I am expecting my third and have used cloth all the time - except when been into hosp to have babies - used them when got home. Don't want to usedisps or set of btp nappies in - what would you recommend? Have thought about muslins/eenee snibs but not sure how effective muslins are or eenee snibs and some eenee compostable pads??

Its not for long - probably just a couple of days and don't want to use disps at all!

Any ideas please?

Take in a few terries and some nippas- get dh/ whoever to take them home for washing.

Enquire at the maternity unit what the policy is, though- our local place supplies terries for all NB babies- if Mum wants to use disps, she has to bring them in!

I bought the smallest Moltex size (from 6lbs I think), but my hospital provided nappies.

Depending on where you are, some hospitals are providing cloth nappies for newborns. I think it's only prefolds though so they can tie in with a laundry service.

I took cloth ones in (Motherease) and gave them to DH to take home.

The hosps here don't use cloth and need to take your own nappies - I love terries so may get some of those - always handy to have some!! - can't seem to find small/newborn moltex - will check with local suppliers again.
