I'll be adding them to the wish list, due out in Sept which is perfect timing for me. I like OSFM MCNs.

I'd buy a whole lot of different types then resell what you don't like/what doesn't work for you both. You could hire too. I'm in the process of cleaning out my stash as I have an embarrasingly large selection that is too many even with 2 full time in cloth lol. But most cloth naps hold their resale value ]]> Sun, 08 Aug 2010 16:20:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35115&PID=1121353&title=one-brand-or-a-selection#1121353 <![CDATA[One brand or a selection : weegee wrote:Yep, definitely...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35115&PID=1120293&title=one-brand-or-a-selection#1120293 Author: mummyofprinces

This is what I would suggest... open a saving account and just put away a set amount from each pay until baby is here and then go shopping!]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:08:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35115&PID=1120293&title=one-brand-or-a-selection#1120293 <![CDATA[One brand or a selection : Ittis hold their value well ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35115&PID=1119959&title=one-brand-or-a-selection#1119959 Author: flakesitchyfeet

Thanks weegee I've put myself on the list for the hire kit.
I was wanting to get maybe 5-6 more to get myself started before I finish work and have no $.
I figure I can always re-sell the ones that don't work for me.

A mixture is good - my stash is a huge mixture of brands - some good, some average and a couple that are complete rubbish!!

Just remember that not every brand will fit the same so what works for one doesn't mean it will work you.

For nights, I have found fitted nappies like bitti boo to be great for nights.

Little Bots are a new nappy on the market but a very affordable price and better quality than the cheap ones off Trade Me.

It is a really good idea to build up while on a good income! ]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:29:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35115&PID=1119936&title=one-brand-or-a-selection#1119936 <![CDATA[One brand or a selection : Yep, definitely get a mix, that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35115&PID=1119930&title=one-brand-or-a-selection#1119930 Author: weegee

Hiya, I started with prefolds for the first month or so, I was going to use disposables in the first while but got home and just went straight into cloth, so easy, she leaked a few times but you soon learn how much you need. Im now using babyland OSFA's, they are great, make sure you get the 'new' ones with the leg snaps as they hold everything in waaaaay better. I also have some itti bittis in medium- im not really a fan, they are only a day nappy, cant use them at night, and you cant adjust the legs- my DD has got good sized legs but her waist size means they dont fit around the legs. I would recomend getting a few different sorts, each baby is different, im on the hunt for some new ones now. I have 15 babylands, i do a wash once a day, but cant go for 2 days, need a few more! HTH, good luck ]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:25:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35115&PID=1119883&title=one-brand-or-a-selection#1119883 <![CDATA[One brand or a selection : Starting to build up my cloth...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35115&PID=1119837&title=one-brand-or-a-selection#1119837 Author: caliandjack

Starting to build up my cloth stash. So far I've got small itti bittis, babyland OSFAs, an ecobubs pocket and a foxy bots. So 6 MCNs in total.

Is it best to get a variety of brands/designs so I can figure out what works?
Or have you stuck with your favourites?

Wanting to get a working stash built up while I'm still collecting a wage.
What's a good number of MCNs to start with?

I have a box of huggies newborns to use in the first few weeks after DD is born, then I'd like to switch to cloth full time during the day at least, with huggies at night. Till I'm confident with nappies.
