The diapers never seem to smell right, and rarely ever dry throughly. I feel that the laundry costs are probably as close to how much we would be spending on 'sposies because of second washings and prolonged drying. <br /><br />I can't wait for the sun to be warmer here so we can hang them! <br /><br />The only other drawback would be getting the poop off in the toilet. It has really helped to use fleece liners, (I just cut up an old fleece blanket!) and we want to get a toilet sprayer soon. We're hoping this will help with the washing. <br /><br />We use prefolds and fitted diapers with fleece liners and a waterproof wrap from Thirstes or Bummies.dottedcircleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935878311086222442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432600533968414372.post-26474327717866031972011-02-06T07:10:58.516-06:002011-02-06T07:10:58.516-06:00Yay!

I can't remember where I read it but i seem to remember it closer to £1,000. Also, some NCT groups allow you to hire a nappy kit so you can try out different ones for about £20! I managed to get 18 Fuzzis for £90 so I'm definitely saving money! Lol. I also got tonnes of totsbots off of freegle but they seem to give my baby a rash. I really want to get on with them as I have about 15 and two wraps so it would pad my supply out nicely! <br /><br />Let's hope we get some sunshine and warmth soon! I can't wait to hang those nappies out in the sun :) nice post!

Too often, I end up rummaging through a pile of clean diapers on our kitchen table.Laura @ Our Messy Messy Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10036017218322694255noreply@blogger.com
