Why did you go cloth? (if you have)

Willie is at the point where he is making me sell stuff to buy nappies Not that he is worried about the $$$, since it's MY $$$ I'm spending, he's more worried about the babies ending up buried in nappies

I started using them because of the cost & because I thought it would be better for the environment. Now I am totally addicted - they are just so much cuter than disposables! And just as easy to use. (In fact I reckon they are easier than sposies for getting solids off into the loo afterwards) Plus I love the fact that I don't have stinky nappies sitting in the bin for a week!

SMoody - when Hannah was 2 months old I spent $250 on 6 Fuzzis and inserts. These fit for around 10 months - so less than $7 a week. Even when I add in the washing powder and a load of washing (cold) and line dried, its still way cheaper than disposables plus rubbish.

I was spending $15-20 a week on disposables so I figured after 4 months, the Fuzzis were saving me money.

So when she was one I bought 6 larges which she will fit until toilet training - so these ones have already paid for themselves, plus I can reuse them all for any other kids.

Oh and Toni to answer your question, I started because of the cost and also environmental conscience.

nzpiper - Swaddlebees are always going to look small as they are a super trim nap. In saying that, I barely ever advise anyone to get a small size as they are in them for such a short amount of time that the cost of buying a set of naps is barely worth it... but that's just my opinion.

Definitely the cost factor and also loving all the different funky patterned naps avail now

I have bought them mainly cos they look cute!! And for the cost savings, especially over 2-3 kids but also becuase we can spend all the money up front now while I'm working, so if money is tight later on down the track at least its one less thing we will need to purchase each week. I'm not a greenie, but I do feel like it is the "right" thing to do.
And stinkie rubbish doesn't appeal either!

We got medium for taine at three months, still using those. mainly got them to save money. wasn't planning on getting any for Jake until we realised if we bought 6Ls and spread the payment over 3 months it would cost $60, we were spending $65 a month on disposables. easy peasy! Also, lovely not to have to look through the cupboard and go "oh dear...whose running out to the service station to buy some more nappies at 3am"
