    We were planning on using cloth anyway, but the hospital supplied flannel flats so bonus!

    Cloth. Our hospital supplied flannel flats with a disposable snib (no pins).
    Same here. When we got home we used disposables for a month or so then I discovered MCNs and never looked back

    Sposies, S.C.N and nicu werent allowed cloth because of risk of bacteria. Then when we came home mcns
    Isn't it funny how hospitals are different.....Our little man spent four days in SCN and they only use cloth in there, no sposies allowed unless you supply your own...we used their flannies for the first two days and then edumacated them on the wonders of cool funky modern cloth nappies...they were very impressed....LOL!

    DD was in disposables, as she was in NICU/SCBU and that is all they had and they were huge on her, she didn't fit into any of her MCN's until she was a few months old. Depending on the size of this bub I am looking at getting some premmie MCN's, but will see how the BBH Petites go, but I have a full stassh of IB's but will have to wait for them to fit.

    Our hospital had both - I don't know nappy origami so when the middy changed him he ended up in cloth, and when we did we used our own disposables. Last time there were no disposables there, this time there was a box of them. I think they rely on donations for disposables. We were told to BYO.

    They had no wipes, just bits of cloth and sorbolene.

    We were told to BYO nappies,(which we did, sposies) but the post natal ward was stocked full with disposables, which we used and then the MW filled my baby bag up with them as we left , I didnt start using MCN until J was about 6 months, The hospital never offered cloth, I never asked!
