    Had them from birth OSFM - pocket but because we were back and forth from NSW to FN QLD for the first couple of months DS wasn't in them full time until about 2-2half months.

    DS was a few months old I think (maybe 2 months?) but he's been in AIO, AI2 & pockets the whole time, although I do have about 4 BBH fitteds... I may start using those for overnight soon. DS is now 15 months

    Both part time since 6 months also I am a bit slacker in winter as I hate using the dryer and get a bit bogged down with the washing.

    In this fantastic weather though, I'm only using sposies for night.

    Bring on the sunshine!!!

    Oh I'm glad to see this thread because I have only recently started using cloth and felt I was a little too late to be worth it. I bought a bundle of Baby beehinds Magic-alls . I love them!! They are pricey but so convenient. James has been wearing 'mostly' cloth now for three weeks - since just before he turned 5 months

    I bought some when I was pregnant and we used them from about a week old. We've used them full-time during the day since. We've done full-time day and night since around 5-6 months. Jazz is 15 months now.

    Kane from around 6 months, full time
    Zavier, around 2, full time.

    The next bub will be from birth full time too. So I started late with Zavier, but was still definatly worth it. I have nappied the last 3, soon 4, kids for about $800!!!

    From around 5 months old. Was in disposables at night until about 5 1/2 months though. Started in terry flats then got a few magic-alls on sale, then got a heap off buy for baby. Definately saved cash!

    since we got home from hospital, so when she was 3-4 days old. We use terry flats, so don't have to worry too much about long drying times. If we are going out for the day or away from home for a night or two I use sposies. DF refuses to have wet/dirty cloth nappies lying around the car! Lol
