Anyone come to cloth late?

[aimee-lou]

Hi all,

Earl is 10.5 months old and since he was born I've always wanted to use cloth for him and any future. Life took over, we've moved house, had illnesses and money troubles and I've never been able to get them bought.

I've got some more time and money soon and I'm considering getting them to start using them. Has anyone else done this? I'm thinking that even though it's a bit late in the day, I'll still be able to use them for future LO's so they wont be a waste. Plus, with Earl being a boy, potentially we've still got 2 years in Nappies (Eeek! ) so they'll get plenty of us! lol

Anyone else?

Thanks in advance.

I didnt get around to starting cloth with Aisling until she was 9 months old and it was definitely worth it

Excellent - thanks for the re-assurance!

I think we'll be investing soon - I'm so excited and already looking at lovely fleeces to make wraps on my machine lol.

Yeay! We borrowed 2 cloths when G was 10 months and by 1 year we had bought enough to go full-time

Yes definitely worth it - in fact its's a good time, as you'd probably be moving up a size now, even if you'd done it from birth!

We started at 11 months, going full time about a week ago x

We started early, then had a break for several months, then came back to it Definitely not too late for Earl to become a fluffy bum!

we started just before we started weaning, just before 6 months really, has been full time cloth for nearly 2 months, id say its definitely worth it! as you say, still a while in nappies to go!

Hey hun I started 2 or 3 months ago So well over a year old, but am pg with number 2 so weighed up the costs etc.... xx

Ooh, this thread has made me want to start Lucas on cloth now! I've always been quite envious but I thought it was too late to start now, and he's only four months

How do you even go about starting off?

 

[jms895]

Use the nappy trade and sell on here Also ebay, CNT if you dont mind a few pre-loved to build up a good amount xx

I'm just starting james and he's 7 months. I'm the same as you, only just got round to it, for a start he's only recently started sleeping more than 30 mins a go so I feel like I've got some energy! Plus they don't change as much at this age so I'm thinking easier on the washing!
