go no, convert me!

(DOH! The title should read go ON, convert me, not go no convert me...hey ho)


I'm ready to become an addict.
Now that I am buying nappies for 2 kids I am so over it so am really keen to try some cloth nappies for my 4 month old boy but I really know nothing about them.

Please let me know what your fav nappies are when it comes to quick and easy and absorbency.
I am busy and lazy so I know I wont end up using them if they are fiddly to prepare and put on, just for Jeremy to leak right through as soon as my back is turned.
So ladies, I am sure you have answered this question heaps of times, but please do so again for me

YAY!!!
I really like pocket nappies as my favourite system and am a big fan of the one size nappies (Bumgenius, Haute, Mommy's Touch). Tweedle are a good, reasonably priced nappy made my a WAHM. Baby Harmony are good as well. Both of these WAHM's offer a discounted price for a trial nappy which is a good way to find a nappy that fits/works for you. Honey child nappies do too and there's lots of good reviews on them (haven't tried myself).
We personally find velcro nappies easier to fit on Kaleb - much quicker as he wriggles around and we've never had any leaks in them.
The good thing about pockets is you can use pretty much anything as the absorbant part - when we first started using them I didn't have enough actual inserts for my big wee'er so used facecloths as well. Flat nappies and prefolds are a favourite for many mums...
Hope I've been some help in converting you!

i love my pockets!!!    i have baby harmony and love them, have recently got a couple of tweedle ones but haven't tried them yet. peapods are also a great nappy and very cheap! you can check them out at baby factory $19.95   i love the hemp trifold inserts they come with!

i've used all in ones and they are easy to use but take alot longer to dry than pockets. haven't used fitteds but i've heard they are awesome for overnight. covers/prefolds are great too, cheap but can be fiddly to use especially on a wrigglebum.

have you checked out the snazzipants website for the comparison chart? it's a great place full of lots of info. the best way to learn about mcn though is too see them and talk to someone who uses them.

as teresa said, converting someone is the easy part! they are so much cuter than disposables and i can't wait for the warm weather to show off charli's cool naps

having 2 in disposables was enough for me to make the switch too!! way too much rubbish lying around and ALOT of extra $$$$

I have not long gone the MCN way. I have a few different ones and my fav would have to be Happy Heiny's OSFA (one size fits all) it will last till Rhyley is out of nappies and this I feel (IMO) is the cheapest way to go as you are not changing to the next size up. They come with 2 inserts as well (one small one large). I got mine from snazzipants. They don't have as big of a colour range (they also do normal pockets with more of a colour range)
As for leaks - you have to change them more often I found than disposables and getting the right insert for the nappie is a good idea too. Its a trail thing cause what insert works for one child doesn't mean its gonna work for the other.
So much fun though and you can over spend (Ann says as she looks at her ever growing pile of MCN's)and get addicted

Oh .. and I have Tweedles ... havent used them properly as yet but they look pretty cool

Yay Charlotte. You will soon be one of the MCN fan club as well
My favourite nappy would be the Fuzzis, especially the new honeychild ones. They are so cute and really easy to put on. I also find them the best fitting out of the not so small range of nappies I have been collecting. I have tweedles, berry plush, snazzipants AIO & OSFA Bumgenius nappies as well as the fuzzis/honeychild nappies.    I am hanging out for summer so that Samantha can go pants-less and show off the cute colours and patterns :)

Got it

I too cant wait for summer to show off his cloth botty
