i had a basket (on the nappy bookshelf) labelled NIGHT NAPPIES, so dh knew to look in THAT basket, for a night nappy. Like i would have the night aio's, pockets sitting there, and any fitted night nappies, sitting inside a cover, so he didn't have to go look for covers, or work out which ones were fitteds. just an idea.

good comebacks! i wonder how many will ignore you and STILL give you packs of sposies and sposie wipes/lotions etc for baby gifts? i remember people telling me, "you will be begging for sposies after a week of washing cloth nappies" - oh yeh? All their negativity is based on old style nappies. the old way of washing them (which does sound very hard work (heavy) and dangerous (drowning risk).

triplets! wow! triple the fluffiness! congrats!
Maybe post a "Wanted" thread on a few nappy forums?
let people know what you're after, at least you have plenty of time to look, choose and buy. maybe set up a baby register at a online mcn store, so your friends/rellies coudl get you stuff of your choosing?
i would go for a simple workhorse option, like bamboo prefolds and leg gusset covers (for beginning stage), to accomodate tiny pooing and weeing machines! i'm sure you will given the cute stuff.
someone said about the CT newsletter?
is that cute tooshies
is that cushie tushies?
i saw cushie tushies bamboo terry (i think) trifolds the other day, very noice. very pliable (my friend bought a few). and cushie tushie cloth wipes, made out of bamboo velour. so soft!
ALioops - yes, nice to have a mcn real life store in reasonable location (to me) now - just when bilby is tt;d! LOL.
charmlea - i still haven't read your pm, had problems getting bellybelly to load last day or so. when i would try to go to your message, my entire internet browser would shut down on me.

Teru - yeh for fluffy mail, what size ittis is dragon fitting into? i really like the itti bitti boos at his weight (on bilbs).
anyone nab one of the dragonflymagiks tonight? or the whizzkidz?
i never counted my stash, was never brave enough!
KATIE RABBIT - the number you have in your stash can depend on a few things too.
Like if both your kids have different body shapes, you might need MORE.
you can cut down the number by buying quick dry styles (e.g pockets and ai2's and flats).
the number may be "padded out" with flats, prefolds etc. (workhorses, not glam but do the job).
children wee and poop at different rates. my child pooped at least ten times a day when nb, other people report their nbs pooping once a week! things like that, greatly vary, how many nappies you end up needing.
how long your child is in nappies for
the weight range, of your child, whilst in nappies.
whether you use the ones you first bought, or find those unhelpful and go buy different types. (other closures for example).

As Leah outgrows stuff I will pop it all in a box and send it up. My NB stash isn't huge, coz we have mostly OSFM, but there is about 25 NB/Small in my suitcase for hospital. 30 nappies per NB should give you 10 per day per baby and a couple of days drying time if you wash daily. So for 2 day washing I reckon you need up to 60 each for them while they are tiny which means NB nappies will be 180 plus what DS is using. So what you dont have in NB size get in OSFM. You might be able to do 30 NB each (so 90 NB) and the rest OSFM and terry flats for spares (Terry flats might be a LOT of work with 3 NBs so do as much MCN as you can) And if you decide to have a box of sposies for the nightmare times when nothing can get done then no one will think any less of you 
so busy
I was going to say something else but it's gone now.
