Hi all,

I think I am reaching that stage in the pg when the unsolicited advice is coming (mainly because I now look pg rather than just like I had a big lunch!) - I know they all mean and I am not venting re advice (just yet lol)

I just thought you would all appreciate my comeback...

I love the look on their faces with the following conversation:

Them: blah blah disposable brand, blah blah nappy cream, blah blah
Me: Thanks for the advice re disposable nappies but DP and I have decided we are using cloth
<insert their shocked look here>
Them: but you don't know what your getting yourself into... I remember when I/my mum/my grandma used cloth and I mean it is so much easier with disposables
Me: It may have been more convenient and that is the great thing about cloth - it has evolved to compete with the apparent convenience of disposables. There is now modern cloth nappies which are shaped like a disposable but so much better for your babies bum etc etc <insert MCN, cloth spiel here>

Ah, I love it when each time they come up with a reason as to why I should just 'give in and use sposies' I have an informed reason about why I am choosing cloth!

I have never said I will never use a disposable (I hope never to have a need but I know the need may arise) but yeah for me and yeah for cloth!

Oh, and yeah to all you wonderful ladies for sharing the info that makes me an informed cloth user-to-be
