Reusable nappies?

[lockdownbabyx]

What are peoples thoughts? I'm almost 13 weeks and just been looking into them. Mainly as a way to keep costs down and of course they're better for the environment!

I personally don't know anyone that uses them so really curious to hear people's opinions, plus maybe recommendations on what brand to use?

Thanks all x

Loved my cloth nappies and I'm using again this time around. Much to my surprise my favourites were old fashioned terry squares with motherease wraps over the top in the day time and wool shorts at night. I had a 10lb baby and started using them at 3 weeks. I have a few all in ones for ease of changing out and about but I bought second hand so it was cheap. I know I've saved money which was my main motivation. We stupidly used disposable pull ups after potty training just for night times and it drives me crazy how expensive they are and having to remember to buy them.

Thank you for the insights we’ve started looking at options too because we used to go through so many nappies in the every days and soon we’ll have two so I’m dreading it.

I use cloth nappies, they are honestly really easy if you get the right ones for your lifestyle and that fit your baby well. We have used cloth from birth apart from hospital stay, and the odd emergency disposable when needed.

I really recommend The Nappy Lady website and Youtube channel. Loads of info and advice and they do a questionnaire to advise on best type for you.

I think they are ace. Check it you have a local nappy library that can lend you a kit and see if your local council does freebies or discounts. There are so many different types it's difficult to know which ones will work for you and be a good fit for your baby
