Before Miss Berry started solids we were using cloth nappies about 90% of the time. With the introduction of solids it became a bit too much to bear and I have been using disposables all the time. I am now beginning to work my way back up to using cloth nappies.Here is our collection of different brands of cloth that we are using now:
My favourite brand is Tot Bots and they are the covers I use. I also have some second-hand Mother-ease one size nappies that are really good. There are 2 different types of liners in the photo; the biodegradable Eenee and some home made silk liners.
It really isn’t any harder to use cloth nappies rather than disposable, you just need to get your head around it. They are fitted nappies so they are worn just like a disposable and you don’t need to soak them or use a hot wash. And of course line drying them will anti-bacterial-ise them.
So, I just need to be aware of using the cloth nappies instead of automatically reaching for a disposable. Also, I think starting small will help the transition. I am aiming to use 2 cloth nappies each day and then increase that number over the next few weeks.
Here are some pics of my girl modelling her new nappy cover. As you can see it isn’t too bulky – but it is super cute!
She is sitting on a pack of disposable nappies. Does this represent the triumph of cloth nappies over disposable?

Just found your blog and I must say, I'm finding it interesting and a pleasure to read. Kudos to you for trying to live in a more sustainable manner. I guess we all need to learn to change some of our ways.
