I agree with everything Lea said - especially about the baby beehinds fitted.

I use one at night for DD and don't have any leaks - and it does her for about 13 hours? I use them during the day for DS.

But I am horribly addicted to MCN's - so have LOTS of different types that I use for different reasons...(ie, nights, daycare, home nappies, after bath before going into night nappy - those kind of things..)

I'm not really thinking about how much money I have spent (and believe me its wayyy more than $800!!) cos I am planning another child - so I will get full value out of my nappies by the time the next one is toilet training!!!!!

Don't know about the toilet training biz - I would imagine it would get them more inclined to do it if they are using a nappy that has the wet feeling (like the baby beehinds) but there are MCN's out there that draw the moisture away just like a disposable.

Let me know if you want me to send you a couple of nappies so you can give them a go.. I'm sure Miss M can spare some.. LOL
