[mummajj]

ooohh thanks everyone. yep im actually really excited about switching. and the cleaning doesnt sound that difficult at all.
just another question.(i have heaps lol) when it comes to wees,how do you know when to change them. like with disposables,they kinda feel different when they r full of wee. same with cloth?? or do u just change every few hours..???
and yes,helle i got half pockets and half AIOs.
one more ??, can you use different brand boosters/inserts for diff nappys?

I usually wont leave anything on longer than 3 hours... I also go by how much DS drinks (it's not uncommon for him to skull back a good 300ml one water in 2 minutes, so a nappy change 20 minutes or so after is needed otherwise we get an overflow problem!) as to how often his butt will need to be changed, if that makes sense.

with pockets, whatever you can stuff in there go for it!! I have some Ebay cheapie pockets that I will boost using Baby beehind or Cushie tushie bamboo trifolds. AIO you could probably use some extra trifold boosters, but you'd need to make sure you have suede cloth or microfleece against the skin still... so maybe use a liner if you're going to boost those up? (not too familar with AIO sorry!)

and I don't know if you have seen already, but there is also this thread full of BB's cloth addicts

I don't leave anything longer than about 3 hour either. The nappy will feel different when they're wet too though, you'll get to know each one I use different booster etc with different nappies, like Helle said as long as they fit it's all good.
