Re the 'work' of MCN - my DS has been in terry flats and a variety of MCN since we came home from hospital 11 weeks ago. I do a load of nappies/chuck cloths every day and have not found it much work at all. Some days the dry nappies get thrown in a pile rather than neatly folded and stacked but even on the bad days,I've not yet felt that it's too hard.

Trying different ones out is a good way to go. I've just got rid of a few so I can get a few more BBH hemp (for night) and BumGenius pockets (for outings). We're using BBH and bummis covers over the flats and have found that you don't even need a snappi.

Good luck and have fun - there are so many to choose from!!
