    Cloth for us. I've got 'Tots-Bots', terry squares, flannellette squares and have just bought a 'Bubba-J' hemp fitted and some Mother-Ease fitteds. Love 'em all.

    I buy whatever is on special usually, I have been using bablove a lot, but the last week I have noticed quite a few leaks! So I think I might go back to using huggies for night and a cheaper brand for day. I tried the coles brand nappies not long ago and they were really good, and also plain old black and gold ones from IGA are excellent, suprisingly!

    Hi!

    We use cloth at home during wake times, Huggies at night and VIPs during day sleeps, and going out (they are almost as good as Huggies, but cheaper!)

    Cloth during the day (except for outings) but as his wee's are getting bigger I'm starting to really be over them... Huggies at night time.

    Ellen, 3 boxes of newborn size should be more than enough - you'll be suprised how quick they move up to the Infant size, especially if you have a big bub like I did!

    I used cloth nappies until my dd was 8 months old and we moved towns (a distance of 1300km) which made using cloth too hard so went to disposables. Now use babylove disposables. Buy them in bulk. Heaps cheaper than huggies although I do believe that huggies do work better. Snugglers burnt dd bottom within 10minutes of putting one on her bottom would be bright red and hot and would take at least 2 days of cloth to calm it back down.

    Just thought I'd mention that our income went down recently (before it went up again) and we needed to save some money, so stopped buying Huggies, and used Babylove instead.
    IMO they work PERFECTLY, and I am not going back to Huggies and wasting our money again!
    I have never had a leak with Babylove either.... However, I think they work so well because Aidyn is older, and doesnt wee or poo quite as much (especially overnight) anymore. On a younger baby I would probably still use Huggies, but on an older one I don't really see the need.

    Huggies were the only nappies that didn't give DS nappy rash, but i found the new design Snugglers fantastic too. Juat started using cloth, terry flats and have had NO leaks so far way better than any disposables on DS, a bit more work though. am using Huggies at night.

    I use cloths (flannellette then terry flats) predominantly. We used to use sposies for going out, but now only use them if we're going on a 2hour plus drive, or if I'm catching the train with Oscar in the sling instead of the pram. I use sposies at night, too, until I can find a suitable cloth solution (we now have an income, so maybe soon!!).
    As for brand, I am surprised no-one has mentioned the Aldi nappies. I have only ever used Huggies when they were samples from Bounty Bags and I really do find the Aldi ones better. Also far cheaper. They have only ever failed me when they were getting a bit small and we were in need of moving up a size!
    Cloth flats are dead easy and I love to know that I'm not contributing to landfill and water table contamination (cos, honestly, how many sposie users actually flush the poo down the toilet, as legally required??). And they are fun!

    We've been using Huggies, and I've also used Coles brand as well. The other brands seem so much bigger and we cant do them up tight enough to prevent leakage!

    I find That anything not like huggies leaks through the legs. Snugglers are good now coz they have similar legs to huggies but aren't as elastic at the waist. Im sticking with huggies.

    Modern Cloth! BumGenius, Peapods, Tots Bots, Baby BeeHinds, Itti Bittis, BerryPlush...the list goes on!

    I'm the laziest person in the world and I find cloth so easy and cheap, especially since we're planning on a few babies. Each to their own though, whatever turns you on.

    I am using huggies nappies for my newborn baby. They are pretty pricey though. I might consider trying some other brands of comparable quality.

    Cloth nappies - and never anything else again! DS needs his protective bulk down below, especially on a car journey.

    currently using huggies, but, thinking of changing to something abit cheaper... although, if i buy in bulk when they are on special, they are not as expensive. Have never paid more then $30 for a box of 90 nappies yet.

    Wow Debbie, that is cheap! I have NEVER seen Huggies for $30 a box! Always 2 boxes for $66 here or a box on special for $35. And my DD was in WALKER size when I was using Huggies and they only came in a box of 64! But $30 is awesome!
