First Nappy After Birth?

[*Efjay*]

Not sure that a nappy washing service will be good on your MCN? Just yoru flats (or their flats, how ever it works, justr don't mix up your MCN!

We used flats at the hospital but then our MCNs when we came home. We came home after 24 hrs so he was still having meconium poos but we didn't have a problem getting them out (we even forgot to use liners ).

We didn't want to use disposables on a newborn because of the chemicals and didn't end up using any till he was 2 months old. We bought a more degradable brand with no chlorine so you might want to look for those for your occasional use.

If you're having a nappy wash service I'd use your flats and enjoy someone else doing the washing

I was lazy and used a HB Huggies in the hospital. I put him in cloth on day 2, but I didn't have enough NB cloth for full time so was doing 50/50 with disposables. Some of my MCN are still slightly stained from the meconium but I haven't soaked them or hung them in the sun yet (we line dry inside, unit dwellers).

We are down to two disposables a day at the moment - one when we go out, and one overnight. He sleeps better in the 'sposie than in one of my fitteds. I really should look into a decent night nappy.
