Help- I'm officially a cloth nappy user!!

@ Millivanilli, yes, go figure, I mean why throw your money down the toilet and still wash cloth anyway. Just doesn't make sense.

LOL!! I find if you're going to be washing booster pads... you may as well wash a whole nappy

She would unfortunately be getting the worst of both worlds that way - having to spend thousands of disposables - just to throw them away - and to wash poopy booster pads - I just don't get it!

Amanda - I remember when I had my little boy, who was tiny, the premie nappies were Really expensive - almost made me want to cry! we moved him up to the newborns as soon as we could. I can't believe the tiniest nappies you can find are one of the most expensive you get...

A lady phoned me who was browsing on our website looking at the inner booster pads of the cloth nappies we sell. She said she didn't use cloth nappies but rather disposables and that they were leaking so someone suggested she put a cloth booster pad inside. I asked her that seeing as though she was going to have to wash and clean the boosters everyday why she didn't consider perhaps just using the whole nappy instead, her answer was that she didnt' want to give out that much money or have extra work. Now I ask you, is spending anything from R500 to no more than R3000 once off not better than spending R300 to R600 a month on disposables? Just doesn't make sense to me. Well, just had to share. It was just a rediculous conversation.

Ja well, that makes no sense lol!!!

I must just add that buying these prem nappies are heavy on the pocket! I don't know how "normal" disposable nappy parents do it. It is sooo expensive and you just throw it in the bin.... sigh...

When I was pregnant I bought a few packs of Huggies newborn nappies to get me through the first few weeks.... well little did I know that she'll probably be 5 months old before she can use them!

Vica is 11 weeks old today (3 days corrected age). Still so small

She's still too small. Her prem nappies are still a little big.

Here's a pic to demonstrate nappy sizes




Sorry about the marks on the cloth newborn nappy - Dieter got hold of it....

Thanks ladies, I also think she is cute ..... but then I'm allowed as aproud Mommy. Ha ha ha!! Capi I never thought of that but you are right !!

2KM - I also just don't get not using cloth. It just seems like such a no brainer but people are stubborn!!

@ Amanda, did you ever try the NB cloth nappy on Vica or is she still too small for it?
