Hi, I am a late cloth diaperer lol. Ive been using them for a little over a month nowon my 6 month old and I love them, Ive had no issues that werent easily fixed with a little research. Ive been having a problem though with overnight. and it isnt even leaking. I find that they end up too waterproof that her skin is all soggy in the morning. My question would be what diaper or product do you think is the best for overnight dryness. (no leaking prob only dryness)

Sounds like you need more cloth in the diaper. Have you doubled up on your inserts/prefolds or laid another one in there? Also, different types of material will pull the moisture away from the babies skin. I would put those next to the baby.

I use a layer of microchamois fleece and then a flushable liner which is really helpful in case there is a poop :)

Fleece will wick the moisture away from her so she stays dry. You can buy fleece liners online (e.g. Bummis Fleece Liners) or you can make your own by buying some microfleece fabric from a fabric store like JoAnns, cutting them up and placing them inside her diaper next to her bum.
