I've bought my first mcn- I'm crossing over to the dark side!!

Thanks girls, all very useful info

Do I take the liners out to wash them? (All very dumb questions, I know, sorry )

What's a goo brand, and where is a good place to by them online? My dd is fairly tiny (6 kilo) and average chubbiness, wide a wide leg space (is that relevant info?). I want something that will last for a fe months at least.

I got some PeaPods (Pocket style - bamboo inners x4) second hand from my cousin, and while they are not my favourite, they seem to work ok, but I do tend to only use at home. I have also used the inserts in my other pocket nappies (BumGenius and GreenKids pockets which really like, are not very trim but neither is my DD and these will last till she is out of nappies) so have come in useful when running out of dry inserts.

I just take the middles out put in dry bucket, until wash. I wash nappies every other day, do a rinse cycle before the wash cycle and I often add baby clothes after the rinse cycle and seems fine. I don't have a dryer so not sure about that.

there are a number of MPM's who see MCN's (won't list cos i don't want to inadvertantly miss someone!)

if you jump into the cloth nappy threads you'll see a lot of names crop up. i would probably jump in there and explain your DD's body size and get some feedback on nappies that will be a good fit. some factors can make or break a nappy for an individual child - crotch width being one of them. as long as you can get a nappy with good crotch width for your bubba (thankfully DD fits most nappies, but some border on too wide) and to ensure it isn't too big around the legs (leg gape = leakage!)

you can look for nappies that are one size fits most but they tend to be wider in the crotch and may not fit so well at the moment...
