I reduce, re-use, recycle, don't drive, use charity shops, never throw food away,
you name it I try to do it but,refuse to fold toilet roll origami style to be practical and economical, and refuse to teach my DD to do so......

Oh and with a family of four, a roll a day is not extravagant is it? [hopeful emoticon]

I can't say I'll be swapping to a family cloth any time soon BUT
with a well balanced diet, and not too much meat, one shouldn't have too much excess to wipe off.
If your poo is very sticky, tis a sign your diet needs adjusting.....
I read that somewhere!

I was doing the weekly shop online with Waitrose Deliver, and was amused to see that my search for "bog roll" worked.

We buy Tesco value loo roll, and when I order it online the description always makes me laugh:

"Tesco Value Toilet Tissue 12 Roll 2400 Sht"

It's good, but not that good!

Well my DS ate a lot more than carrots...and never smushed up (blw) so his poos were definatly rather adult-like, especially after about 18 months when he started eating more food than bm and got his molars so was actually chewing food.

What I would say though is not to go straight into doing family cloth for both #1's & #2's. Try it for just #1's for a while...once you get used to the nice soft cloth rather than the horrible scratchy paper it's hard to go back...even if you buy the good stuff.

Oh OK. Pass that on to DS will you, cos he's flouting the nice poo rules.

Cloth nappies do not need to be soaked in sterilser (in fact my specifically say that they should not be).

I share with my brother and he appears to use an immense amount, and I thought I was bad, think we're using a roll every other day.

I don't think it is that different tmmj. Babies start doing proper poos long before they are out of nappies.

well yes nappies get scraped if there's a big log on them - but that doesn't clean all the poo off.....just how much poo do you think there is when you wipe? It's not like your crapping on the cloth LOL

...and no I didn't soak my nappies - I don't think I know of anyone who does these days.
