Hi Babysocks - great to hear that you are on your way in using cloth. I second what everyone else hear has said at environmental costs and a double second what Maz said about people doing studies without having a clue about what they are actually researching! don't even get me started on some of those "research papers" - funded by the company who makes huggies (hmmm I wonder where there bias lies....)

We started off with cloth squares also and slowly moved into modern cloth. There is some info on a site called modern cloth dot org and also at nappycino about what types of nappies are available in MCN world. there is also a page on my site in my sig about what the difference is between AIO and pockets etc as it can be so confusing at first.

Kazbah had a great sugggestion about using the microfibre cloths to help boost up your nappy as terry squares don't really stack up to disposables in the absorbancy stakes. MCN are a lot more absorbable than terry's.

Would love to hear how you are going and feel free to post any questions as there are so many knowledgable ladies here, esp the ones in the cloth nappy general discussion forum - if you can keep up with them.
