This is what I tried to tell MIL but she didnt believe me! She is still stuck with terry squares in her mind as the ONLY type of cloth nappy. She even tried to discourage me from using cloth by telling me cloth is WORSE than sposies for the environment! I just said 'oh ok, i dont agree but anyway' and ignored her.

I'd love to see cloth nappies more widely encouraged to new mothers - but its not helpful when Huggies are all the rage. I knew nothing of MCN until I saw lots of lovely ladies on BB talking about them. I'm so glad we changed over to cloth.

We used sposies for the first few months after Claire was born and she would go through plenty of nappies each day - sometimes up to 15! I cant believe how quickly the bin filled up, and imagine all the famlies who use only sposies.. how many bins full of nappies there would be!
