Cloth bums

are cloth nappies cheaper in the long run?
and what do you have to do everyday when you use cloth nappies?
im interested but everyones telling me to not go there it would be way to hard for you.
because ill have to bubs in nappies one will be toilet training in a few weeks (gotta get potty first)
and one is in my tummy.

If you are interested in using cloth on your toddler I have just listed Pea Pods on ebay

My 2 girls were in cloth nappies all the time, apart from when we went on holidays. I used to love seeing the clothes line full of clean white nappies . When my son came along, i started him in cloth but found i was changing him from head to toe a few times a day. i always made sure his boyhood was pointing down and the nappie was on properly but he never failed to saturate everything. His sleeping was interupted aswell because he didnt like the wet feeling.  When we moved onto disposable nappies his clothes stayed dry more often and he slept better ( still does ). It is an expensive option and im not impressed with the amount of rubbish associated with disposable nappies but it has help in my and my sons prediciment.

I would like to hear how other parents of boys made cloth nappies a success.

If anyone is interested, cloth is on sale at some of the nappy sellers. 10& off at www.babybeehinds.com.au/shop/products.php

i have 6 children and i have used cloth nappies for all of them, my cloth nappies have now lasted me 7 years, how good is that

i'm currently useing them on baby number 6

i didnt use cloth nappies for the first child. iam going to use it for the second when he/she arrives. but i have no idea what i will have to do and buy

I am interested to know what others are using at night?

We started out using pockets and AIOs for night time. The Wonderworks magic all and bumGenius in particular. We are now moving towards fitteds and wool soakers for night. I have been wanting a Very Baby Simply Night to try for a while - they are hard to come by as only one wahm is licenced to sell them in Australia. Now we have one! It has so many layers of hemp I doubt bub can out wee this one. I also use Dream Eze and a Huggle. I have another night nappy coming called Sandman. We use a wool cover and bamboo to boost in between.

I have finally finished my first one-size fitted nappy!! It is perfect other than needing more padding to keep the pee in better. Josh tested it out and it only lasted about one hour and a half, but it is pretty good for a first time effort and for someone who hasn't sewn for about ten years .

This my bub in a new nappy. I was the first customer!
It is is a fleece AIO so it needs no cover.
It comes in 3 parts to make for quick drying.
I am not usually keen on AIOs but this one is very interesting.
Can you tell he loves it too! The lil poser!

I should have my first fitted one-size nappy done by tomorrow or the day after (as Sunday is usually my "do nothing" day). Just have a few more things to do but cannot do them until I get a few supplies I forgot last time. I have also ditched the cloth nappies at the moment as I am having a hard time finding a fold that fits Josh and also contains his wee (I am still using the cloth nappies I used when he was first born). Figured I would save myslef the stress and just hang out for the nappies I am making.
