I'm thinking about getting some cloth nappies for DS.
I know its seems a bit late, lol. If I'd known a bit more about them I'd probably have started a long time ago!
I've only ever used the terry towelling ones Coffs hossy provided when the girls were born. I have no clue about all these new flashy styles, lol!
He's 10.8 kgs. Pretty tall & skinny on average.
How many would you use a day? He only uses 2 - 3 sposies a day. Thats with no bum free time. When we are home he rarely has a nappy on.
So what are the best brands? I'm not doing too well on the $$ side of things. I was looking at them on ebay.
I'm going to check out some of the sales you girls are having & put some of Ruddy's $$ towards it.
So, considering he's over 1 already do you think 5 or 6 would be enough?
Which ones do you guys use over night?
we use the bumgenius brand and cant fault them! also i have heard that itty bitty are fantastic from heaps of friends...
the cost can be pretty mammoth. we have had them since DD was born so got a full time pack of 25...which you wont really need IMO.
but unless you want to wash every day i would recommend going for about 10...that is just the slightly more lazy me talking! (and this is going on what my DD goes through too....)

AIO's are just that - all in one - no liners needed - unless you want one for easier poop disposal!!!!
I go through about 6 or 7 a day with each kid now - and a night nappy as well. But I change them basically every 2 - 3 hours.
So I would say that 12 would be a good number for you. Get reputable brands (ie - NOT from ebay) that you can resell on buy for baby when have finished using them. If you buy cheap brands, they may not work the way you want them to, you would have wasted money on them, PLUS, they won't have any resale value. JMO of course!!
If you have any specific questions - go into the cloth thread and start reading/posting all the girls in there.
ETA - sorry, didn't see your question about nights. I use baby beehinds bamboo fitted for DD at the moment with a woollen cover over the top. I use green kids minky times at nights for DS, plus Snoozywuns, plus bubblebubs GNST.
ah yeah, probably should of had more details! LOL!
we use the bumgenius one size pocket nappies. they come with covers and inserts. dont need soaking and can be used from newborn up until TT.
they have their own website too and i recommend checking it out...BUT i got mine brand new off a girl selling them on ebay and i saved heaps that way...(so for 26 nappies i paid $500 instead of the $800 from the website)
I am looking for the same info as you and just found a great website - ozclothnappies.org
Its run by mums and is info based with heaps of advice and pictures and articles about the different systems. The site is run by volunteers and is not about making money. If the mods dont let the website link go up on this reply just google cloth nappies and check out a few sites.
Advice? Info?
