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
