I just don't know where to start or what I need to get started.

Can anyone please help and tell me what I need to get going?

Thank you in advance!

That's the thing, I've always assumed it was just a Terrys cloth with a plastic pair of knickers on top lol, I didn't realise there was such variety and that's what got me stumped!

I will have a look on that site hun, thank you x

Lol, it's confusing isn't it!

Other good sites are:

www.babipur.co.uk
www.green-me.co.uk

Have a look at the nappy review thread further down the page as well!

There are loads of diff types!

I'm still confused lol

Would it be a good idea if I could tell you all a bit about my self and you ladies could make recommendations of which ones would suit me and my LO?
Then I can stick to looking for the brand mostly suggested to start off with (at least until I become more knowledgeable on the cloth nappy front and find my feet so to speak)

Also I am on a budget as to what I can afford straight off so need a good value starter kit for which ever brand I go with!

Ok so I won't go on and on about every aspect of my life just the parts I feel are relevant lol

firstly I don't go out an awful lot, usually just to take the older kids to school and collect, and also a bit of retail therapy every now and then, so convenience isn't a major issue.

There is the issue of my OH's mother who I believe will have an issue with it and as quite a self concious person I get very down hearted when she sticks her oar in!

I am on maternity leave so inevitably I will eventually have to go back to work so will need to be simple enough for nursery staff, grandma and OH to grasp!

I really don't know what else to put? If you need answers to any other things to make a suggestion just ask and I will answer them!

Sorry to be such a dunce lol

i'm thinking maybe and all in one (aio) or an pocket type nappy would suit you as then they would be easy for oh etc to do, possibly the ebay cheapies as they are brill on catching everything and also they don't cost the world then once you are sure you like washables then you could invest in some more expensive ones, also buying a few trial packs would be good as you can then see which you like and sell the ones you don't on here.

Ive just seen on a site mentioned that local councils offer incentive schemes such as money back and I searched and found my local council do too!
I'm going to ring them tomorrow and find out exactly what I will be entitled to!
In the mean time I'm going to browse eBay to see what I can find and could you recommend the best sites to get starter packs from please?

Thank you x x
