I used cloth with my daughter and will definitely use them with number two as iv kept them! The 'Flip' was by far easiest and couldnt recommend them enough for beginners. Easy, dry quickly (if you use the microfibre inserts), not overly expensive system to buy as covers&inserts can be swapped/reused.
Cloth is a bit daunting when you've never used it, but its easy once its just your routine. I had the nappies made up in a basket so it was just like reaching for a sposie.
I wont use cloth in the beginning as the meconium poo is a nightmare. And i will use the eco sposies at night as never found a night nappy that worked for us. But on a whole if you cant be bothered to do a nappy wash you can fill in gaps with sposies. Some cloth is better than no cloth, and then when you're more confident with using them you wont want to use sposies as you realise the rashes/ chemicals/gel beads that end up on babys skin and how much more natural cloth is for your babys skin. Theres some scary components in disposables, one of which they removed from ladies tampons due to it being linked to toxic shock syndrome.
I used to work for my council doing the demo packs so if anyone wants to ask any questions feel free.
I think its fantastic you ladies are considering cloth already!!
