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.
