    Kitt3n it is a bit of an annoying time but luckily for us we get the day off Really have to pace oneself so you're not too inebriated before the big race back in the days when I used to go

    Lea DFM are a great nappy and so worth it. If I hear of any coming up I'll let you know

    We have a few beetlebums now thanks to Gigi cos I nabbed her stash of them but this is only the second time in 3+ years of using cloth I've been able to hyena some new. I so suck at being a hyena usually lol.

    Hi lovely ladies

    I've just subscribed too as I need to learn, learn, learn over the next 6 months!!!

    I am still so clueless, but after some lovely PM's from BG, Maz, Arimeh & Jodie I'm slowly learning

    When DS was born I used cloth, but also remembering that was almost 12yrs ago now, so things have slightly changed

    At this point for newborn stage, I'm going to go with the prefolds & flats until I know size & shape of bub... am stocking up on MAL covers, & also wanting some pretty nappies - ones for going out & to try other than the prefolds/flats... any ideas or advice is welcome.... I'm still fairly clueless at this point

    Hoping that subscribing to this thread will teach me from reading as well
    (I'm having a little trouble with the abbreviations on some nappies... forgive me if this is obvious, but is there a thread or sticky somewhere telling me what they are? )

    Welcome to the thread Holly!!!!

    If I was to go back and do it all again, for the first few months I would go with the Booroi stuff - their prefolds fit perfectly into the side snapper covers and they have a double leg gusset - so no leaky NB poos And, of course, a few Maz NB/small covers for going out!

    After that I would suggest side snappers. I think pretty much every one who has used ss (side snappers) would agree that they create the best fit. My faves are sugar shots, dragonfly magik, beetlebums and genessa forge. GF's are fairly easy to get but with time up your sleeve you might just be able to nab a few "hyena" items.

    lol I dont think there is an abbreviation list - maybe we should start one?
