Just a nosy question really as I think I am developing an addiction    
Oh and what do you like best and why? I have a selection of Wigglebums, itti AIOs and a growing number of Bib and Tucker (LOVE them!) and a Monkey Doodlez swim nappy. I love them all and have just purchased one of those close parent pop in ones for night. It hasn't arrived yet but I've only read good things about them. I really really don't need anymore but now that I've started buying I can't seem to stop Case in point - I bought 3 nappies today, and 3 yesterday as well as a couple earlier in the week. Whose bright idea was online shopping? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Bahahaha it's possibly all my fault and I'm not sorry 
I have almost 90 nappies counting my newborn and small stash for #2 I should really take a photo of them all together!

Holy heck! Is there really that much saving then if you have that many Weegee?!
I have 17 (2 are homemade though and crap). 15 BG 3.0's and I don't see a need for more as only have 1 child in them (only had 2 in them for 3 months). |

Hmmm I have been trying to work that out but keep getting interupted...
Small/NB = 16 Medium = 42 Large = 10 Total = 68 Hmmm I REALLY dont need anymore LOL except a swim nappy
Over half of mine have come second hand from other OB mummies though..... I have not paid full price for a single nappy.. bargain hunter But yeah still will be cheaper than 2 in sposies  -------------

Oh gawd - I have approximately 9 honeychilds (recently sold off 13) Couple of Itti Bittis, an ecobubs wool pocket (which I'm not too keen on)
Rest are homemades by me - they are by far my favourite as I've adjusted certain patterns to fit DD perfectly. At a rough estimate I have about 50 - and enough fabric to make up another 40 odd 
Minky pockets are my favourite, I'm caught the minky bug and there's no going back

I have made about 24 nappies (not counting the ones I've made for other people), but half of those are newborn size for the proverbial next bubba lol. DD has outgrown 7 of the ones I've made for her so am now in the process of making size large ones, so in the meantime am using flats as well and have approx 40 of those hehe. Also have one honey child, one yoyo, one ecobubs wool pocket for night and one little buttons popnap for night as well.
Oh and we did have over 20 OSFA's from trademe which I liked but had to sell them once I got my sewing machine to justify needing to make some
ETA and 2 swim nappies ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've got real nappies prefolds for newborn size - and just got some more off trademe that are medium sized, and am trying to get some small ones at the moment. I also have 15 Kushies - that I got when pg and not actually that keen on them, but they work. I have two peapod pockets that are my favs and work well overnight. I also have six bamboo yoyos that I got when pg !
I want more peapod pockets I think... they are so cute and snug! I used one last night with a hemp insert that came with one of the yoyos, and it seemed to work even better than the bamboo peapod inner (it was still drying ;p). Anyway - I want more! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Gosh what a lot of nappies. I have 19 large ittis and 4 eco bubs for night.
In storage for (coughs) number two I have 20 mediums which DS has finished with. I am using cloth to save so just use the minimium required. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I've just bought 7 more on TM today...
In addition to the itti 6-pack and the 2 honeychilds I'm waiting for in the mail... And the 2 foxybots, 3 bitti boos and 5 nappies from tweedle I've received in the last 3 days 
But, in my defence, I have to return the Oh Baby hirekit tomorrow, so I needed some more smalls, and decided I may as well get all my mediums at the same time
I'll just ignore all the prefolds and the handful of other MCNs I already had in addition to the hirekit! Hehe, and they are all so cute, I've converted at least one of the other mums in my antenatal group, as well as the plunket co-ordinator and the local childbirth educator  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

20 would be enough jacobs mummy.. you could easily wash every 2-3 days (10-15 nappies in the wash and 5-10 clean to be used) -------------

Hi, i have a 3 month old- what have u found to work best at nites on ur babies for no leaks - -------------

We have found that an Ecobubs Wool night nappy (J is in Mediums atm) with one microfibre insert and one or two flat nappies stuffed in it does the trick. Very bulky though. We have just tried a Bitti Boo with a Thirsties waterproof cover and I have to say I am very impressed. Very trim and very absorbent. No leaks at all so far. I think we will continue with these rather than buy large Ecobubs. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
