Hi everyone I have just had my 4th baby and would love to use cloth but am finding it just so daunting. I have never used them before and just don't know where to start. I don't know how to wash them or use them  Any help would be great, thanks  -------------

Hi and congrats on having your 4th baby!!
First question - have you purchased any cloth nappies yet? Washing them is really easy. You do a rinse cycle first, a normal wash, then line dry in the sun. I have a toll free number at Scamps Boutique if you wish to talk to someone about everything :) |

i made http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36660&KW=Bowie - this thread a while ago, Limo, might get some info out of it.
I think i pretty much said my bit in the other other thread, i'm still getting my head around it all but its been way way way way easier then i expected. |

Honestly its so easy, most dads (grandparents aunties uncles......) can do it. Just buy a couple that people most recommend like itti bitti's, fuzzi buns, a prefold and cover set. try them out and go from there. Most places come with instructions about how to use and wash. It'll take a bit of practise, All mums start off not knowing a thing about cloth and learn from trial and error. And if those nappies don't work, shove them on TM!! ------------- Sarah Mum to, Boy 07/2008, Girl 03/2010, Boy 05/2012, Angel  07/08/2014

It's crazy easy! Specially if you get something like itti bitti all-in-ones, which might be a good one to start on if you're nervous. You just put them on like a disposable, when they're dirty you take them off and rinse them out and pop them in the washing machine. Couldn't be simpler, and they look so cute and fuzzy  -------------
