Cloth Diapers

wow you got quite the stash there - fantastic!

And well, she can take herself to the toilet now so no dramas but after the 6mth mark, less milk, more cereal and more solid food improved things when she was little as she wouldnt take the lactose free formula and human milk obviously contains lactose
 
I used cloth for my two sons...half a century ago...so my advice is non existent and I'm not even sure disposable ones existed then.

Years later, I wanted used cloth diapers for cleaning/dusting rags when I moved back to the US. A friend and I spent half a Saturday in a big suburban community, driving like maniacs from yard sale to yard sale yelling "Any cloth diapers?" and sometimes getting a "No but we have ...bottles, high chairs etc etc" It was a fun day and a got a good load of new 'rags' cheap!
 
I used "g diapers" with my daughter. I would have continued to use them, but hubby didn't want to clean them, so he refused. My mom did use them when my daughter was at her house (like baby sitting) and I would have used them more had we been tighter on money at the time. I did not attempt with my son... it was just one more thing I couldn't handle at the time, sadly. He didn't fit into the ones my daughter had, and I wasn't spending money on more. I would definitely look into doing it again, though, if we ever decide to have another.
 
My girls are 30 and 32. I only used cloth diapers for burp cloths.

Here's why - my husband holds a patent (although it belongs to his employer) on refastenable tapes on the disposable diapers. That means we got all the free diapers that we needed.
 
Daughter-One was in traditional white cloth nappies because that was the norm back in the early 90s in New Zealand. If you left hospital within a day or two of having the baby, you got a couple of weeks free nappy-washing service. Then we just got on with it and didn't even think about it. Daughter-Two (in England eight years later) was a different story and was in disposables.

I think the new cloth nappies look great and I KNOW if my eldest ever had a baby that's what she would use. :-)
