It's true Rach, some of the cloth nappies can seem really expensive, but then again, you only have to buy them once!

There is so much to take into consideration, for example, if you were planning on having a few kids, then you'd get more wear out of a fitted than if it were just for one.
Although, having said that, cloth nappies have a fairly decent resale value.

Something I've been looking at as well are one-size nappies, which are adjustable to fit from birth (or a month or so after, depending on how big they are and the nappy) til toddler.

Keep asking questions!
