   Hi everyone I have just had my 4th baby and would love to use cloth but am finding it just so daunting.  I have never used them before and just don't know where to start.  I don't know how to wash them or use them    Any help would be great, thanks    |

   Hi and congrats on having your 4th baby!!
 First question - have you purchased any cloth nappies yet?
 
 Washing them is really easy.  You do a rinse cycle first, a normal wash, then line dry in the sun.
 
 I have a toll free number at Scamps Boutique if you wish to talk to someone about everything :)

   i made this  thread a while ago, Limo, might get some info out of it.
 I think i pretty much said my bit in the other other thread, i'm still getting my head around it all but its been way way way way easier then i expected.

   Honestly its so easy, most dads (grandparents aunties uncles......) can do it.
 Just buy a couple that people most recommend like itti bitti's, fuzzi buns, a prefold and cover set. try them out and go from there. Most places come with instructions about how to use and wash. It'll take a bit of practise,
 All mums start off not knowing a thing about cloth and learn from trial and error.
 
 And if those nappies don't work, shove them on TM!!

   It's crazy easy! Specially if you get something like itti bitti all-in-ones, which might be a good one to start on if you're nervous. You just put them on like a disposable, when they're dirty you take them off and rinse them out and pop them in the washing machine. Couldn't be simpler, and they look so cute and fuzzy    |
