 Topic: Nappies

Who in your house made the decision on what nappies you were going to use/buy in your house.
Both of us
In our place we talked together on the pros and cons of all naps and then went to the P&C expo and looked at all the cloth. Because we were going to spend so much money we talked and looked at everything. And in the end we went for cloth.

I mostly did. DH told me from the beginning that he won't have an opinion and it should be my choice since I will be doing the bulk of the nappy changing. But when I decided what I thought we should go with I showed him and told him why etc. He's happy with my choice to go with MCN's

at the end of the day it is the choice of the person who uses them most - and in our house that is me... like any good husband mine just shut his mouth and let me make the decision and supported me.

It was my choice I asked DP but he said it was up to me b/c it's my department apparently.

We happily went with disposibles, until I realised MCN were out there and also how much we were spending on disposibles all up with 2 children in nappies. Once I showed Nat the alternatives, we decided together to get a hirekit, then he made the final decision to go cloth.

So so far a few DP have had some sort of input in nappies.
I was hoping I wasn't the only one.

I wanted to do cloth. Not a big thing in SA but have a forum buddy that has her own company. I am ooming and aahing about going cloth for the next one but will then buy hers as I found them to be a lot cuter and more economical as well.
Hubby didnt wanted to go cloth and in the end we went with disposables. In SA I only used Pampers. Quite sad they dont have it here. With next one we will see. I am ooming and aahing but I guess we will do disposables again although I am tempted to do EC with the next child so we will see.

So he had a bit more say in what you used?

We went with disposables in the beginning, as we were having enough trouble keeping on top of the washing we already had and after I got on my feet with that, Hubby encouraged me to go cloth.
We only knew about flats and pins though, and it didn't really last long as Ella was a heavy wetter and each change required new clothes too.
Once I found out about the MCNS through this site there was no looking back! (Although I wonder if hubby regrets his cloth enthusing now that I am such a nappy addict?!)

We both agreed to go for MCN's while I was pregnant, then I chose the brand and amount we'd need, and it was my decision to use disposables for Ella in the first 4 weeks or so. Hubby also thought cloth flats were the way to go (when he found out how little they cost) but I said no way.
...then, we both felt we'd prefer to stick with the 'sposies after using them for a bit, but still were both considering MCN's for the future. I tried some MCN's on Ella and wasn't happy with the fit, and when hubby put his foot down about us never owning a clothes dryer, I said screw the idea of cloth naps if we can't have a dryer as a back-stop over winter - we're sticking with disposables!

It's not so much about the type or why you choose the nappies that I want to know, allthough interesting.
It's more on how much input your DP had on your choice.
Thanks everyone, keep it coming.

We're going to be using cloth with our baby.
It was definately input from both of us, though I did the market research first and then told DH all about it, showed him pictures etc. From memory he was keen from the beginning. If he was really anti it would have definately changed things a bit, as we like to make decisions together.

As with all matters to do with Caitlin it was totally a joint decision and have found the same to be true when selling the nappies (decision made by both Mum & Dad) at the demos both are equally as interested.
Am wondering where you're going with this topic?

You just wanna see how feisty we are Rug 
I was introduced to FB, DH wasn't there, I did the figures and ran it by him. Whenever we spend over $50 we always run it by the other person first so that's what I did. DH didn't have much of an opinion at the time, except that he didn't want to deal with pins.

It's nothing bad, it's just a bit of a poll.

Mine had none. He has no interest in what the kids are wearing, unless it's black and white striped babylegs with an I love anarchy T-shirt and a black berry plush nappy. Besides, he does what he's told
I'd like to know what you're going to do with this info tho....
