    Thanks for all the replies, really helps knowing there are people out there that can make it work, especially with more than one child. This is our first and I want to give it a go, it is just disheartening when people are so 'you won't be able to do it', but i'm also getting that response with planning a wedding 2months after bub's due, a honeymoon with bub and breastfeeding.... grrr can I please make my own decisions and find out what will and won't work for me myself!!
    I'd look at washing every two days, but if I have to, I'm sure the washing machine will handle washing everyday. I'm sure bub will start going through clothes pretty quickly too that will need washing, so I may as well be doing a load of nappies as well as a load of clothes
    My mum had 3 of us in cloth under the age of 3, and she managed, I think it just takes the right mindset and unfortunately some people aren't supportive of it if they can't make it work
    Sorry... think I needed to vent a little in there...

    You can do it! My DD1 has special needs which were high when she was younger and when she was 6 months old I started planning our wedding which was 2 months later and I was also expressing breastmilk full time as she was/is fed through a naso-gastric tube, you can do anything you set your heart on, trust me. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    I thought I would never keep up with the washing but it's easy!! I find I want to wash them bc I don't want her to wear sposies bc cloth looks so much cuter!! LOL. So that keep me washing so I always have the cute ones ready for when we go out
