We've just started on cloth in the last month and I love it, wish I'd ignored the negative opinions and started earlier! We're using cloth full time during the day now. Still using a sposie at night, though I'm keen to investigate some good cloth night nappies now.

I want to use cloth! I have been investigating the best option on what ones to buy and use - obviously ones with packs that carry the child through are what I want.
Currently favour the Real Nappies Cloth Nappies but havent bought yet!!

Dee - I've only used itti bitti tuttos so far and have been really impressed, DH liked the idea of a OSFM nappy.

We use cloth on DS. But DD has disposables for naps, cloth at night.
From about 2yrs DD stopped wearing cloth. I was pregnant & couldnt handle toddler poo in cloth anymore so we used disposables 
Faffer i love Pop Ins for night time use. They are quite dare but well worth it. They are also on clearance now.
I use this site Tweedle
Then you just buy the night booster. Also Chic Cheeks, Cheeky Cherubs are good too. All FB groups :)

I've got some cheaper cloth nappies, which I am finding great!! They're called Sunny Baby, and I bought them off trademe. They didn't work so well when baby was little, but since he was 4 months or so, they have worked great! I still use a disposable at night though. Really glad I have the cloth nappies now, a huge saving! and they are easy to wash and dry!

Full time cloth since DS was about 6 weeks and have started collating nappies for the new baby too. I'm so glad we went this route, it is lovely to bypass the baby aisle at the supermarket

fallen - It's not that much more washing, seriously!!
We've been using cloth in the day since 10 days old and full time from about 8 weeks. Love using cloth nappies and will use them from birth for the next baby.
Disposable nappies still have their place though if we're away for more than a couple of nights...they are convenient.

Cloth for my twins but disposables at night for no other reason than it's easy and I've always done it.

Cloth full time here on DS. DD was also in cloth full time till she toilet trained 5 months before DS was born. Not sure what I would have done if I'd had two in nappies! And I second pop ins for night

Cloth in the day, disposables overnight.
And why don't they make toddler jeans etc that actually fit over a cloth bum??!

I find cleaning the little bottom worse than washing the nappies, newmama
Cloth fulltime here, and will be for the next one too. DD's been put in sposies a couple of times at daycare and it gives her the most horrendous rash, so I told them never again!
We use large bitti boos in thirsties covers at night - she's in them from about 6.30pm till she agrees to a nappy change in the morning, usually after breakfast, so around 7-8am. Recently we've started boosting them with a medium SIO trifold cos sometimes she's a super-wetter. We've had one leak ever (touchwood!) when we didn't have the cover on quite right.

Full time sposies here too, tried the MCN hire kit and having to contend with my first pooey nappy put me off.
On top of that I'd be doing it all myself, hard enough to get DH to change a sposie let alone cloth.

Right now, full time sposies - I have enough trouble trying to keep on top of my washing while working!! When I'm at home again then it will depend on the day and my mood, lol! But will aim for cloth during the day and sposie at night.

Aiming for Cloth 100% of the time, after about 3/4 weeks... have a hire kit coming but have my heart set on Itti Bitti OSFM (in LOVE with the colours and how soft they are)
Dunno why but almost EVERYONE we tell that we are going to use cloth reckon we wont after a few weeks - have some faith please!

I have always used disposables...& loved them. They have got cuter & better over the years. Easy to use, no washing, drying folding or wet smelly nappies waiting for a wash. I never likes the way cloth looked on babies as they look so bulky between the legs.
