PP, I nearly switched to MCN (modern cloth nappies) before DS2 was born, but decided against it as I was too confused by all the different types. In the end I found having 2 in nappies was so expensive and I was feeling guilty at the landfill, so I switched to MCN when DS2 was 1 yo. DS1 TTd not long later, but for a while they were both in cloth.

My only regret is not switching earlier. I made my money back (by not buying sposies) in under 6 months. When I think of all that money that was wasted on boxes of sposies!! And I love the MCN. So the best advice I can give you, is GO FOR IT.

There are so many types available, try joining in the cloth nappies general chatter - the girls in there are so helpful. And Nelle has written a great post on MCN for beginners - it's a sticky in the nappies section, go check that out.

I got started by going to a nappy party for Baby Beehinds nappies. That's not a bad way to start, as you can see what they are like and ask any questions. Plus if other people buy from the party you can get free nappies!!

GL with it, give it a go.
