I have really lost the love for cloth at the moment ------------- Mum to Mr 10, Mr 6 and Mr 4

Probably the fact that the weather is so grotty and I am constantly trying to get either washing and or nappies dry. Im thinking a new nappy or 2 might enthuse me again! I would love to get rid of everything and just have itti bittis but I doubt I could convince DH on that one!Replies:

What nappies are you currently using? If you have pockets maybe you could just buy a few extra inserts so that when your outers are dry you can stuff them with your spare inserts rather than having to wait for the wet ones to dry? Or buy some extra inserts for your D'lish and you could just reuse the outers once each before washing so that you don't have quite so much washing to do? Or ignore the energy adds on TV and use your tumble dryer to help speed things up on wet days?

I love my cloth.. but totally sympathise on the washing thing... I have two a frames that are constantly full as well as the fire guard being covered in inserts !! Even tho its sunny outside, teh washing doesn't dry as its too cold (tho I've hung out my naps anyways to make use of the stain removal lol) !!

My mum swears by hanging nappies out on the line overnight to catch the frost - which she reckons is as good at stain removing as the sun! She had 7 kids in traditonal cloth nappies so I guess she's had some experience

| I know what you mean.....I'm getting so lazy that when I go out I throw a couple of sposies in the nappy bag rather than "assemble" a nappy off the fires guard where they permanently live these days....no way they would dry outside at the moment. |

Man I've so lost the love as well. I have them in them during the day but in huggies at night. I really need to get some more flushable liners for overnight.
Winter sucks. |
