Reusable Nappies and wipes

I currently have two children in nappies, my daughter who is 24lbs and 2 years 7 months and my son who is 14.5lbs and 7 months. Kit is your average 2 and a half year old, she is very near to potty training (although I haven't yet bitten the bullet) and what you would class as an 'average' wetter and Olly is a very active baby, crawling since the age of 5 months, he has bypassed the sitting stage and likes to cause mischief wherever he can! he is a very heavy wetter and rather tiny for his age, to give you a guide he is just going into 3-6 month sized clothes, a great bonus as I really feel as though I have had value for money with his clothes!

Over recent months I had begun to notice a change in the disposable nappies we were using, they had become less reliable and I had noticed both children were getting severe nappy rash, I searched around trying a few different brands and then noticed a friend on Facebook had posted pictures of her daughter in cloth  nappies. I am a sucker for things that are bright, cheerful and a little different but was slightly apprehensive as, like many other busy mums, I thought they would be very time consuming and fiddly so I sat down and spent some time researching all the different types of cloth.
My decision to switch to cloth nappies was set in stone the moment I realised how far they have progressed recently. Gone are the days when you would have to fold each nappy and then attempt to put it on a wriggly baby whilst the baby tried desperately to escape leaving you back at square one.
I was surprised and delighted to discover that you can even buy what is known in cloth world as an AIO nappy, it looks similar to a disposable, it's as easy to use as  disposable but, unlike a disposable it was made from the softest minky fabric and was rainbow striped. I was sold!

Over the next few posts that I hope to get up in the next few days, I will be reviewing different brands of cloth nappy so if you are thinking of using reusable nappies any time soon you will have a good idea where to start whether its to be more eco-friendly, save money or just be the latest  fashion victim, there is a nappy out there for you! ( or your baby at least ;-))
