I know there's been a bit of discussion about cloth nappies before with people trialing different ones. Just wondering if you had any advice about which ones you've found to be the best? I'd like to give them a go but there seems to be so many different types & brands I don't know where to start!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

the nappy network is a site that has reviews of all diff types of nappies, among other stuff.
http://www.thenappynetwork.org.nz/ - the nappy network i have a 6 mth old and a 2 yr old and i prefer pockets for the 2 yr old (i use fuzzi bunz and rosies fleece pockets) and for the younger i use prefolds and covers and at night i have a rosies all in one and a snazzipants fitted, but havent developed a preference for either one yet. i will bump up the cloth nappy discussion on here for you too. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

For an older kidlet I like fuzzibunz pocket nappy. Have tried a few other pockets and they didn't really stack up.
I think Aimee and Ana, with young babies, are using fuzzibunz as well. It really is a trial and error thing. Possibly organise to go to a Nappicino so that you can see the different types out there and talk about what is best. They organise them through the nappy network |

I used plain old cloth squares. Am fascinated by all the new fancy things - makes it feel like 100 years ago that Maya was in nappies! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

lol Emma - did you have to grind the flour to make her bread too? 
All these new fangled nappies a bit too much! I have no idea what the other systems are all about. I stuck with good old simple pocket nappies. |

Hehe Emma, that makes me giggle!!
I use prefolds and overnaps from Real Nappies. I have found them fab, no leaks etc. And because they pop easily on like disposables it is easy to convince Andy to change a nappy!! ------------- Anna and Quinn 10 July 2004 www.quinnariki.blogspot.com and one more on the way.... http://lilypie.com">

Thanks guys. Sounds as though fuzzibunz are one of the more popular ones. I think I'll order a trial pack to test once baby arrives. The modern cloth nappies just look so much easier to use than the old type which always seemed really bulky & prone to leakage!! I love the way these ones seem to be fitted & easy to use. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

rachael, my jack was born with dislocated hips too. i was planning to use cloth but he was put in a pavlik harness so it was so much easier to use disposables.
am looking into fuzzibunz etc for bubs#2 but it is all sooo confusing!   ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">
