Hello from a Newbie
Hi, my name is Kylie and I am mother to Harriet who is 9mths 3wks old. I have been reading your forums over the last two months whilst I was researching into using cloth nappies. I finally ordered some nappies - a mixture of fitted/covers and AIOs to see which ones suited us. I must admit that I am still using disposables at night and when we go out. I have started to use my new fitted nappies (Cuddlebuns from Vanessa at Cute Tooshies) on short trips out to increase my confidence before launching into cloth fulltime. Like many other mums the main reason behind switching is solely monetary - we are trying for another baby and the thought of two in disposables is frightening. I must say however that it is a little expensive at present using cloth as I have become addicted to buying cute nappies to put on Harriet's bottom!!

Re: Hello from a Newbie
Welcome Kylie!! Don't forget that the resale value of these nappies are also fantastic. So what you're spending now, you will recoup some of it later
 .Enjoy!

Re: Hello from a Newbie
Welcome Kylie,
it is so much more satisfying to buy lovely cloth than a pack of disposables! and while the initial outlay is more expensive in the long run it is soooo much cheaper plus the buzz of fluffy mail makes it all ok! some terry squares are useful for filling out a stash ~ if you've got good covers (which it sounds like you have) they work terrifically ~ we used them pretty much exclusively for 10 months

Hi Kylie!
Welcome to NC! I see you've had some expert help already! Good for you and it's easier than it seems!  I have a 9mo son who is 100% cloth nappied and it's been a fun learning curve all the way!! Enjoy.

Welcome Kylie, it's good to have you here.
And the trick to making cloth cheaper than disposables, is knowing when to stop buying. It's harder than it sounds.

Re: Hello from a Newbie
Hi Kylie,
Our bubs are the same age and I shudder to think what I would have spent on disposables by now. If and when number 2 comes along for us at least we can reuse some nappies. My usband sewed about 10 small fitteds and they are about to be used on their third bum so far!! Our friends just keep passing them around once their bub has outgrown them!
