Try Buy4Baby to get some second hand MCN's, thats probably cheaper than buying new, and a cheaper way to dip your feet in to see if it works for you.

I think you would be fine with usin flats - I still use them on DS when he has a case of the runs.
Just get some awesome covers - you should only need about 4 PUL covers - depends if you want to use cloth overnight as well.
I wouldn't personally use flats of a night time if he is sleeping through. Although by your posts that I have read - that won't be a problem.. LOL
Then if you get really awesome covers (ie, like Mother-ease) you can resell them cos they are awesome awesome covers.

Oh you absolutely want another baby so you can have a good play with the MCN's!!!

My Name is Ali and I am a MCN junkie
We started off buying 1 nappy when we didn't need sposies that week, so a fairly slow process, and then buying a heap in one hit with my tax cheque. We got OSFA because we had 2 in cloth at different sizes, and we didn't really have the budget for sized. We also got a range of brands to find what worked, and when we did do the big buy-up it was a brand that we found worked well for us. We used B4B and still have some of the nappies we got from there.
I also told DH when we first started that each time he used the cloth he was saving up to 50c per nappy, and the more he used cloth the cheaper it became. He was pretty easily converted considering we did it slowly. At 11 months he still has at least a year in nappies, so work out how much you spend on nappies per fortnight, and then work out that expense over a year. To have 1 child in MCN washing every day you would only need 24 nappies, but honestly, I dont wash every day, so my stash is much bigger than that.

Can I challenge that AliI have 20 nappies and wash every second day, Matilda does sleep 12 hours straight at night though so in the same nappy. I use up to 5-6 nappies a day.
How many nappies does everyone else go through
Anyways... back to Marlene, I agree that he will be in nappies for maybe a year or so yet so definatly not to late to start. I would go for OSFA or maybe some large nappies too. I started with trting terry flats, did not suceed (I think due to my covers), I changed to AIO/AI2 and I love them and would never turn back. My staple nappies are Itti Bitti's and Baby Beehinds (mainly for night use).
It really isn't as daunting as it sounds.
I have 50 nappies and wash every second day have my favs obviously. I reccommend itti bittis, baby beehinds and Wild child. I bought most of mine off b4b and only 1 a week at first and slowly built up my stash.
