Okay...so I swear this thread isn't about me rambling away to myself! I'm just replying to new people's questions all in the one place...ohhh I just look like one big ol crazy lady don't I...

Where to start? Depends how old your bub is!
For a bub with solid poo, you don't need to worry so much about blowouts, so pockets and AIO's are great. Really, you can use any type of nappy you want.

For a bub with runny poop still, perhaps consider more fitted nappies with a cover? You know how you can get a blowout with a sposie, and the poo goes everywhere? With a fitted nappy, a good fitting cover should catch everything! You could also use a pocket or AIO that fit your bub really well, but what fits is going to vary from bub to bub.

I still say prefolds are the bomb for newborns, because, with so many nappy changes per day, you want a nappy that dries quick and is easy to use (but not to exy, cos you'll need a few with all those changes).

What kind of nappy to get?
Do a bit of research - if you're interested in Pocket nappies, for example, look at a few types, ask around what people think of them, google reviews, and then buy one or two to sample - it might be a brilliant nappy, but if the fit's not right on your bub, it's not going to work. Most nappies seem to fit most kids though. It also comes down to what you like, what you find easy to use.

Don't be afraid to sample, you can re-sell cloth nappies on an auction site called Buy for Baby (since you can't sell used nappies on ebay anymore), and resale value's not too bad at all!

I agree with Snacks and Captain (in the other thread) though: it can be pretty confusing, til you buy one, use it and go...ohhh okay. You start to see what you like in a nappy, and what suits your bub.

Oh and Sherie, 6kg could be small...or medium, depending on what you bub is built like...most nappies have a weight range for each size...however each brand differs.

Okay, crazy lady signing out.
