 Topic: Never Used A Disposable Nappy?
Posted: 12 December 2010 at 2:35pm |
Hi Ladies 
Just curious....
How many of you have NEVER used a disposable nappy on your bubba?
I know a few people tend to use them for the first few days/weeks before moving onto cloth, or maybe used them on a long flight, but I'm just curious how many of you have NEVER used a disposable?

Ooh have you?? I wish I could say never hehe, but we used disposables exclusively till DD was 3wks, then off and on till she was 3months. She's been in cloth full time since 3months, even when we went camping last summer 
Have got heaps of tiny newborn nappies for this next bubba and am actually planning to not use disposables at all, will let ya know if it works out that way

Yup, only cloth in this house. I really hate disposables.
Got me thinking how many other bubbas have never used a disposable. I'm guessing not many.

This is the goal for #2! Especially to be more organised! I wanted to do cloth but I hadn't got all the nappies and dd came a week early so the money for that got spent on other things!

We used them for one time in hospital then only a couple once we got home (mainly DF cause he couldnt get his head around the prefolds). I had to use them last month as we were in hospital for a week in another town, and there was no way I was trying flat nappies on a 6 month old, plus I had no covers. Next baby will be cloth all the way unless we have to stay somewhere where there is no washing facilities.

Pretty sure my third child never had disposables on. I did cloth with her from the start at the hospital.

I wish I could say me - it was certainly the plan! But somewhere in the mad dash to transfer from a homebirth to the hospital for assistance, we forgot to take them with us! So we used hospital sposies for the first 20 hours or so that we were in hospital. Her first nappy change once we got home was into a prefold and we've never gone back.
Daycare have put the occasional disposable on her too, when she's going sliding around in paint or something, but she gets an awful rash every time they do, so I've told them to get paint on her cloth naps instead.

The only time I've caved into convenience is when we went to Fiji and I bought some flushable nappy liners. They gave the boy horrific nappy rash  Needless to say, we won't be using those again!
T-Rex I can remember giving the OH strict instructions that in the event I was rushed to hospital (homebirth) it was his responsibility to make sure they didn't put a disposable on the boy. LOL never mind whatever medical emergency that could have been! Honestly... the way my mind works sometimes. Once I get a bee in my bonnet about something

not a single disposable nappy here too :-) our little girl is nearly 4 months. It wasn't that difficult but we did have a newborn hire kit (two actually) which really helped - I can't imagine trying to get OSFM nappies to work when she was tiny.
I don't know that many others either, even amongst the mums I know that usually use cloth!
We are going to be travelling to the UK in June this year and I still plan to stick with it... A good excuse to stock up on more of a stash!! Great shopping addiction.

I've just been to the UK for Christmas  I had a wheelie hand luggage case which (amongst other things) had all my prefolds and boosters in. I bought an extra large wetbag to store the dirties in. I also had a proper nappy bag (Ergo backpack) which stored my small 'nappy pod' which I used when changing the boy, and then transferred the dirty nappies from the small wet bag, to the big one, when it was full.
It worked really well. You just need to be organised. I even coped despite the fact it took us 4 days to get to Edinburgh (including and overnight stop in Cyprus and London!) due to the snow chaos

thx Millie, great to hear that. I like your system. WIll have to set up something similar.
We are having a night stopover on the way there (no choice) but straight through on the way back - theoretically! We'll need to have enough to get through the flight plus the stopover without washing... shopping may be required ;-)

That was the plan, but both boys ended up in a mix of sposies and cloth for the first week - purely cause I'd been given some for free. I've NEVER paid for a sposie - that counts right??
And yep on the long-haul flight front too -- we travelled Auckland to Halifax (Canada) over the course of 4 days and used cloth the whole time - easy!!
