To both of you also recommend a hire kit. Different people prefer different nappies. We are firmly pocket people in this house because we find they are quick drying, trim and you can adjust the absorbancy.

I wasn't so keen on fitteds and all in ones simply becuase they take longer to dry and you can't change the absorbancy easily. Having said that...some people swear by them. Comes down to what works for you and your baby and a hire kit is the best way to try them all out and find what suits.

Where can you get a hire kit from?
I have bought a trial kit from snazzipants with one fitted and two bummis, but really think the pockets are going to be the ones I go with. I have just heard such good feedback about them especially with being able to change absorbancy etc.

I'll have a chat to a friend of mine Sterryn and see if she has one free at the moment.

If you are in West Auckland, the council does a good deal..

Christchurch offer a subsidy..

Try asking your council to see if you get a discount or can hire something from them...

Sterryn I'd use up all (or nearly all) the sposies you have and start using MCN at around 3-6mos (for example my biggish baby is fitting into size medium Fuzzis now). That way you'll use most of what sposies you have, and not have to worry about keeping the washing up to date right from day 1.

As for washing them, well it's not too much different from if baby poops through everything (which happens with MCN and sposies) and you chuck that through the wash. I don't have a hot tap for my washing machine so I wash in cold with a double rinse. If the nappies are wet they go in with the clothes but yucky ones go in a separate load.
