    I can relate - when I'm cleaning off my 3rd poopy nappy of the day I have the same thoughts Moo has always been in sposies at night. And every now and then I give myself the day off so Moo has a sposie day!

    But you can't beat that big cloth baby bum hey?

    Hahaha FJ, i was looking at my box of NB nappies, thinking i should get them all out and wash them in preparation, but i just can't be arsed!! I KNOW it is better for baby, better for the environment, better for my hip pocket, BUT no matter what any clothies say it is more work. Not a lot more, but a bit more. I am struggling to be motivated and excited about them. Maybe because i don't need to buy any.

    My last two were in cloth from birth, but i am feeling tempted to use those NB ones the hospital provide!

    I need to find the love again..... if you find it, lemmie know.


    ETA- i use sposie pullups on my other two at night for all the reasons you say. They look uncomfortable, are huge and stink in the morning.

    Days its ok, Its just nights. It will be faster to change a sposie then a night nappy & Rohan kicks & fusses & cries, I feel bad that I seem to take to long & just wants to get back to sleep.

    Totally agree but the savings keep me motivated to keep going! Although I would def go sposies overnight if DD pooed several times. We used sposies when she got a bout of nappies rash last month and OMG - so so so easy. Even going out is easy! The space the sposies take up is nothing compared to MCN's.

    I know the cost is what is making me feel guilty a bit. But I figure I can either buy for MCN that fit properly now (god knows what ones as this boy is a weird shape LOL) OR I can make do with sposies at night & just try now & then to see if the night nappies I have fit yet.

    Also, what I bought was $10 for 36 nappies. so thats what beep beep dot beep dash beep dot.... 27c a nappy... thats ok isn't it?

    We buy nappies from cheap as chips. They're fine during the day, but looking at getting better quality for nighttime.
    DD's in 3-6kg and it $6.66 (weird price, lol. They're evil nappies!!! hehe) for 78 nappies.

    I do sposies at night too. DD1 is TT for the day now but man, she can wee at night and my cloth nappies just can not hold it all and she does not wake if she is wet. I find DD2 sleeps better with a sposie at night when she is laying flat. During her day naps she sleeps with a boomerang pillow so she is slightly raised. I buy the coles sposies and the large bags last me just over a month so I think it is not to bad on my pocket. Both only waer one a night because there is no poo at night (they poo like clockwork .

    I completely get this.

    We cloth bum during the day for awake time, but for DD's daytime nap and night time it's a huggies. They are slimmer and absorbent - a $33 box lasts me 2 months.

    Cloth just looks so uncomfortable to sleep in - but during the day while she's running around, that big padded butt is just divine LOL
