    Nuts -soap nuts, when you are washing them. I've never used them though.

    Liners - I hardly ever remember to use liners. I use microfleece liners if they are needing sudocream or something for rash, or I use flushable liners when I remember to (ie hardly ever)... LOL

    Never used nuts, never needed them
    Grab a box of EcoStore from the supermarket.

    Liners, meh, again , rarely used them. I f you do want to use them, grab a metre of microfleece from spotlight and cut it up to fit your nappies, no need to hem it. Wash them with the nappies. When they look old of whatever, bin them.

    It really is simple to use cloth - because you don't need all the paraphernalia

    What are you using for wipes?
    We use microfleece, just cut up our own from spotlight. Tried some disposables but they got too soggy.

    All of the above, I also find that buying a pack of 10 face washers, just cotton ones from Spotlight or the supi are great for wipes. They are big and perfect for a poo explosion. I also keep a pump bottle of water at the change table to wet the face washers with. Perfect.
    I have never used liners in my nappies either and have used Moo Goo for rash and if it has been really bad, one day with Sudocream and sposie has fixed it. Good luck!

    I use facewashers for wipes as well. I do have some proper wipes but never paid for them - they were just free gifts when I purchased big! LOL

    As for Rockin' Green - I got a sample from a friend down here that sells it, and it was ok, but I don't have any trouble with my normal washing liquid either.

    I never bothered with liners either. Wipes I bought some that were on special when I was buying other things. Pump bottle, I recycled a used up hand wash one.
    I use a washing powder made by planet ark... can't remember the name of it now

    As for nappies, I preferred the BBH fitteds for Tristan when he was little. He's in AIO's now though. I bought all mine online.

    Loula, I remember using Gaviscon or Mylanta (you know, antacid for heartburn) on one of the boys really serious nappy rashes. And it went away. Makes sense really, if the nappy rash is caused by acidity. If you have some around the house it could be worth a shot.

    If you think it's fungal though, you'll have to grab something like...is it called Daktozin? I think I've used Betadine on fungal rashes?

    As you can tell, I am somewhat experimental and problem solvey with rashes. Whatever works and works quickly I reckon. Those fighting kicking nappy changes get old very quickly.

    what about the rocking laundry stuff?

    When DH gets home im going to run out to spotlight, get some fleece to use as liners and some to use as wipes as the cotton wool is not doing it for me! lol
