Yep, I second what everyone else has said. I've used MCN since birth (too unco for flats!) and have only used disposables a couple of times. (OK, so it's only been 8 weeks, so I'm still learning). The MCN are WAY more absorbent than sposies, and heaps better at preventing poo leakage too. And super cute too - we live in Nth Qld and our little guy is in nappies and little else - the MCN are much nicer looking than sposies! If you are using flats there are some great covers you can get that are gorgeous.

Some people say that the extra washing of nappies is compensated for by not having to wash sheets/clothes, etc after leaky nappies at night. There are some amazing night nappies out there!

Good luck and hope to see you in the cloth nappy thread!
