to loathe the cloth nappy brigade and

[conniedescending]

this nappuchino bolleaux

Both of mine were 'sposie wearing puree monsters

I did BF for ages though and may have raved about it a lot bit occasionally

Bought a moon cup, could not get on with it though. Now, THERE'S a weirdo brigade! :o

..and the study that showed cloth not to be better environmentally was a steaming pile of horse poo that presumed everyone washed them at 90 degrees, tumble dried and ironed their nappies. and didn't use them for more than one baby.

Horse poo.

so it's bad if you use cloth nappies as all the washing is bad for the envionment - and using disposables is also bad for the environment. so they cancel each other out and are equal!!

it is the smuggery yes

and then there seems to be all these weird tie dye knitted things that go over the gigantic bums - called longies and shorties

wtf is that all about

and the names

bumgenius, woolalishous, minki, wee notions

there is lots to loathe about cloth nappies

Hear hear Edgar and octo

...whereas mine were bought second hand, have served for all three dc & will shortly be passed on to a MNer...

I am v smug about the ££££s I have saved, but I don't go round nappuchino-ing. What a peculiar idea.

No Astra, no. It's not the same. These things are quantifiable, and cloth nappies win, it's a fact. Fine that people have a choice, but it really has been evaluated.

Meh, Connie, you just sound a little bitter to me.

anyone want to take me to a coffee shop and try to get me to buy more cloth even though you'll be wasting your time as I have more nappies than you can shake a toddlers bum at and only my third and final baby to wear them is more than welcome.

Mine's a Chai Latte.

seems mandatory to drive a 4x4 when you go to a nappuchino - hence cancelling out any potential environmental edge

Tbh most cloth-enthusiasts I have come across are more likely to be driving a hybrid.

I EBF
I use (second hand!) cloth
I wear a sling
I use a mooncup
I BLW

HOWEVER I do NOT judge, nor preen, nor get all smuggety.

But then you must totally hate me, so I will blow you a raspberry!! (organic, natch)

(I dont have a 4x4 though! OR attend nappucinos (WTF???) )

I have never posted about nappies before on MN. The inflammatory OP made me want to extol their virtues.

I am a strange mixture of wanting and not wanting to know what belonging to the jam sponge brigade involves, especially as it's in the same phrase as moon cup.

I also have never been invited to a nappuchino. Perhaps I am not in the brigade after all.......

i've known people who do the nappuchino thing it's hardly satanism

I avoided all the nappy nonsense and just went straight to litter trays with mine.

oh mintareo you mentioned slings

the sling brigade irriate me too

'babywearing' [vom]

and the slings have weirdy names too

mei tai etc

Bah - cloth nappies are for people who have babies that can't poo in every single one (of a dozen!) that you have in less than a day....

God bless weaning which has it down to once a day, and EC (albeit the wuss version where he wears a nappy all the time which I take off to put him on the potty) which means that that single poo is never in a nappy (although we still have to work on peeing)

I couldn't really afford the expense of full time disposable use! I do use them occasionally though.

I haven't found sticking a load of nappies on every couple of days too much of a burden either

Have treated myself to a couple of lovely Itti Bittis, but the term "fluffy post" made me roll my eyes a bit.
