or overnight.

For the first time, a couple of nights ago, Maia leaked through her soaker. Her pj's were saturated. BUT when I opened her nappy not only was it completely wet but she'd done a massive runny poo:eek: . I've never had a problem before in the 9 mths I've used them.

Oh, and I forgot about the bamboo/hemp issue. I always find the bamboo lasts alot longer overnight compared to the hemp. If you only boosted the hemp the same as you would for a bamboo then I'm pretty sure it just wouldn't have lasted the distance, but that's my experience and opinion.

thats exactly what i did :yes:
maybe the nappy was touching the hemming on the cover i dunno??

I would also say maybe cause using hemp.
I can get a hemp to go all night if I boost it with a bamboo fold up but otherwise even with an extra hemp booster- forget it.

What Kazza said. I always use bamboo to boost hemp even during the day (now he is out with his Dad I added the bamboo)

[kymmy]

btw what sort of cover is it?

[Zada]

its a beehinds wool wrap....

[gremily]

I've got 2 of the BB wraps and I've never had a prob with them. I def think it's using the hemp overnight with not enough boosting.

I prefer soakers or pull up wool covers to the wraps. They just seem to work better for us.
