I have to giggle when people say how expensive MCN's are.......yes they can cost from $20 to $50 per nappy BUT then againt eh government has given everyone a maternity allowance for when our bub's are born eg atm its $5000 so you can get the royals roce of stashes and then some out of that.

Id say a decent stash can start at $500. There are plenty of on line nappy stores that have a variety of nappies so you dont have to just get one of the same kind.

ALSO

I would advise anyone to wait until their baby is born to go buying up to big on nappies....babies come in different shapes and sizes..eg thighs are chunkcy, or as Mel said skinny and long so not every nappy is oging to suit. Many people tend to get prefolds or the old fashion 'flannels' for the first 4-6 weeks until they see what their babies will fit into

BUT bewarned...once the MCN bug has hit...watchout
