with my motherease.
I have a confession, i havent used my cloth nappies for about 3 months.
I have 2 children in cloth f/t ages 16 months and 29 months and my 3 year old just uses one at night.
I am dreading the workload of getting them washed and dried etc but i need to crack it again as my kids hate huggies!!! (and pampers or whatever they are wearing), i also need to save money--shopping bill creaping up and up!!
help me fall in love with cloth again and remind me why its so amazing

it is easier when the sun shines!
Have you got an outside line?
I try and wash at night so that the nappies are ready to go out first thing.
Get a big jam jar and put what you would spend on disposibles in a jar each week so you can see your savings and then have a nice family day out or treat with what you have saved.
Is it the washing that bothers you or is it the Motherease nappies?

Pampers give nappy rash. You will save about 70% compared to disposables. The different colours are quite fun. Don't give up.

Why not have a go at potty training - with the warm weather stick them outside with the potty, enlist the help of the 3 year old to show them how to use it, reward well with praise and/or sweets and see how you get on.

If boys, get a bowl of water and a ping pong ball - draw a face on it, or buy Max Balls, and get them to aim at it.

Once down to one in nappies then it's going to be a breeze,.
