O...Oh, I'm so glad we're not the only ones! One thing I used to do is put down a nice soft merino wool blanket under the babe and me to absorb errant pee and milk leaks. It kept the sheets drier that way.<br /><br />But, no, we don't change the sheets for every little thing! I'm always astonished by the rattling of the debris onto the floor when I finally pull the sheets off to wash.

I think the nappy is so full that the new pee just splashes off it and ricochets out.Cave Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08489375502067939290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-90792435132407581912010-02-19T20:50:21.346-08:002010-02-19T20:50:21.346-08:00The smile just kept getting wider the further I go...The smile just kept getting wider the further I got into reading yoru post. So, so true. Our "roomy" queen bed is now home to two tall adults, one very large three-year-old, a medium-sized bed-hog of a dog, and a fat cat who has got to have some Siamese in his bloodline somewhere.<br /><br />Odd tip for solving night-time nappy leaking: Attach a sanitary napkin to the inside of the "hips" of the diaper. Catches overflow when the kiddo is sleeping on her side. Worked great for us.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167412850616073440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-1977846934623671232010-02-19T14:06:41.419-08:002010-02-19T14:06:41.419-08:00You missed out snot!

And of course the wee leaks that the folded towel can't quite contain when I am too lazy to take baby to the toilet again. Weekly sheet changes here, any longer and the yellow patches merge and the original white disappears.Beckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466290600198101552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-6382676645396457052010-02-18T15:40:54.074-08:002010-02-18T15:40:54.074-08:00That is SOOO disgusting.... and it's my bed to...That is SOOO disgusting.... and it's my bed too! lmao<br /><br />Although no food bits. Tiny bits of floor dirt cause it sticks to her socks and mine, but otherwise shoes come off at the door.<br /><br />But no way I'll change after every diaper leak. I sort of guage the smell, if it doesn't reek I ignore it.<br /><br />It's amazing what standards we had pre-baby. Somehow there's more mess now but less cleaning. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863793441609598153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-26167131815346117802010-02-17T11:26:28.322-08:002010-02-17T11:26:28.322-08:00No food or dirt in our family bet, yet, but we'...No food or dirt in our family bet, yet, but we'll see what summer and a walking babe bring.<br /><br />I don't change the sheets every time there is a small diaper leak either, and I gave up on making the bed after she was born.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828516083662339236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-46701483453525583942010-02-16T17:54:44.693-08:002010-02-16T17:54:44.693-08:00No dirt or sand in ours (shoes and dirty clothing ...No dirt or sand in ours (shoes and dirty clothing come off when we come in the house) and no food, but everything else is there!

With looking after other kids during the day I often find them hiding in my bed or jumping on it (totally against the rules) so I have little bits of non-family members in my bed too.

You know the story - we said we'd start with them and maybe move on to cloth when we had ourselves in order. But it never happened.

Re: leakage - have you ever tried ...HA! Excellent.<br /><br />Re: leakage - have you ever tried hemp inserts? Kieran is a heavy wetter but hemp does a pretty good job of holding it all in. We often stuff his diapers with a hemp & a microfiber insert.
