    Howdy Kate - welcome to the dark side

    The first thing I wanted to work out - out of all the information I was faced with - is what system do you think would work for you. So, what "idea" do you like best - fitteds, AIO (all in ones), pockets, AI2 (all in two's).

    Once you have worked that out - then you need to work out what brands you like the look of, and try a couple, see what suits your baby, cos what suits mine may not suit yours. We can give you recommendations on what is a good nappy - but they would be based on how they work on our kids you know? Not necessarily a guaranteed winner.

    Float around in the cloth thread, ask questions, google brands - ASK MORE QUESTIONS..

    Me so way confused!!! DOH... Maybe Googling so I can see what they look like??

    And once I find one that I like would I just buy one and try it?? Is there a second hand market?? As $$ are tight I would not want to buy one and then not use it....

    I would like to try a cloth nappy for night time as Bella sleeps 12-13 hrs staight and the disposables only JUST hold that much wee...

    Thanks Girls! Sorry I am asking so many silly questions!!

    Google a site called buyforbaby, it sells second hand mcn's. Avoid ebay! I can't wait to try out my mcn's on my little girl . Watch out for the cloth nappy girls, they will have you addicted in no time.

    If you buy new, many sites have trial packs with three nappies and boosters / liners etc.

    EDIT: how do you feel about fitteds + covers, vs AIO?

    if you google "baby beehinds" or "bum genius" or prob any of the main brand names, on their main pages (the nappy name dot com), they often have a 'New to Cloth' section where they explain with pictures the different types and how many you will need.

    Kate - if you like, I can send you a couple of brands out of my stash to have a play with?
