7th generation diapers, New Leaf

These are great disposables. No chlorine, so not contributing dioxins to the environment. Also, bio-degradable.

We've been using a single disposable at night (cloth for daytime). Although our child is now toileting fairly regularly by day, the night diaper may linger yet a while longer.

So, looking for size 4 diapers at New Leaf, I was astonished that they only carry 7th Gen up to size 3, and only pull-ups for size 4 and 5. I don't understand disposable pull-ups; one cannot rinse them out and hang to dry. What's the point?

Does anyone else here use size 4-5 7th Gen disposable diapers? With enough requests, New Leaf might stock them (Oasis does occasionally, albeit at small-order prices).

As a side note: any advice for night toileting toddlers?

Night toileting toddlers.

Ok, this sounds a little like a BIG inconvenience, but you could try taking the night diaper off completely for about 2-3 nights or just gradually phasing it out. The theory is that your child will wake up from the pee and be uncomfortable doing that in the bed and will get out of the habit if they no there will be no more diapers to catch it at night. I would prep the bed before hand if you try this. Just an idea.

Thanks for that tip on toddler night toileting!
Just today, she woke mid-way through a diaper-free nap to visit the toilet down the hall, then returned back to bed to sleep! So maybe one of these nights we'll attempt your solution...

After posting my query here, I had a notion that disposable pull-ups might serve for night-times. Are they as absorbent? Anyone tried 'em?
