I used only cloth. I started with flanny flats and a mother ease rikki cover. These worked wonderful and we NEVER had a leak until he was about 6 months old.
When he was 3 weeks we went into ittis and Bum genius one size. Over the next month we started on other smalls like bubblebubs which were a wonderful fit.
Now he used sposies to go to daddies house, which is only every 2nd weekend. I don't like the thought of sending my MCN up there incase they get lost or something so I brought a big pack of babylove and gave them to Dave to use.
Even the tar poo didn't stain the nappies, his first nappy in the hospy was a orange itti dlish.
