This will be our first baby, due in July and I'm looking for some advice on reusable nappies.
I have researched brands cost etc and it seems to be the way forward. Less chemicals, less landfill waste and cheaper in the long run.
But I'm worried I may be setting myself up for a fall. I mentioned reusables to my Mum and she had to contain a smirk / giggle and said "see how you go on with disposables for the first month or so..."
I'm trying to be realistic, from what friends have told me I can't begin to understand the tiredness / zombie like state I will be facing when baby is here. I wonder if I would be taking too much on with new baby and all the stress that brings combined with loads of extra washing and drying of all the nappies. I don't want to fork out approx 350 to find I just can't be arsed to use them and end up sending OH to supermarket.
I don't know anyone who has actually used them, so has anyone had experience of disposables and are they more trouble than they are worth?
