SOOO over the cloth hate!

Huge hugs darling. Like so, so, so many things to do with parenting.... smile and nod, smile and nod.... untill you can't take it anymore, then crack a tanty and cry. More hugs.

I am not a cloth user, but you know there are so many things with parenting that you can prove your point with by just doing what you are doing and not worrying about anyone else. Many of my parenting ideas have been rejected by my family and friends in theory, but in the practice, it can cause a complete turn around their thinking. You will always get people who think they know better and won't listen, look or learn, but you get the observers who do come to see that it is not at all what they thought.

Just keep doing what you want to do and some of them will come around.

I agree with all the PP.

It all comes down to what works for you.
They aren't the ones changing the nappies or washing are they
And a cloth bum is gorgeous!

How annoying! Of course you can do it. I hate washing and even I can do it

I didn't have many negative comments while pregnant. Just horror from my Dad that we wouldn't be washing them with nappisan and one friend who said "Oh, old school!" which annoyed me as MCNs are not terry flats

Once you are using them and getting about I find everyone is positive. Most Mums in my MG were using them PT (or wanted to). MCHNs, lactation consultants, midwives etc all loved checking them out and thought cloth was best. Now HEAPS of my friends have turned to me for cloth advice as they have gone on to have children. It does get better!
