how do i get into using cloth nappies?
I’m interested in using cloth nappies I’m a bit hazy on the different types i had a demonstration from a lady at tots bots and i liked the bamboo shaped nappy but i have found them to be a bit pricey, I’m also interested in using flat nappies but wondered how to actually use them, for instance do i need to use a booster and are they likely to leak as they don’t have elasticated leg bands
Tots Bots Bamboozles are great, especially for night time- but yes compared to flat nappies, they are pricey. Terry squares are a trusted oldie, and folding really isnt the nightmare most people anticipate. All you will need is a nappy cover, like these http://www.fill-your-pants.com/section/8/1/nappy-wraps for waterproofing. You might get some leaks at the legs at first with ‘newborn poop’, but a good fitting wrap will keep it contained.
Boosters may be used at night times- or if you are struggling to get them to last through the night, a couple of the Tots Bots might be worth the investment!
Another economical option is a one-size, like the bumgenius

Just remember, whatever type of cloth nappy you choose, youll still be saving mega bucks over disposables! So its a good choice!
