I love cloth. I didn't find it really any worse to clean off a cloth nappy than just changing a pooey nappy in the first place.

As for what type. Well. How long do you have? There are so many options for cloth these days and everyone has their own personal preferences. You also will find that while one particular nappy will be fantastic on one baby, it won't be good for another so its best to try a few different types to see what works for you and your baby.

I used one size pocket nappies for my girls - DD1 I only started in cloth at about 4 months. DD2 I started from birth but used prefolds and small fitted nappies initially and then switched to the pocket nappies at about 3 months. I'll do the same for this bub too.

While they can be pretty pricey initially, you save a fortune on disposables. My own experience also says that bubs in cloth are less susceptible to nappy rash than bubs in disposables.

Careful though. Cloth nappy purchasing can get pretty addictive!
