first day in cloth nappies

[Raven24]

well today is our first day on our cloth nappy adventure i have been putting it off cuz i was a bit scared but i managed ok i am using terry nappies and the moment and maybe we will move onto different ones if these go ok. it was a bit weird folding it but it went on him ok and he seems fine and he looked so cute in it untill i put the nappy cover on lol the ones i have are huge but they are tucked in so there shouldnt be any leaks.

Good luck! If you don't get on with terries, don't let it put you off trying other cloth. I think terries are harder and less absorbant than a lot of other cloth nappies but if you can manage that, you can manage anything.

good luck ladies! I loved using terries and only stopped when the fold I was using wasn't big enough to fasten him into any more. also at around 6 months he turned into a right little monster at nappy time and would not lie still - there was no way I could use a folded nappy now.

out of interest, which folds are you using?

good luck ladies! I was never brave enough to try terries, my LO was perhaps a little old to start trying them with her. think I will do next time though

well my grandparent bought me the terry nappies and tbh i didnt actually know there were any others out there untill i came on here lol but i think we'll be ok with them so long as he stops wriggling

I love terries! I reckon they're the most efficient of all! And you can use them tight from newborn through to potty. They make great inserts for pockets and great overnight boosters too. I love folding them and making a neat job of putting them on, and I love seeing them hanging them on the line! Loads of other uses as well!

I used to use the Jo/envelope fold. it worked great when he was tiny but after a few months I couldn't get the bits to meet round his waist.

How are you getting on with them?
