At what age did you start using cloth nappies

[Mum2Romone]

I have some. My son is a year old

[~clover~]

My DS was 13 months old

[Tan2705]

Had them from birth OSFM - pocket but because we were back and forth from NSW to FN QLD for the first couple of months DS wasn't in them full time until about 2-2half months.

[~breeze~]

DS was a few months old I think (maybe 2 months?) but he's been in AIO, AI2 & pockets the whole time, although I do have about 4 BBH fitteds... I may start using those for overnight soon. DS is now 15 months

[STARRYSKY]

Full time since 6 months

[spooky]

Both part time since 6 months also I am a bit slacker in winter as I hate using the dryer and get a bit bogged down with the washing.

In this fantastic weather though, I'm only using sposies for night.

Bring on the sunshine!!!

Oh I'm glad to see this thread because I have only recently started using cloth and felt I was a little too late to be worth it. I bought a bundle of Baby beehinds Magic-alls . I love them!! They are pricey but so convenient. James has been wearing 'mostly' cloth now for three weeks - since just before he turned 5 months

[Peach*]

From around 5 months old. Was in disposables at night until about 5 1/2 months though. Started in terry flats then got a few magic-alls on sale, then got a heap off buy for baby. Definately saved cash!

[Early Kids]

DS1 was from 9 months and only part-time.
DS2 has been since about 6 weeks old, full-time.

[Purple Penguin]

on and off since bubba was about 2 weeks old, she's 8 weeks old now

[ss_storm]

since we got home from hospital, so when she was 3-4 days old. We use terry flats, so don't have to worry too much about long drying times. If we are going out for the day or away from home for a night or two I use sposies. DF refuses to have wet/dirty cloth nappies lying around the car! Lol

[*TripleJ*]

from about 5 months full time unless they dont dry quick enough

Fair enough I say. It is ok if you are somewhere with a washing machine, like when we stay with the grandparents, but not if the nappies will just be sitting in a bag for days.... stinky!!

DS1 was full time cloth from the time we got home from hospital. DS2 is still part time as we were given a gift of 3 months supply of sposies from a nappy service... we still have around 100 left at 7 1/2 months.

[~Saram~]

Used terry squares on DS from birth to 6mths
Modern cloth on DD full times from 5 wks until toilet training - she is still in night nappies but they stay pretty dry so much easier now

Hi all,

hope this isn't considered hijacking the thread but those who used from newborn, I wondered what sort of MCNs you started with?

I really want to use MCNs immediately but there is so much information out there about which nappies do / don't fit newborns and so on that I don't want to be 20+ of the 'wrong ones'!

thank you
