Ohhh how exciting! I totally agree with the waste issue, 2 in disposables is terrible isn't it!

Are you just starting with Izzy in cloth or James too?..It's sooo easy when they are older (not that I'm saying it's hard when they are younger, just more poos to deal with then!).

Not sure if you are planning on using liners or not, but I was going to say that I use flushable liners a lot of the time for my DD (plus a fleece liner underneath that if the poos are icky) and they are brilliant! Makes cloth VERY DH friendly too! (Must add though, that I found that some brands of liners are a bit crappy).

Was also going to say we don't rinse the pooey nappies here, we just scrap or 'flick' () as much of the poo off as possible then chuck it in the bucket.

Oh, and the washing thing..it's easy!..although sometimes I must admit I do wash them in the evening, then forget about them and they sit in the machine all night I think the thing is, that it feels good to be reusing something and not being wasteful and those good feelings overcome the the any negativity you feel from doing the chore of washing!!!

Have fun!
