    Do you BF/Formula? Breastfeed
    If BF, how long for (or self wean?)? 9.5 months and still going
    Use Disposables or Cloth? Cloth
    Co-Sleep? Yes
    Baby Led Solids? Not at first... we started solids earlier than 6 months, but since 6-7 months we've been leaninf towards BLS over purees and mashes.

    Also......

    Why Did you start using cloth?
    Mum used cloth with us, and my younger bro is 8 so I remember her using cloth and it didn't seem hard. Then I found fitteds, and OMG I was in heaven! No folding! It's just easier, and cheaper, and cuter!

    What did you start doing first?
    Cloth vs Sposies: Disposables in hospital, then cloth at I think a week, once they actually fit her LOL! I bought them when I was about 30 weeks pregnant.
    Cloth vs Bfing vs co-sleeping: Bfing and cloth at the same time (well, cloth intentions but they didn't fit at first!) then co-sleeping later.

    Did you find one thing led to another?
    Bfing definaetly led to co-sleeping.

    Did you find that by doing one you spoke to other mother doing the others and were encouraged/inspired to try?
    I had hoped to do all three, and it was mostly BB members/mums who just helped me realise that dream of being a crunchy hippy mumma
    I think I have inspired a few people to use cloth though!
