I used cloth nappies too. Don't forget to buy some thin fleece to put inside the nappy to wick the moisture away. I then used to put a nappy liner on top of it to catch poo. I bought some of the local market and cut it up into usable size pieces.
I also bought some cheap terry which I used instead of baby wipes. I bought a small spray bottle and made up my own liquid to spray (although you can of course just use water). Mine was almond oil, tea tree oil (one drop), water, tiny drop of weleda bath lotion. It lasts for ages and is so much cheaper. Also the tea tree oil is a natural antibacterial and the almond oil makes the skin lovely and soft.
In the wash (I washed mine separately on 60 degrees), I would add a splash of white wine vinegar which is a natural antibacterial agent. Once a month I would blast the nappies on 90 degrees. Watch that your wraps don't get mixed up as it'll spoil them.
I had a mix of BTP and sized. I found the Motherease BTP the best and I loved their wraps too. They kept their softness.
There are second hand nappy sites out there and now Ebay have relaxed their rules on selling/buying second hand nappies. They never allowed you to sell in the past but now they do.
I loved bamboo nappies. They are much more absorbent but they do take longer to dry. This is something to consider during the winter months.
If you can, dry them on the line. The sun will naturally bleach them, especially if they are already white.
Can't think of anything else at the moment but I'm sure something will come to me later!
