Question about cloth nappies

[~Raven~]

MCN is mostly only available online. There are a few IRL stores and if you are in Qld and nearby then there is thenappybucket or nurturenappies who are online stores but may allow you to visit and see. If you visit their websites you will be able to ask them from there.
Another way to see IRL is to have a babybeehinds demo which are great because they come to your house. You can find details about that at their website also.

don't forget that only a few weeks after bub comes you will get the baby bonus. if you shop around you can get MCN fairly cheap. i use the bum genius ones they fit from a newborn to app a 2-3 y/o depending on how big baby is. its cheaper than having to buy MCN each time your baby grows.

I started with terry flats but they gave DS a bad rash. we have no problems with the BG's. i advise to buy in bulk most web sites offer discounts if you do, i only had 10 to start with and that was enough as long as i kept up with the washing.

Good luck.

Went shopping yesterday and found some "Fitted Nappies" in kmart, they look exactally the same as some of the ones i've seen on the net for $20+ but they were only $6.78. Was a bit "iffy" about getting them but a lady watching me said they're just as good as the ones on the net thats good enough for me...

Now i just need some covers, the only ones i could find yesterday were pvc and they were HORRIBLE! Anyone know where to get some good covers?

Hi Jessey,

With the ones from Kmar, just be careful with the velcro rubbing bubs.. We have some, but the velcro is a bit rough. We actually got my mum to sew some flannette (about 1/2 inch over the top), just to stop the velcro rubbing when DD moves.

I am pretty slack and only use cloth when I know I am going to be in all day, but I use those ones form Kmart and the toweling ones.

I think the covers we have are call cutsie (Can't check as there are none that aren't in DD's room and I am too scared to wake her). They have PVC to stop the leaking, but are cotton on the outside, and have cotton covering the PVC on bubs side. They are about $4 I think..

Am sure that others may have better advice and I will be watching with interest as I really want to stop using so many disposables..
