Environmenally friendly nappies
Hi ladies,
Just wondering if anyone has in the past or is planning to use non disposible nappies? I would really like to try them but not really sure what the options are. Is anyone else considering this?:\?

think the starter pack includes the nappies, liners, safety pins, soaking solution. There wouldn't be enough in there to last very long, but it would at least be enough to let you see if they're worth investing in.
and of course they'd do for any other babies you go on to have after this one as well, so def more economical if you're planning more than one!
There's no obligation to buy but i'd really recommend it as a starting point as a way of wading through the options! There's too many cute looking real nappies out there - but 'cute' wont stop leaks!

Its well worth talking to one of these lollipop people.. the one I'm gonna see was full of useful advice- she recommended 18 nappies as a starter so that you didn't need to wash every day and i think thats what we've got so far - I've been bargain hunting on ebay over the last 6 weeks or so and have probably spent somewhere between ??100 - ??150 on nappies and wraps - all at cheaper than shop prices.. and if you aren't fussy about new stuff like I am you can get 2nd hand or prewashed but not used nappies even cheaper on ebay.
has anyone tried them?

so thanks for the babycentre link - i've been debating the nappy issue for ages, and that might have solved it for me!!
All the advice I've had has been against buying one of those birth to potty packs as if that particular type of nappy doesn't work for you its a huge expense - I've gone for a variety to try out - got some birth to potty ones and some size one - they all look so different that i'm hoping most of them will do from newborn for a good while - got a couple of onelife ones from ebay and they look like they'd be a bit bulky for a newborn but they look really nice and soft and comfy.
??75, so not too expensive. will need to buy more than that, but want to see what they're like first.
I'll let you all know how it goes.
anyone else decided?
I was expecting to have to pay a fortune and was worried that if I don't get on very well it will be a waste of money, but I found a pack of 12 nappies with 3 covers at my local NCT sale for ??14. They had been washed but never used - bargain! I also came across some of the Tommy Tippee Cotton Bottoms wraps in my local pound shop so brought some of these too as they are almost the same as the bambino mio ones.
