    Whats wrong with Sydney and MCN?

    Hi All,

    This is a bit of a rant, but Ive noticed that most MCN suppliers are in QLD or VIC. Even the reusable nappy week sessions have so many events in QLD and VIC and 3 in Sydney =(

    How come Sydney doesn't have many suppliers of MCN? Is it alot less popular here?

    I have also noticed in antenatal classes, they never mentioned the options of MCN. I didnt even know about them until DD was 5mths =(

    LOL Sorry for the blabbering on

    I think there are a couple... I know theres a lady in Dural and another (iishfly) in Seven Hills (or somehwere near there). I have found a couple, but you are right when you say most seem to be in Vic and Qld. I also realised that - when I went to antenatal classes they only talked about terry flats and sposies and didnt even mention anything about MCN. That midwife was old-school though, so she probably didnt even know about MCN anyway!

    When I told people that we are going to use cloth they thought i was nuts - so i brought a few along to show my family and they were just amazed, they had never seen anything like it!

    I have seen one type in a store in the inner west - cant remember what they were, certainly not anything that I have heard of on line, and that was it!

    I get most of my fluffy mail sent to work and everyone is just amazed at all the wonderful things i have bought - I mean, if you weren't on the net, how on earth would you know what a BBH or a little squirt was? LOL

    I think I hear some business oportunities out there!! I can't believe with such a huge market as Sydney that there aren't more out there.

    Kitten they sell Peapods in My baby warehouse on parramatta road in Leichhardt. I've seen some in a store in wahroonga (or maybe turramurra?) a while ago too. I bought my very first MCN from there because I wanted to see and touch it first, rather than buying it online without seeing and touching it.
