Hi just to to add my twopenniesworth, I've used resusables from about week three of my sons life, like a lot of people used disposables at night though. However I have never found them a problem to use and hated the moments when putting him in a dry dizzy and then he pee'd or poo'd in them, ahh another 30p wasted etc.... whereas if did the same in a cloth one just put in the nappy bucket and started again. I used my tumble dryer very rarely and just got into a routine of putting them in the wash when the kids were in bed so could put them on the airer overnight and then on the line in the day. I used them with my daughter too and still didn't have any problems. Both sets of grandparents helped out with the kids and neither moaned about using the cloth nappies so can honestly say it wasn't just me managing but became a way of life. Really do think it saved me a fortune, if I'd bottle fed and used dizzy nappies that would have been the end of my child allowance every week.
