Thank you so much for all for your replies!

I think I am starting to accept that its not as straight-forward a process as I thought! And the best thing is to buy a few and try them out, as you say, different nappies fit different babies. So I think its just going to be trial and error - I just need to take the plunge and buy some!!

That will be my task for this weekend...to order 3 different brands. Oooh...getting a bit excited now!

Thanks so much for your help!
