    We use a combination of flats with plu covers and i have a few other nappies (i'm so new at this i don't know the correct terminology for them all).

    I have bbh bamboo - they are really quite big and i didn't put them on my son until at least 6 weeks i think but i find them great for night time as so absorbant. A bit too bulky for during the day though

    I have some itti bittis but i'm not having a whole lot of luck with those, he seems to wet through very quickly.

    I just recently pruchased some bbh's... i think you'd call them all in ones and they are one size fits all. I have found these to be great, very absorbant and keep all the mess in. And not so bulky. I'll be getting a few more of these as soon as i have the $$

    I have found flats are really easy they wash up and dry really quickly, i use them a lot.

    For the first 6 weeks i used disposables as his bott was just so small and i was changing dirtry nappies soooo often.

    I found the whole cloth nappy thing very daunting at first (never attempted it with DS1) but i'm loving it with DS2 and wish i'd thought about it back then.

    Good luck i'm sure you'll find what works for you

    Yeah the BBH all in ones are what I want to use eventually, but I saw the one size fits all ones and they just seem so bulky on the newborn setting so I thought i'd go sized so they are a bit trimmer.

    I think the way to go might be just to get a stash of small BBH All in Ones, plus have some flats or prefolds? with some covers that I can use straight away if the small AIO's don't fit.

    It's all just so confusing!

    Janine1511 that sounds like a good idea, smalls would probably get you through until bub was big enough to fit in one size fits all comfortably. My DS is almost 4 months and the one size seems to fit him quiet comfortably now

    If not smalls use the flats with small covers, i found they fit really well.

    hi well i personally like bum genius all in one diaper because you dont have to buy different diaper as ur baby grow it has a PUL outer as they can be adjusted to any size and are very easy to use but the only thing is that they take more time to dry

    moscow will

    Sorry to ask such a stupid-sounding question.... What are prefolds? And how do they work, where do you buy them etc?

    I used flat terry towelling with my kids (had never heard of MCNs then, and wouldn't have had the money anyway! One of my besties sells BBH so I thought this time I'd support her business and buy a few AIOs, but size med as my kids tend to be born biggish, then don't grow a lot! But there will still be a few month before they fit and I was thinking a couple of fitted bbhs, and normal terry but prefolds sound like a popular choice.

    Please fill me in!!!!
