OMG I have to buy sposies!!!!!
Caitlin is starting Day Care and I don't want to continue with the TTing until she has properly settled, I think it would be too stressful for her. Anyways - they won't do cloth!
So I have to buy about a months worth of sposies. We've used Huggies in the past but they are so expensive! But they are really good and I've heard all about the cheapies being "false economy" because you have to use more of them because they don't work as well. Any ideas what I could use and where I'd get them from? Thanks
P.S I can not believe that MCNs in a day care cause any more of a health issue than disposables! I've never heard such crap in all my life!

Must be your day care, mine doesn't have a problem with them at all...I guess it depends who is running the place...? BTW Treasures giggles are pretty good on our girl (though she's not a super wetter) but they're a good price. Good luck!

Personally I buy whatever is on special between Huggies and Treasures (although I prefer Huggies) which Foodtown and Countdown do on alternating weeks. $9.95 a standard pack is pretty good, but I stock up when they're $8.95 which is the cheapest you'll get either of them as well.. Haven't ever tried other brands apart from Giggles which were rubbish.

I use the budget, pams or tendersoft naps for Alize at daycare as they have a 2hour nappy changing policy. It works out great and I never have any prob with the naps. I use MCN at home and on the weekend. My daycare doesnt mind using cloth either but I just dont have the time to be fluffing around with nappies etc I have enough trouble chasing my girls around packing their bags CHeck their nappy changing policy Toni |

Yeah it varies from day care to day care....when we have to buy them we use Huggies, found they are the most reliable.

I feel your pain Toni mine is the same. I'm getting Giggles for Josh as they change them every 2 hours so he shouldn't wet through one in that time. |

We often have specials at Pak N Save for the Huggies bulk boxes (I forget how many nappies in box) for around $38.00 which I tend to buy when on special. When Ollie was at daycare though I just used the Pams nappies and they were fine but I prefer Huggies.

Hehehe. That's what we do at home but daycare it's regulated. At Gina's one, the policy is 2 hour changes too and they record the 'result' - either wet, dirty or dry (for nothing)

Have you tried talking to them about how easy mcns are to use? They may be thinking of old style nappies? Maybe you could do some convincing - maybe try talking to a different teacher about it?
I got so angry when I heard the head teacher in the under twos in my centre saying we don't accept cloth nappies! I was like, excuse me? What crap are you talking? Stupid woman. There is nothing in our policy to say that either, I think she'd just decided it on her own! We have children toilet training who wet and sometimes poo pants (as they do when they're toilet training) and they have to sit in a bag until the child is picked up, what's the difference?!
Sorry, makes me grumpy

ROFLMAO!!! I was sending Alize with huggies and he was going thru them so fast I mean they are really absorbant so dont nned to be changed that often unless soiled but at the DC their policy is nap change every 2 hours regardless if the nappy isnt that full if you get what I mean. Now he can wear a huggies nap form morning til lunch time and it still isnt that full but at DC they would have already changed him twice |

I did all of that. I even told the licencee that I wasn't impressed with it and that MCN's are so much more hygenic than sposies. Toni I have told my daycare Josh comes in a cloth and goes home in a cloth. They will store the 1 nappy that he comes in a small wet bag in his bag, if they want to change him as soon as he gets there that is their choice. And he muct be ready to come home in his cloth when I get there. |

urgh! daycares against cloth make me angry too!!! it's no different to a sposie!
anyhoo....our daycare also changes on a 2/3hr basis so i'd suggest getting a budget brand nappy. as caitlyn is TT'ing she most likely won't go in her nappy as often anyway. i find the budget brand good and also the cheapies you get from countdown (can't remember the name) they do both my kids overnight, which is generally 12-13hrs!!! $5-6 for a pkt

I can't believe that you have to supply your own nappies! In all the time that my older two were at daycare, I never had to supply a nappy!
Anywho, we buy a box of nappies for $55, from Nappies for Less, just around the corner from my house. |

I actually find budget right up there with the expensive ones. They have genrous sizing and Jack my kids can wear them to bed with no leaks. $5 a packet on special.
