These tips are really good! Thank you.
I'm fairly frugal, but have given in to buying a stash bit by bit. My tips are:
If you are changing from disposables to cloth summer would have to be the best time to do it. This is because you can have loads of nappy free time, and drying time is shorter, so you don't need too many nappies to begin with.
Start out with what you already have, if you have flats or on old towel handy start with these & experiment a little. Fleece liners are really good with terry.. maybe that old fleece jumper that was going to the salvo's can be cut up for your experiment? An old towel & old fleece jumper, can make your first fleece cover and absorbant insert topped with fleece to keep bub dry.. too cheap.
Knitting is awsome. Nana's are wonderful (well mine is, at sending me soakers and longies)
Check out this thread for great ideas.. I wish I had when I was starting.
I've found woolen soakers almost brand new at op-shops, hunt the bargains.
Socks with holes in them can be made into leg warmers easily by cutting a hole in the toe area, great for night time nappy changes or no nappy backyard time. I still love baby legs though for going out.
Thanks for sharing all these frugal tips, just too cool.
