I second what AJP said! Council By laws. And it is much easier to get poop off a cloth nappy under running water/ little squirt than it is a disposable!
We tried terry squares with DS and I admit we gave up after 6mths of going through 20+ nappies a day. This was before I knoew about the magic of modern cloth.
With DD we used terry squares with modern cloth covers (breathable and wrap around not like the pilchers from K-mart) then got into the pockets and AIO. We stared part-time with 5 mcn and 121 terries and I washed each night and put them in the dryer while she slept in disposables. By 4 mths we were fully cloth during the day and some nights and by 8-10mths fully cloth. I can count the number of disposables we have bought on one hand. Sometimes for travelling although we usually use cloth once we reach our destination and now we are using them at night as DD isn't the best sleeper and did seem to become uncomfortable with a wet bum at night but we are hoping to go back into night nappies once we are out of the habit of waking up at night.
I love our clothies, according to Australian Nappy Netwrk it takes 4mins extra a day to use cloth vrs disposables and generally doesn't use that much extra water as we wash DD nappies with her clothes (after a quick rinse). They are super cute and so much better for their skin and overall health.
