new to MCN's - not sure where to begin?

Hi,

I realise there is a heap of information on bellybelly, but still I'm a little confused where to begin with buying MCN's. I did do a little research last time I was pregnant (but can't remember what I found - silly baby brain:lol:), as I had planned to use cloth with my 1st baby, but let people talk me out of it saying how hard it would be :rolleyes:. I've now come to realise (now my son is 15months old) that I made a mistake :doh:, as should have gone with my initial plan.

So I'm 4months pregnant now, and this time I am definitely going cloth, but I feel a little confused where to look. Last time I researched, I found it hard to find anywhere that I could actually look at them, as most I found where online purchases. My plan is that I would like to buy in bulk - whilst I have the money - and I was also thinking I could use them (the bigger ones) for my son now until he is toilet trained. So my questions are:- Is that possible? So where do I begin to look? What brands are recommended? Where can I go looking and comparing? Even leading me to some other threads that you think will easily answer my questions (cause there is alot of info on bellybelly - i just don't know which one is revelant to me, sorry - I get very confused lately :doh:).

Thank you for your help.
