With thanks to Alexia Broome. Wool covers are fantastic over a double terry for night-use (fold one terry kite fold and pad fold another into the centre) or over a very well boosted hemp fitted. Both solutions are great on toddlers, as I’ve found pockets to leak on occasion with older babies as they’re apt to sleep in weird and wonderful positions which means gaps can form around waist in particular (especially when they sleep in that bottom in the air, face down pose *lol*).
