7 weeks in Asia... Would you cloth bum that baby. Please Help.

Hi Ladies,

Have a beautiful cloth bummed baby that is just over 3 and a half months. In 4 months we depart for Asia and are going for a long stint. 7 weeks. Most of the time staying in boutique hotel. *little bed and brekky kind of place with the locals.

I usually pay for our laundry to do be done but not sure if I could rock up with a load of cloth.. Do you think this would fine? Pain in the but? Not worth it? Too much space in the suitcase?

I am tossing back and forth with this and have 4 months to go.. but just curious, any mums out there use cloth for long periods whilst not at home?

Thanks in advance.

Last year I did 3 months in Darwin and I had access to a machine, but ultimately it was suitcase space that decided for us. They were just too heavy and to space intensive. Even when I put them in a space bag. I just needed the space for other things.

Mmmm the space. Just opened my Ergo carrier and was thinking hmmmmm. So guess, maybe it will be worth it to just use the sposies. Thanks heaps.

no worries....yeah I'd probably pick the carrier over the cloth nappies. I was really over the sposies at the end though.

Hi There!
We travelled Europe with an almost 12mth old a couple of years back. Absolutely could not have done it without the Ergo, and although sposies took up a fair bit of room too, the cloth nappies would have been way too bulky, unfortunately (especially given how limited the baggage allowance was with some airlines we flew with). We were also moving around too much to have regular access to a machine, not to mention enough drying time. I would also be a little concerned about other people washing the cloth nappies correctly. A shame, I know, but I personally don't think we could have done it.

depends where you stay, you might be able to buy some flats cheaply over there and then leave them when you come home.

you would only have to take snappies and 5 or 6 covers then.
