I have been using cloth nappies on my youngest now for 19 months and have had no regrets whatsoever.I started off using Mothercare Smart nappies available here. I found them great for the earlier months and very economical, but I wanted something a bit fancier and more substantial for 6 months plus. So I chose Itti bitti.Thes are stylish and economical, as you can buy extra pads.

I also used some 2 part nappies, my favourite of which were bamboo.

As our youngets approached 13 months, she began to take off her nappies, a really annoying problem that disposables don't solve! I just switched to a poppered wrap. My favourite being starbunz.

As you can see, they are really cute and have different designs!

As our youngest has got older, she has started to soak her nappies and I have found this is where pocket nappies come into their own. You can stuff them with extra stuffing, as required and that can be anything, from an old towel to a microfibre pad.

I like these, and you can get seconds for as low as £4 without inserts Baby kind on the bargains.

Many people feel they can't use cloth for night time, but ours sleeps in hers for 12 hours and she is still dry in the morning. I use Bumgenius version 3 birth to potty and I just add a little extra stuffing.

All this is no extra work really, as I put the outers in one lidded bucket, the inner parts in another and soiled in another. Every 3 days I wash, but I put the inners and soiled on a pre rinse first and then wash at 30 degrees with Tots Bots Potion. Then line dry. Couldn't be simpler and I can rest assured knowing we are helping care for the evironment and no nasty chemicals are in them.
