My mum did the same thing, would use 2 terry flats at night, and used pul covers. So when I had Nina, that's what mum bought for me to use. She is blown away at the cloth nappies now.
As for stains, I swear by the sun. It only takes a day of sunning them, and they're all good again. I don't use liners, but only because I know I have the sun as back up. Living in Cairns, you get endless amount of sun.
I use Itti Bittis on Emily, I think they're fantastic. Them and Magicalls. Great for their tiny little bum.

That is so generous of Sue from Itti Bitti, what a champ!! Chrissy will be stoked.

Nina is going great guns with her tt. Every time she does a wee she inists on taking the nappy off. And everytime she needs to do a poo, she wants to use the toilet

I had a bad day yesterday, so used disposables on the girls as I just couldn't be bothered, and I forgot how many you go through in a day! It was kind of depressing seeing it all go in the bin. Won't be doing that again, at least for a while anyway.
