I thought it was time for an update on how many nappies we all have. Now Emma, we all know you will have more than everyone else put together  
I think my stash is very modest considering it's for 2 kids! Latest count was 31!!  ------------- Nicky, Mum to Alex (5) & Sophie (3) http://lilypie.com">

I have:
12 small FB (out of use) 8 medium FB 4 petite FB 6 medium DryBees 6 mediums made by Debbie 
=36 I think that's all. It's a lot for us at the moment, but last year that many served two children full-time in mediums, and Hannah at nights. Amazing to think of now! ------------- |

Ooooh, lovely to read the inventory!
Leo's current stash includes: Days: 4 large Fuzzis, 2 large Honeychild, 2 large Foxybots and 2 large D'lish (with an extra snap-in). Nights: 2 large DB fitted, 1 large Huggle, 1 large DB merino cover & 2 pair of homemade wool longies Daycare (2 x 3hrs per week): 5 large white front-snap pockets. I also have 2 XL Fuzzis which Grace wore as a night nappy from 2.5-3.5yrs but haven't sold them on as she likes to wear them for extra confidence if we have a babysitter at nights (not that they're ever wet but it keeps her happy! ).

We are obviouslty a bit boring as we only have 24 Nap Naps. The most exciting we get is that 4 of them are nightime ones! ------------- Lindsey

OMG S, think Kaleb has more than Sam now! Not counting the ones that he's grown out of and are in our 'next baby' pile, he has - 50 I *think* but that's probably an underestimate In my defence, I like to have heaps of extras for daycare.....
Mix of AIOs, pockets and pocket fitteds. Some are OS, some Ms and some Ls. Some bought but mostly homemade ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Now down to 7 that fit and are making some more as we speak so will be back up there again, also makong some small ones for the baby. Mine are all covers with inserts, did do the pocket ones for a while but didn't suit Leahs butt shape! (or skinny legs - and she didn't get those from me!) -------------

Wow mum2sam that's alot for one bub!
I would comment emma... but honestly, it's expected from you
I don't have to count mine... I keep an inventory of them on the computer, and add to it when I buy new ones  It helps me keep track of what I have, and what's on the way, and if I lost something I'd know what it was hopefully. -------------

Ok, here's my list
15x Bumgenius 2x Foxybots (1x small 1x medium) 2x D'lish (+ 1x extra insert) 1x Honeychild (small) 1x Bubblebubs (small) 4x Bamboozles (fitted) 4x Totsbots covers (3x small 1x medium) 6X Prefolds and I had a Little Buttons Pop Nap in my hands today but sadly had to send it back as was missing a popper (hopefully not too far away) and another large cover on oreder as smalls no longer fit and getting sick of only having one. Oh and a stack of different sized soaker my mum knitted. Not too bad, considering Rohann only 3 months old! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

That's a great selection for a little one! What's the small HC like? I've only ever used them in large but I find them really reliable and the insert is more absorbent than other standard mf inserts I've tried. Vic xx |

Sorry ladies, I just don't get it! They're cute and all, but they hold in pee and poo lol
So I have 15 BG (4 white, 5 green, 4 yellow and 1 blue (only one though as the next one will be a GIRL!) Mind you, I'm into cloth cos we don't have to spend heaps on sposies, no other reason. Maybe if I had the cash I'd order a few cool ones... |

[QUOTE=emz] Sorry ladies, I just don't get it! They're cute and all, but they hold in pee and poo lol
QUOTE] Exactly!!! If you're having to deal with pee & poo all day the equiptment might as well be cute!!
Also, in regards to the cost - I have a nice selection of (what I think are) gorgeous nappies and I've still saved HEAPS on disposables. My medium set cost me 5mths worth of disposables - which we were able to wear for a year. I then sold them on and got back 75% of what I paid, to go towards my large set! So all in all, a huge saving, and I LOVE my nappies - not many people could say that about disposables

I do it mostly for the environment factor, though cost helps too.... but I'm not really all *that* worried if it costs as much as disposables.
ETA: besides, if I can convince myself that buying cute nappies is a treat, then I won't end up spending money on chocolate etc instead. -------------

I think it's fair to say that I've saved nothing by going cloth lol! But I do hold out hope of getting a bit back for them when I sell them. Just think, when baby is TTed I'll have an entire stash to get rid of! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Vic I really like the fit and everything of the HC, and insert is great, but to be honest I've been meaning to get in contact with HC as the poppers are kinda useless, they just pop back open as soon as snapped down - but it's one of those things that has been on my 'to do list' for ages and hasn't managed to happen  Though apart from that it I think it would be a really good nappy.
The main reasons we went cloth was the cost ('cos even with buying new nappies - I figure I'm still gonna be saving money, esp as I started out straight away with my first, although I'm not sure how 'tidy' the BG's will be for no.2). Secondly the chemicals etc that are in diposables really didn't appeal to me. I don't understand why if they can't use them sanitary pads they can use them in nappies - makes no sense, plus DH suffered quite badly from excema and sensitive skin and I knew there would be a chance our baby would too (she does), and peferred cloth for this. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
